  • "I was just listening to the latest episode of the show and wanted to point out that there are at least a few active Commodore podcasts. Full disclosure, I'm one co-host of Chicken Lips Radio...There are also two other Commodore podcasts I know about...Press Play on Tape which covers general Commodore topics...Rob O'Hara's Sprite Castle, which I think heavily concentrates on gaming." -- Todd George
