Retroist Saturday Supercade Podcast
Welcome to the Retroist Saturday Supercade Podcast, the ultimate destination for fans of both cartoons and video games!
In this week's episode, we're diving deep into the nostalgic treasure trove that is the CBS early 1980s Saturday Morning Masterpiece, "Saturday Supercade". Picture this: a Saturday morning in 1983, a bowl of cereal in hand, and the excitement of tuning in to watch your favorite video game characters come to life on the small screen. This podcast is a celebration of that magical time.
We'll explore all the show segments that made "Saturday Supercade" a Saturday morning sensation: Frogger, Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, Donkey Kong Jr, Pitfall Harry, Space Ace, and Kangaroo. Get ready to journey through the pixelated adventures of these beloved characters, reliving the thrill of their animated escapades.
But that's not all. I've prepared some surprises for you, from vintage commercials that will transport you back in time to unexpected gems that will add an extra layer of excitement to your nostalgia trip.

Show Notes
Trying to remember some details about when I recorded this show. This might have been the episode where I tried to use a condenser mic rather than the old USB headset I used for my first episode. Still, the sound quality is mediocre.
I do remember liking the format for this show. Taking a look at the various shows as if journeying through them. I was still trying to find out what the show was like.
Peachy was not around to produce audio at this point, so originally this had different audio at the start of the show. I would later replace it with the regular audio pieces that have become fairly standard.
I think this is the first episode where I used my intro for the show. Although it was originally slightly different. I remember editing it together after someone emailed me after the first show that it was odd not to have one.
Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
