Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast. Hang on a minute, it's not Friday. What on earth are we doing popping up on your podcast feed midweek?

Causing some confusion. I'm Dan Wood. I'm Ravi Abbott and I'm Joe Fox. And the reason that we are doing, what I believe they call in the podcast industry, a feed drop drop midweek is that just to let you know about

a big announcement, something huge that we've just launched, and also to say thank you to you as well.

Now, we do know that some of our listeners don't always listen to the podcast on the week that it

comes out. We do get tweets all the time off people saying, I'm finally up to episode 100.

I'll have caught up in about a year

from now. So for those people, we thought we'd do a little flash announcement to bring it up to

speed. And for those people who have supported it so far, we wanted to say a massive thank you.

As on Friday, we launched what I think is the biggest project that we've worked on since we

started this podcast. We launched

The Retro Hour Book. Now, you can get this on Kickstarter right now. It is running for the next

25 days or so at the time that this episode drops. So you can get it by going to our Kickstarter

page and link will be in the show notes or you'll find it on the front page of our website

at the retro hour.com if you want to support it. And I'll tell you what, it's been doing

fantastically. Like we're nearly 50% on our goal and that's crazy. And just thanks so much to

the people that have backed us, you know, 240 backers already.

Yeah, at the time we're recording this on Tuesday, lunchtime.

So the book is called The Retro Hour, The History of Video Gaming, from those who made it happen.

Now, the idea is that we wanted it to be a real celebration of this podcast,

because you know we've done this for like, well, over seven years now.

And we've interviewed over 350 people for this show. But the thing is, I mean, if like,

you know, I don't know, I hope this doesn't happen, guys. But if we'll get to 10 years and we'd be
