Chicken Lips Radio is retired (for now)

 Greetings,

On December 31, 2022, our podcast provider, Cyberears, will cease operations.

After careful consideration, Chicken Lips Radio has decided to retire (for now). There have been no new episodes in a long time, and we've not made plans to publish any additional ones for the foreseeable future.

We hope you enjoyed the 18 episodes of CLR. If we come back in the future, with a new podcast provider, we'll let everyone know through various social media channels.

Until next time, remember to Keep It Commodore!

Show 018 - Todd is the Master of Segues

Recorded 07Apr2019!!

In this episode, our team of intrepid Commodore enthusiasts continue to irritate people via mispronunciations of common graphics formats and the proper pluralization of the name of a popular brick building system.

    Acquisitions, Interests and Projects


  • Rob's Diagnostic Program
  • The MicroDoctor Diagnose64 (Todd accidentally called this the Doctor64 in the audio)
  • Earl's Pi1541
  • Playing 'Daisy Daisy' on 1541 Stepper Motors and then the same thing running on a Pi1541 (It's ridiculous that this works!!!)
  • And a link to a D64 of the above in case you want to run this on your own hardware. Rob has run it on a real 1541 many times with no ill effects, but it's clearly abusing the 1541 to some degree, so run at your own risk. :)

    Show 014 - The Lost Episode

    Editor's Note - This episode of the podcast was recorded in September of 2017, over a year before it was published here and to the feed. Most of the content is still highly relevant (and awesome, if we do say so ourselves). We have nicknamed this "The Lost Episode". Enjoy!
