Atari Now Feb 2026

A lethargic, uninspired episode where you can tell we are over this.
Will this be the last one? What will we do next?

    No, I didn’t find it uninspired, as just one listener anyway — you’re shooting the breeze about Atari happenings. It’s fun. It’s not as if every upload has to be a mind-blowing masterpiece, right? I also think you might get a kick out of hearing it again in, say, twenty years or whatever, to see what you documented back in ’26.

    If you truly are “over it,” though, we ItVB fans will just have to understand. I mean, yes, we can selfishly want your shows to keep going for decades — but if you’re not having fun doing it anymore, then your listeners will have to show you respect. Time is valuable, after all, especially as we all get older.

    Having said all that, I guess it goes without saying that this one greedy listener, at least, hopes you continue in some capacity –as long as it’s fun for you.– I look forward to finding out what “Fill in the Blanks” entails (great title, in this context!), and the future Atari eight-bit episodes you hinted at.
