February 07, 2018 Episode 45 - CoCo Crew Podcast wrap-up and more
The latest episode of the CoCo Crew Podcast has dropped, if you missed it, visit http://cococrew.org The host discussion was based off a Facebook post about cross-posting to multiple groups, and I think we'll pick that topic up and add a few more than two cents to it.
We may also have another question to ask, and possibly answer in our new segment, "Why did Tandy do that?" of "Why did they do that?" so stay tuned to find out. To join the show add CoCo TALK! as a Skype contact by searching for [email protected] and adding that contact.
On the call: Allen Huffman, Jason "CoCoMan" Reighard, David Ladd, Grant Leighty, Curtis Boyle, Mark Overholser, Nick Marentes, Richard Lorbieski, Steve Bjork, Ron Delvaux, Can Ken Make it Ken Reighard

January 13, 2018 Episode 41 - CoCoTALK! After Dark #2
Original video episode YouTube link: https://youtu.be/OtdgWeD7N4Q
This week's CoCoTALK! was not live, it was recorded Friday night as our second ever CoCoTALK! after dark, no agenda, no live audience, just a couple of guys talking CoCo, and perhaps having some adult beverages.
On the call: Bill Nobel, Boisy Pitre, Grant Leighty, CoCoMan Jason Reighard, Bruce Moore, David Ladd, John Linville, John Strong, Mark Overholser, Mike Rowen, Neil Blancard, Paul Fiscarelli, Paul Thayer, Richard Lorbieski, Ron Delvaux, Simon Jonassen, and Steve Batson.
We did a little bit of around the room project updates.
David Ladd explained a 6809 emulation bug he discovered that's being addressed and showed us how to create PMODE 4 image using MS Paint in Windows and converting it to work on the CoCo.
Boisy Pitre gave us an update on the DriveWire server for Mac he's working on.
John Linville showed off a cool joystick adapter for the Alice computer, French cousin of the MC-10
And we heard updates from just about everybody on the panel as far as what they are working on, and had a lot of random chat, and a few laughs.
Enjoy!

January 05, 2018 CoCoTALK! The best of 2017 compiled by Brian Joyce
Brian Joyce down under in Australia compiled the Best of CoCoTALK! 2017 episode for us all to enjoy.
This is better seen than heard, and here is the link to the YouTube versions: https://youtu.be/yrhiVMESTsg
There are captions explaining where each segment came from that would have been to laborous to try and add audibly. That being said, it's still great to hear, so enjoy the best of CoCoTALK! from 2017, Happy New Year, and we look forward to an even better 2018.
