Over the weekend of August 2022, I had the privilege of meeting up with a bunch of awesome people at Retro World Expo.  I decided to set up a "podcast station" (with the help of My Life In Gaming) and have a chat with many of the awesome people from the retro gaming scene.  The goal was to compile all the conversations together in chronological order, so people who weren't able to attend can feel like they were there hanging out with us as the day (and crazy weather!) went on.  I sadly wasn't able to get to everyone, but there's some awesome people here!  Links to everyone below, or check out the main link here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/retro-world-expo-podcast-roundup-pt1.html 02:10 Mason Conrad:  https://twitter.com/MasNConrad 13:22 Justin:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ConsoleKits 41:53 Ryan:  https://castlemaniagames.com 1:00:35 Shank:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ShankMods 1:17:52 Nicole:  https://www.patreon.com/nicole_express Please consider

Here's an interview with professional musician, writer and longtime RetroRGB contributor, Rany Battikh.  I've considered Rany a friend for a long time now and it was absolutely awesome to invite him over and be able to do a podcast.  If you like music (especially metal \m/), retro games and hearing interesting stories about cool places like Lebanon where Rany lives, you'll enjoy this one!

I recently had a fun chat with Pat from the Shiro! crew to discuss vinyl records.  While this topic (and cassettes) really need a deep-dive video to prove the points we made, I thoroughly enjoyed the technical speculation, as well as just sharing our thoughts on the format.  It doesn't matter if you're a fan of video game music, or just music in general, if you were curious why people are talking about vinyl again, this is a great start!  As always, these long-from chats are also available on YouTube.  Check the main post for a link, as well as some other fun stuff Pat passed along:  https://www.retrorgb.com/talking-vinyl-with-patrick-from-sega-saturn-shiro.html Pat's recommended setup*: Amp: https://amzn.to/3S78zIP Record Player:  https://amzn.to/3vaNXVX Headshell:  https://amzn.to/3v9GO8j Phono Pre-Amp:  https://www.mofielectronics.com/studiophono-phonostage Speakers (UNshielded):  https://amzn.to/3zpNZvz My (much cheaper ;p) recommended setup*: Am
