Show overview

A Trip Down Memory Card Lane has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 319 episodes. That works out to roughly 310 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 3m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Leisure show.

From the publisher

A Trip Down Memory Card Lane is a weekly video game history podcast that tells one story per episode, guided by the current week in gaming history. Hosted by brothers David Kassin and Robert Kassin, the show explores the stories behind the games we grew up with. It looks at the creative risks, technical limitations, business realities, and human decisions that shaped what players ultimately experienced. It’s a show for anyone who likes knowing how things were made, why certain paths were chosen, and what those moments can tell us about the industry as a whole. If that sounds like you, come take a thoughtful trip down Memory Card Lane with us each week.
