The ChinnyVision Podcast
ChinnyVision arrives in podcast form. So less”Vision” and more ”Audio”. This irregular podcast aims to speak to users about their experiences and computer collections.The aim is document the experiences of the day to day users and their collections from buying budget games in the newsagents to repairing VIC 20‘s in the 21st century. Don‘t expect lots of big names or coders.It‘s people like you sharing their experiences in this remarkably low octane podcast where people remember when ‘it was all fields around here‘.
