The fact that this amazing publication was Marylou's side gig while she was an executive at Warner Records, working with the likes of Quincy Jones and Prince, makes the magazine's excellence even more astounding.<br /> Marylou takes us back to those heady days and we find out what it was like to be a retailer at that time, how news was gathered and what it was like to be dealing with some of the greatest musicians of the age.</p> <p>Recorded: April 2026</p> <p>Get us on your mobile device:<br /> Android: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly92aWRlb2dhbWVuZXdzcm9vbXRpbWVtYWNoaW5lLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz<br /> iOS: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/video-game-newsroom-time-machine</p> <p>And if you like what we are doing here at the podcast, don't forget to like us on your podcasting app of choice, YouTube, and/or support us on patreon!<br /> https://www.patreon.com/VGNRTM</p> <p>Send comments on <br /> Mastodon @videogamenewsroomtimemachine@oldbytes.space<br /> Or<br /> twitter @videogamenewsr2<br /> Or<br /> Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vgnrtm<br /> Or<br /> https://bsky.app/profile/vgnrtm.bsky.social<br /> Or<br /> videogamenewsroomtimemachine@gmail.com</p> <p>Links:</p> <p>Video Version: https://www.patreon.com/VGNRTM/posts/marylou-badeaux-162489729<br /> https://www.memories4you.com.au/<br /> https://www.amazon.com/Moments-Remembering-Prince-Marylou-Badeaux/dp/0648189112<br /> Computer Entertainer/Video Game Update Archive - https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Computer+Entertainer%22&sort=-date<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville_(nightclub)<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Records<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_(musician)<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Jones<br /> Listen Up - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102315/<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11<br /> Larry Graham - One in a Million You - https://youtu.be/SxCBu45HgjE?si=z8YKetaMDOTmlntt<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarnerMedia#AOL_Time_Warner_(2001%E2%80%932003)<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Benson</p> <p><br /> Copyright Karl Kuras</p>
