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.

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!
