In this penultimate episode of Season 4, we get quite the rollercoaster of emotions (Brian admits to crying at least 3 times); but, there’s plenty of reason to get excited, too. For one, our guest panelist, Erika Ensign, is back again! Join Chip, Erika, and Brian for the ride. In fact, why don’t you ride the bus with us to Ashton Gate to cheer on the Greyhounds? Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Erika Ensign.

Coming into the season, there are usually six or seven solid choices to win the Cup. This year? One team is getting most of the attention.

Despite having the word as part of its name, we don’t typically consider an Atari VCS to be an actual computer. In this episode we’re going to look at some of the ways that a few companies, including Atari, tried to turn this iconic game console into a full-fledged computer. Operation 8-Bit is a grass-roots not for profit group that helps to support charities like the Tour De Force 9/11 Memorial Bike Ride and the Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) by raising funds through the restoration and resale of classic computers and video games. We are supported by donations from people just like you, and these donations can make an amazing difference to helping the organizations and families we support. If you have an old Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo that you (or your kids) never use anymore, or if there is an old computer just gathering dust in your attic or in the back of a closet that you would like to donate, please let us know by visiting our website.

Expertly-told stories about the 50-year history of Apple and the world it created, from Jason Snell and Myke Hurley. We cover the entire range of the last half-century, from Apple's earliest days in a garage, to the rise of the Mac, to the return of Steve Jobs and the creation of some of Apple's most iconic products. Apple's history is also our shared tech history, and these are all stories worth telling.
