Was a bit sad when Neil left, but it's still a better show than the retro hour 👌
As someone who started on a ZX80 then ZX81 through ViC 20 then Atari ST I have maintained a strong interest in retro games and computers. I have listened to many retro podcasts but this one is way ahead. Content and presentation is extremely well done and caused me to go to Patreon to give proper recognition of all of the passion and effort put in by the presentation team. Well done!
I’ve been a follower of TWIR for many years and find it one of the best podcasts for Retro News. The presenters provide a great mix of opinion and fact on the stories of the week. If your looking for a podcast that is welcoming and informative, look no further than TWIR.
I've been a long time listener from the beginning, and I can honestly say that it's one of the things I look forward to listening to every week.
A good mix of fascinating stories from the world of retro computing and fun chat between the hosts.
