Smashing Bricks: A Retro Gaming Podcast

Smashing Bricks is a retro games podcast in which aging gamers look back on games from 20 or more years ago, with each episode following a replay of one spotlighted game. Host Eddie Inzauto and guests talk history and discuss the newfound appreciation—or perhaps disillusionment—resulting from these book-club-style revisitations. Crank the nostalgia dial up to 10 and get ready to start...Smashing Bricks!
