I'm super excited to show you the new regular teaser format for The ЯRetro Show as we cruise along in KITT, whilst he and Devon tell us what's on the show today. And the show itself is quite a ride too!

Here's a little raw footage from KITT's photo shoot when my sweating was for once not caused by the heat! I had my finger on the Turbo Boost button just in case though... And KITT's commentary is live as-it-happened.

We've got a delightful update just for our supporter family direct from the Retro Recipes studio! We're overjoyed to introduce the newest and tiniest member of our Retro family, because Babyfractic is here!
Both Ladyfractic and the latest addition are doing wonderfully. Dad is in awe and no...
2023-08-25 22:26:10 +0000 UTC View PostWe just had to share this with you. Totally impromptu during testing and training of the AI KITT it offered to sing a lullaby to Babyfractic. When I first heard what it came up with, I nearly choked and genuinely had tears 😭 Needless to say the testing is going well 😅

Happy weekend all! First of all to quote Douglas Adams, DON'T PANIC! Nothing much has changed at our Patreon / YouTube Channel Memberships other than a small branding refresh. With Patreon Lens going away I'm aiming to share an additional four backstage videos a month on average as I go about var...

It's time for another major video for your early access viewing pleasure!
Along with giving you an update and sneak peek at the A.I. KITT that's being worked on, KITT is rocking new dash TVs, a Sound FX Scanner, New Rims, as well as getting a Wash & Wax ahead of the Big End Reveal! ...
2023-08-17 02:36:48 +0000 UTC View PostAs mentioned in the last post, these intros featuring KITT will be used for most episodes, even if he's talking about a Phoenix 256K or ZX Spectrum! I think it will work really well for the overall channel vibe, and I hope you enjoy this little peek behind the green curtain. I've marked it as spo...

Please enjoy a brand spankin' new episode of The ЯRetro Show featuring so much stuff it would exceed the character limit here if I wrote all about it, so all we can say is thank you for joining us on this one and we hope you love it as much as we loved making it for you!
Update 2: Call me a Perifectionist if you like (hey I heard that!) but I have improved the voiceover further. For those interested, here's how:
1. I recorded a performance of the voiceover doing my best tribute to the original Wilton Knight actor, the late grea...

I was going to put out something else this week but this item came in and I just had to share a little video about it.
You see I’ve been investigating for a while now how to make using a mobile phone more enjoyable again. I don’t know about you but I’ve found myself a bit of a slave ...

I'm still working on the next couple of videos and hope to share one with you by tomorrow, but in the meantime - exciting news everyone! Elaine from PCBWay will be stopping by the Retro Recipes kitchen next week and we're going to film a little Q&A. This may just be for supporters or may be r...

Please enjoy a whopping 37 minutes of The ЯRetro Show crafted for your viewing pleasure. We really enjoyed this one and I can't believe how much is packed into it. Let us know what you think, and thank you for your ongoing support! 👍🕹️
I'm really excited to bring you part 2 of the journey buying that vandalised KITT and making it our own. Please enjoy... hopefully at least half as much as I did making it over several weeks!

Very difficult update to write here, but Ozzyfractic was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple of months ago, and at nearly 14 years old his list of ailments has been steadily increasing since then. He was a champion till the very end, giving us an extra 2 happy weeks when we thought it was all ove...

In your early access this time around, let me Ladyfractic take you onto a trip through the Transparent Tech Trend, where games consoles, phones, radios, cassettes, even cars were crystal clear - but is The Clear Craze back?
As before, here at no charge to you is the first half of the new issue of ZZAP! 64 magazine, as my treat to you.

You've heard of THEC64 Mini and THEA500 Mini, now we wanted you to be the very first to know about our new Mini product. ☺️
Get all the details, and much more of the usual fun in our monthly serving of the delicious retro tech banquet that is The ЯRetro Show!
Hello Fracteam chip dippers and brick builders! Please join me, Ladyfractic, on another solo(ish) video with this unique Lego-style brick build from the company Pantasy Bricks.
This awesome kit combines the love of retro PC computers (1990s was still 30 years ago) and anime RPG video ...

I've been teasing this on the Lens for a little while but finally the stars and cars have aligned (and by stars I mean the DMV) and the time is right to start sharing videos about this ongoing project. I hope you love (KI)it!
You will remember Basil the dog's reaction to whenever we say "The ЯRetro Showwww!" on that titular monthly show. Well his own Morgan has now recorded Basil watching Basil watching the show!
I'll show some clips from this in the next The ЯRetro Show but just for you here'...

Can't believe we've been doing this show for quarter of a century! Erm, oh wait... sorry it's episode 25 not 25 years. But don't switch off, this one is a lot of fun and we're very lucky to get to make it and release it early to you!
I filmed this with my sister Faithyfractic over Christmas intending it to just be a couple of 1 minute Shorts, but it ended up so funny that I decided to promote it to a Quick Bytes. I hope you get a laugh out of the silliness too!
Coming to you a little later than I planned due to some boring tech issues, we're back to the classic ЯR style content with a deep dive exploration of the brand new J-CIA and J-CPU chips that were the missing link in finally creating a 100% new Chipset-based Commodore 64! Woohoo!
