In episode two of the More Fun Talking Retro podcast, Lee sits down for a lively chat with the ever-so-cheeky Pete Golding, one-half of the dynamic duo behind Short Circuit. Pete, along with his good buddy Tony “HereBeDragons” Jewell, is the creative force responsible for organizing the much-loved Retro Festival events.
Every November, retro enthusiasts gather at the Museum of Computing in Cambridge to celebrate all things nostalgic and digital. And that’s not all! Pete excitedly shared news about their upcoming adventure, RetroFest, scheduled for May 31st and June 1st at the GWR STEAM museum in Swindon. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic event where retro fans can gather, geek out, and reminisce about classic computing and vintage gaming.
Pete’s passion and humor shine through as he discusses the joy of building a thriving retro community and bringing together like-minded folks who simply can’t get enough of those good ol’ days. As Pete says, “If you build it, they will come,” and they’re certainly proving that to be true.
Don’t miss out on this charming conversation—especially if you appreciate a healthy dose of nostalgia mixed with a lot of laughs!
