Retro Dodo Podcast

Retro Dodo started as a website covering handheld emulation, retro consoles, and the growing market for modern hardware that plays old games, and the podcast carries that same beat into audio form. Hosted by the Retro Dodo editorial team out of the UK, episodes pull from what the site is actively writing about during the week, which means a lot of coverage of new flashcarts, Anbernic and Miyoo handhelds, FPGA cores, OLED mods, and the legal grey zones around ROM preservation. The hosts are collectors first and journalists second, so reviews of new clone consoles tend to focus on the build quality, screen, and emulation accuracy rather than just specs on a press release. Interviews show up regularly: developers behind retro re-releases, modders who built popular tools, and people running small companies producing reproduction cartridges or replacement shells. The tone is casual and a bit nerdy in the best way, with hosts trading stories about flea market finds and broken consoles they refuse to throw out. Episodes run about an hour. For anyone deep into the handheld emulation scene or anyone who still keeps a CRT in the closet, this is a useful and frequently funny weekly check-in on a corner of the hobby that keeps getting bigger.
