About GrumpyOZRetro - Australian vintage computing and retrogaming podcast

Two middle aged Aussie blokes talking about the state of vintage computers and retrogaming, both today and back when these these things were known as just "computers" and "gaming". In each episode, we welcome a guest to share their stories about what they did with computers back in the day, along with what they're doing with old computers right now. May contain slightly coarse language and unpopular opinions.

   GrumpyOZRetro Ep#008 - Ian Mavric

   A bit of a different format this time around. Craig is flying solo for the first half, and the rest of our chat with Ian Mavric (teased in the 2024 Canberra Vintage Computer Exhbition special) fills the second half. If you're a Tandy aficionado, chances are you already know Ian quite well. If you've ever bought vintage stuff on eBay, you may have dealt with Ian without even realising it. Ian has been at this for many years, and is a trusted figure in the Australian retro scene, built up over many years of providing quality items and service to vintage computer collectors across the country, and Tandy collectors worldwide.

   GrumpyOZRetro Ep#007 - Johann from TheBasement

   We catch up with Johann from TheBasement, an emerging YouTuber from Tasmania who does vintage... audio, as well as computers. He's rescued and restored many items from e-waste and thrift stores over the years, and he shares some of the secrets to his success. As it’s been while since the previous episode, there’s a bumper ARC event report. Just ignore the fact it’s about 2 months late. Don't forget you can hit us up at grumpyozretro.com if you've got something to say, as well as the comments feed on this episode over on the⁠⁠ OzRetrocomp⁠⁠ YouTube channel.

   GrumpyOZRetro Ep#006 - Chris Arneil (National Film & Sound Archive)

   Chris Arneil is an archivist with the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, specialising in Australian computer software. Craig recently caught up him to discuss his work, along with his own experiences with gaming. This episode features our very first interstate field report, courtesy of Marc Falconer from Brisbane Amiga Retro (thanks Marc!), along with a belated update from ARC. BTW the delay with this episode is all Tony's fault. He just bought a house that needs recapping and retrobriting. This will affect the release schedule of future episodes, so the next episode will be here when it's ready.

   GrumpyOZRetro Ep#003 25 August 2023 - Randall Crook

   In this episode, we catch up with Randall Crook, a vintage computing enthusiast whose interest in the hobby was born from his love of electronics. He has one of the more interesting collections we’ve heard about, and he’s a brilliant storyteller. Check out his website (https://sites.google.com/view/randalls-jump-page/home). There's the usual guff and grump, including Tony’s near-theft experience involving an abandoned computer in a garage, and Craig scoring the vintage computer bargain of 2023 (so far).
