I finally got round to starting my new podcast. You can download from the banner above or subscribe via iTunes (my bandwith is a bit limited at the moment so download direct if you can).

I'm covering most formats from Spectrum to Arcade and will probably develop the format a little once I get back into the swing of things (suggestions have been noted for later!)

Episode 1 has some awesome music from Crime Fighters (arcade) so check it out.

The website for the podcast is at http://www.pcengine.co.uk/podcast if you want to keep up with the episodes from there.

Thanks - downloading now for later enjoyment (or trying to anyway).  By the by, what's the meaning of Wibble?  Is it a close relative of a Tribble?

[sunteam_paul]

It's more a reference to the wibbly wobbly sounds of early chip music. But the added Blackadder connection makes it cool.

A great, short, and sweet podcast.  Please make more!

Thanks for your comments.

Don't you think that Konami had one of the most awesome sound chips in their arcade machines? I love the sound of Crimefighters and their other stuff from that era.

Believe it or not, I'm more impressed with the sound they managed to squeeze out of NES/Famicom than the arcade hardware. Still, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy Crimefighters and arcade tunes.

Heck, I even like the minimalist tunes from MegaZone (which sounds downright archaic compared to the stuff you are referring to).

Paul, thanks for the awesome download "Ole Chap"."  I agree with the others, more!

Thanks again for the goodies.

I really enjoyed the old PC Engine City podcasts, so if the format of this is similar, I'm sure it'll be a home-run.
