Customer Reviews
Good company and useful
This show keeps me good company when I'm cooking or working around the house. It's fun and easy listening, and pretty much a must for any Apple II fan. I love the various regular segments like looking at a unusual Apple II-related eBay items, or challenging the listener to identify a snippet of music from a classic Apple II game. The guests have been interesting and thought-provoking. Sound issues with Mike in earlier episodes have been resolved, and now I can recommend this with no reservations.
Outstanding!
These guys do an outstanding job of keeping the Apple II alive!
the Jay and Silent Bob of 8-bit computer podcasters
Very good content, long but not tedious. Some episodes have bored me, but the majority of what I've listened to is very listenable, factual discussion. I enjoy the diversity that comes with featuring various guests, although at times it seems like the guest is an outsider in a well-established clique that consists of Ken and Mike (who remind me of Jay and Silent Bob) and their faithful audience of listeners, but that distinction between the constant and the changing.
