    448: Gadget Show Legend Jason Bradbury: Can Retro Gamers Stop a Rogue AI? - The Retro Hour EP448
    Sep 26 2024
    This week, we catch up with Jason Bradbury, long-time host of The Gadget Show and self-confessed retro tech lover. We reflect on 20 years of The Gadget Show and how the industry has changed in that time, his love for cassette tapes, gadgets that should have changed the world—but didn’t, and we hear all about his latest project, Ctrl A.I Delete, a thrilling new film where retro gamers are humanity’s last line of defence against a rogue AI!
