ChinnyVision arrives in podcast form. So less”Vision” and more ”Audio”. This irregular podcast aims to speak to users about their experiences and computer collections.The aim is document the experiences of the day to day users and their collections from buying budget games in the newsagents to repairing VIC 20‘s in the 21st century. Don‘t expect lots of big names or coders.It‘s people like you sharing their experiences in this remarkably low octane podcast where people remember when ‘it was all fields around here‘.

Richard Shaw-Wright is a sports journalist and old computer fan. His journey started with a CPC 464 and has led, via holiday visits to the top floor of The Friary Shopping Centre, to a career covering all manner of sports on the radio.

He also has a vast retro hoard that also includes C16's, Vic 20's, Pets and even some Amstrad and Sinclair machines.

Ep 3 - The XboxVision (Ross Taylor)
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Welcome to the ChinnyVision podcast, the occasional trip into the realms of the dusty computer shops of yesteryear.
Todays guest is Ross Taylor, aka TheXboxVision. I first came across Ross's digital face nearly 20 years ago on a gaming forum run by an ex Amiga Power staffer, and back when I had a current console we used to get beaten by 8 year olds at Halo. I know him as a gaming guru, Amiga fan and as someone who worked at Game. But where did it all begin for him?
