This time on the More Fun Talking Retro podcast, I'm joined by the excellent Neil from  @TheRetroCollective  YouTube channel! We chat about life as the luckiest man alive who runs a computer museum and has one of the best (ahem) YouTube channels on the internet. He's also just a really lovely bloke and has become a close personal friend who would do just about anything for me no matter how weird the request was. I've tested this. There is also an announcement at the end of this video about the future of the podcast. **NEW**MFMI Patreonpatreon.com/morefunmakingitMAIN CHANNEL!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreFunMakingItBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/morefunmakingit.bsky.socialKo-fi pagehttps://ko-fi.com/morefunmakingitAmazon Wishlisthttps://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/I5EGNMXIW5PC?ref_=wl_shareDiscord Channelhttps://discord.gg/5fmPMzUMore Fun Websitehttps://www.morefunmakingit.co.uk/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreFunMakingIt

This is Polymatt from the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@polymatt  and as well as being an amazing content creator he's also the nicest, friendliest and just all round lovely guy. Which is why he ended up talking to me on my podcast! This one is very much a YouTube heavy episode, but Matt is a great example of how to do this thing the right way and very much worth listening to.

This week I'm talking to a legend amongst vintage computer collectors. A man who has been at this for as long as this has been a thing to do. He has repaired more Commodore 64's than just about any person alive, and he still owns most of them! He's also a fantastic bloke and great fun to talk to. So settle in and listen to two old chums having a chat about the things they love.
