The Atari 7800 Homebrew Podcast
New Games for a Classic Console
Janitor Sean
Show overview
The Atari 7800 Homebrew Podcast has been publishing since 2016, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 58 episodes. That works out to roughly 65 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 48 min and 1h 22m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Games & Hobbies show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 26 episodes published. Published by Janitor Sean.
From the publisher
The setup thingy is asking me for a podcast description. This is a podcast. It's about homebrews on the Atari 7800. What more d'ya need?
