5. Retronauts
If you’re a long-time gamer with a love of retro titles, Retronauts is definitely the podcast for you. Featuring almost 150 full-length episodes so far, along with a bunch of mini bonus episodes, this podcast takes an in-depth, entertaining look at blasts from the past, while not being afraid to call out some of those old games for their flaws and failings.
While many people tend to wear of pair of rose-tinted glasses when looking at the games of their youth, the hosts of Retronauts keep it real with their honest analysis of so-called ‘classics’, while also comparing and contrasting older games and trends with the modern gaming scene.
Every episode is drenched with humour, making Retronauts really fun and easy to listen to, while also being highly informative. The hosts have an almost encyclopaedia-like knowledge of old games and share plenty of wisdom in each episode.
So, if you love to learn about game history and want to take a trip back in time to the days of arcades and 16-bit platformers, this is a great podcast to choose.
