Welcome to the ChinnyVision podcast, the occasional trip into the realms of the dusty computer shops of yesteryear. Todays guest is Ross Taylor, aka TheXboxVision. I first came across Ross's digital face nearly 20 years ago on a gaming forum run by an ex Amiga Power staffer, and back when I had a current console we used to get beaten by 8 year olds at Halo. I know him as a gaming guru, Amiga fan and as someone who worked at Game. But where did it all begin for him?   ChinnyVision on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifcRlP9KST8T0irCHyykrA   This podcast venture is possible thanks to the kind people who fund ChinnyVision (they literally paid for this Podbean account).
