Richard Shaw-Wright is a sports journalist and old computer fan. His journey started with a CPC 464 and has led, via holiday visits to the top floor of The Friary Shopping Centre, to a career covering all manner of sports on the radio. We have a chat about Spectrum's, CPC's, Amiga's and pressing our noses against some thick double glazed glass to get a glimpse of Simon Cummings.   Richard's Youtube Channels:   https://www.youtube.com/@wakefieldoutlaw https://www.youtube.com/@Forty20TV/videos  + Socials at - https://twitter.com/thersw   The ChinnyVision Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifcRlP9KST8T0irCHyykrA   ChinnyVision 2 - The shoddy sister channel of ChinnyVision: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt7diaJaYCyeHV16AGvCdxw     Buy Pens, coasters and stuff - http://www.chinnyvision.com   ChinnyVision on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/chinnyvision.bsky.social   ChinnyVision on Mastodon - https://toot.community/@ChinnyVision    

Commodore Lad has probably the largest collection of C64's in the UK. He takes in unloved and broken machines and repairs them. He also has a vast retro hoard that also includes C16's, Vic 20's, Pets and even some Amstrad and Sinclair machines. ChinnyVision visits his headquarters in the old Southern Railway town of Eastleigh.   Commodore Lad on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CommodoreLad     ChinnyVision on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifcRlP9KST8T0irCHyykrA ChinnyVision on Mastodon - https://toot.community/@ChinnyVision   This podcast is possible thanks to the kind people who fund ChinnyVision (they literally paid for this Podbean account).

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).

My first guest on the ChinnyVision podcast is Andy Bowd, otherwise known as @bowdie from Twitter. He talks to me about his first computing experiences, how he switched his Spectrum for a C64 and how he got a free holiday from Commodore for selling rather a lot of Amiga Cartoon Classics packs! He then goes on to tell me how he now repairs computers for his collection.   ChinnyVision on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifcRlP9KST8T0irCHyykrA   Support ChinnyVision on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chinnyhill10   The ChinnyVision website for pens, mugs and access to every video: https://www.chinnyvision.com
