Could you please share some of the 'retrocomputing' podcasts you listen to as well as the app to manage your subscriptions?

Sounds fantastic and something I would love to check out.

This list is awesome!!

In addition to several of these, I listen to The Open Apple Podcast.

Looking at that list, I think you might like Arcade and Retro, a podcast from Ireland which is still a going concern. I know the makers but have no stake in it, pretty good show. - http://arcadeandretro.com/

Edit: Scratch that - they're already on the list, missed it the first time

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually just started listening to it yesterday and am enjoying it quite a bit.

I'm a big fan of the DOS nostalgia podcast: http://www.dosnostalgia.com/?cat=91 It only comes out once every few months, but the interviews and discussions are awesome if you're nostalgic for DOS & early home computing topics. The interview with Jim Leonard/Trixter on the early days of the PC is my favorite so far: http://www.dosnostalgia.com/?p=329 It's also a fun podcast because the host grew up in the Soviet Union so you get a different take on what was happening in DOS compared to the west.
