Thanks guys for all the time you and the invited guests have given to this project. I love hearing the stories from those that worked on our actual arcade games or were part of the scene in the 80’s. I have enjoyed every one of these podcasts and episode 7 will be next to be played on my Spotify.
The Ted Dabney Experience Podcast

The Ted Dabney Experience podcast talks with Kevin Hayes, former Managing Director of Atari Ireland. If you played an Atari arcade game in Europe during the proverbial Golden Age of video games, including popular third-party licences such as Cinematronics’ Dragon’s Lair, it bore Kevin’s fingerprints. We also discuss goat slaughter, littering and smoking the reefer.

If you've yet to dive in, here's a brief (16 minute) interview with us by Retro Asylum's Dean Swain to give you an idea what we are all about. Most of our shows run from at least an hour up to 100 minutes, but this one should pair well with a milky cup of tea and a Rennie.
Episode 11 is now available. Steve Golson on his days at GCC (Super Missile Attack) and Crazy Otto (aka Ms Pac-Man): The Ted Dabney Experience - Episode 11
Just updated our YouTube channel with all episodes, including our Retro Asylum podcast interview. Our listeners are heavily weighted toward RSS subs so the YT page gets neglected... but if you prefer it, here you go 
The Ted Dabney Experience Episode 14 - Q*Bert co-creator and Mad Planets artist Jeff Lee
Jeff Lee was the original video artist at D. Gottlieb & Company, designing the character Q*Bert and working on titles such as Krull, The Three Stooges and Kan Yabumoto's seminal Mad Planets.

TDE EP15 - Atari Programmer Bob Flanagan
Honing his coding skills producing games for the Apple II, Bob Flanagan joined Atari in 1984. It was a difficult time for the company and the industry as a whole, yet Bob still managed to work on some of their best loved releases, including Paperboy, Marble Madness and Gauntlet. Bob tells us about collaborating with the brilliant but demanding Mark Cerny, having Ed Logg as a mentor and his experience of designing the swashbuckling Skull & Crossbones.
Available to listen wherever you get your podcasts, or directly via our site (link above).

Episode 17 is up. Pinball audio engineer and Gottlieb alumni David Thiel.
David Thiel is perhaps best known for his pinball audio work on titles such as Tron: Legacy, Alien, Dialed In, Avatar and Family Guy, but he was also responsible for everything aural on all the Golden Age Gottlieb video classics (Reactor, Q*Bert, Mad Planets, Krull, The Three Stooges). From synth salesman to local rock star to Gottlieb and beyond (Commodore 64 and SID chip fans take note), David continues to produce outstanding interactive audio to this day.
The link above goes to our site, but you can listen via all the usual podcast catchers; Apple, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, etc.

TDE EP18 - Former Atari VP Steve Calfee
Steve has rarely gone on record about his time at Atari. His managerial role at the company’s coin-op division saw him channel the work of well-known programmers such as Rich Adam, Dennis Koble, Dave Theurer and Howard Delman into video arcade smash hits such as Canyon Bomber, Space Duel and Missile Command.

That logo does weird thing to my eyes when scrolling the screen.
