About this podcast

The Retro Blast Podcast is a show dedicated to the video games that shaped us and the experiences and memories that we all hold close to our hearts.-Host Patrick Brickhouse is joined each episode by special guest co-hosts from all across the video gaming community to talk all about these classic games, but to also share the nostalgic experiences and memories surrounding them. And most importantly, why these "old" games are just so special to many of us.-There are also very special 'Memories' episodes that are fully written and narrated stories (true ones!) that will take you back in time. Episodes like 'The Arcade at the Beach', 'A Kid and his N64', and 'FuncoLand' will take you on pure gaming nostalgia trips to the past that you definitely don't want to miss... -If you're a fan of gaming across consoles like NES, SNES, Sega Genesis or Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Gear, PlayStation, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube, PS2, XBOX and more, then this podcast is made just for you!-Join
