Ep 448: Tech Talk Time

There is a slight change to the content of CheapShow this week as Paul & Eli decide to wade into the unfamiliar waters of technology. It’s an episode that begins by enjoying the joys of the past and ends with a lament as to it’s embarrassing secrets. Gannon is trying to make “Tech Talk” a new feature on the podcast and begins his crusade by pitching two retro gaming consoles to Eli. One is a reasonably expensive well-known brand, and the other is a surprisingly cheap knock off, but which will come out as the champ? And keeping on the tech talk theme, Paul decides to extol the virtues of a long dead audio format… The Minidisc! The Cheap Chaps go on a whistle stop tour of the medium, with all its pros and cons, but the episode ends with an embarrassing/adorable reveal. It seems Paul has found a minidisc with his 17 year old self on it! What is on the disc? Why don’t you listen and find out!
