We catch up with Johann from TheBasement, an emerging YouTuber from Tasmania who does vintage... audio, as well as computers. He's rescued and restored many items from e-waste and thrift stores over the years, and he shares some of the secrets to his success.

As it’s been while since the previous episode, there’s a bumper ARC event report. Just ignore the fact it’s about 2 months late.

Don't forget you can hit us up at grumpyozretro.com if you've got something to say, as well as the comments feed on this episode over on the⁠⁠ OzRetrocomp⁠⁠ YouTube channel.

Thanks for listening and stay retro.

Craig & Tony

The Grump

Tony's grump is about scammers in the retro community. This grump came as the result of allegations levelled against a colourful character in the US retro scene earlier this year. Slightly old news, but these videos are still worth watching due to grifters being an ongoing problem in hobbyist communities worldwide.
