Never mind the Epstein files... what's going on with Budgie?

Recorded a fun episode of 8-Bit Back Issues last night with @filmstories.bsky.social Magazine editor @ryanlambie.bsky.social. We got to geek out about Your Sinclair issue 36. That should be out on 8 May for your enjoyment.

Our next episode is ready to release on 8th April featuring guest Andy Smith aka @tamagon64.bsky.social. We chat about the first issue of Nintendo Magazine System. open.spotify.com/show/3xLNDvA...

Our next episode is edited and ready for release on Sunday 8th March. Geoff and Paul are joined by returning guest Colin Jackson-Brown @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social to chat about Sega Master Force issue 6!

A preview of some of the mags we'll be chatting about over the next few months...

I promised it would be a bumper episode and I wasn't kidding. After editing it down, this is the episode's final running time. It's a great chat though and I know you'll enjoy it.

It's all edited and uploaded ready to go. The next episode of 8-Bit Back Issues will be out on 8 February at 8am GMT and will feature my chat with @ashversus.bsky.social from @underconsolepod.bsky.social about Mean Machines issue 23.

We will be taking a brief hiatus in January as our next episode is a bumper one with Ash Versus from @underconsolepod.bsky.social which will be released in February...

And then in October, @philsouth.bsky.social joined us to chat about Your Spectrum issue 18, the start of his gaming journalism career. open.spotify.com/episode/2O14...

DJ Slope from @slopesgameroom.bsky.social joined us for the September episode to chat about Sega Magazine issue 11. open.spotify.com/episode/0fGH...

A new episode coming this Sunday featuring @mpkch.bsky.social from @breakspace.bsky.social. We chat BreakSpace and Crash, two great Spectrum mags - one from yesterday, and one from today...

Jumping on a recording of @reddwarfpod.bsky.social today to talk about a different magazine from my youth. There's a very unfortunate reason why it's this mag as it's a bit of a reunion with my 18 year old self...

Just finished a recording of an upcoming episode with Ash from @underconsolepod.bsky.social. This may be the longest episode yet but trust me you're going to enjoy it when it comes out in January.

Coming on Saturday - new episode with @ukgnzoidberg.bsky.social who is namechecked on the back of The Dizzy Collection's Amiga release for his review of Fantasy World Dizzy!

Had a lovely chat this morning with @mpkch.bsky.social from @breakspace.bsky.social. You'll hear this chat on December 8th. In the meantime, make sure you check out their free magazine. It includes this lovely picture of a guinea pig! breakspace.itch.io/breakspace-i...

Finished up a recording yesterday about early 90s gaming with issue 1 of Games-X and doing one tomorrow about the legendary magazine Crash. I know I've been Spectrum heavy of late so I am actively looking to speak to gamers about Commodore 64, Atari and Xbox magazines.

It's taken me way too long to do this but I now own my first @bitmapbooks.com title. And of course it's their Spectrum title. I see my current episode guest @philsouth.bsky.social is one of the contributors too!

Really would love to do an episode on this mag - I know very little about it other than it was a promotional mag produced by Nintendo for use in the movie 'The Wizard'. Copies of it were distributed to moviegoers when the film was in the cinemas.

I was pleased to join @markadamshc.bsky.social for this week's episode of Shipwrecked and Comatose to talk about the bizarre movie Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child. Robert Llewellyn appears in this movie which features some of your favourite gaming YouTubers.
