I talk to Andy Johnson, owner of the last VHS rental shop in the UK - VideOdyssey. We cover all things tape; from the lost comedies of the 1980's, to the pure joy of coming face-to face with 8 foot high video walls. Also, listen out for a tale of what Quentin Tarantino got up to when he visited Liverpool.
