  • "The CoCo Crew podcast (for the Tandy Color Computer) runs adds but they are delightful. Sometimes they run vintage adds and sometimes they run funny adds, and sometimes they run mock adds of products form the 80s. It is the creativity of these adds that is so good." -- John Mark Mobley
  • "One thing I really liked... I liked how Miro and Neil read news. It is good to hear them speak more throughout the show and not just play the Ed McMahon. It reminds me more of my favorite vintage podcast, which is out of the UK." -- Carlos Camacho
