I can't believe it.

Max has asked me to move in with him.

I mean, you practically live with each other already, but that's great.

Did you hear that, Joe?

Yes, thanks for letting us know.

I see you've updated your universal credit claim.

Now you're going to be living together.

Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast, episode number 36,

your weekly dose of retro gaming and technology news with me, Dan Wood.

And me, Ravi Abbott. And here we are, into a 36 episode. It's dark outside right now, like 8 o'clock in the evening. Yeah, I've got a cold. It's all getting wintery. Everything's pumpkin spiced in the shops all of a sudden. Now, if you are new to the podcast, first of all, where have you been? We've been doing this since, like, January now. We've done 36 episodes, come on.

But there are a lot of people just getting into the show,

and it's like, we've got a big back catalogue to check out. So many amazing guests as well, including the guy that we have on this week. Now, if you want you to the show, the way the show works is Ravi and I talk through the big technology and retro stories of the week. And then the second half of the show is dedicated to a very interesting guest. And this week, it is one for the Amiga Heads, isn't it? Dude, you've come up trumps with this. I can't believe it. Ben Vost, Amiga Format's editor. My favourite magazine, man. Now, Ben was involved with Amiga Format in the latter years, wasn't he? So he was there from like 96 onwards,

which I think, I mean, Amiga format, I read it from like 91 up until the last issue. And a lot of people, when you tell them, Amiga format went on to like the year 2000, into the 21st century. People were like, no way, an Amiga magazine still going then. But, you know, this is a guy that really, you know, he held the Amiga community together really.

Amiga format was at the centre of it or, wasn't it, in those late years?

In the UK, it all, wasn't it, in those late years?

In the UK, it was just...

It was the biggest consumer magazine at one point, wasn't it? Bigger than, like, the movie mags and everything Amiga format. Then GQ, then all these fashion mags, Amiga dominated at one point. Yeah, and like, you know, Ben, obviously, he was the editor of Amiga format, the last one,

and the guy that had to close a magazine down as well.

Yeah.
