Welcome to CoCoTALK! Episode 34, the first live CoCoTALK! we've had in about 3 weeks. Due to home internet issues, ogStevieStrow has been unable to live stream the show, the past few episodes have been pre-recorded.
Today Grant Leighty takes over as both the live stream host and the show host for episode 34.
The primary topics discussed were Discord, the new audio/video chat application most of the panel of CoCoTALK! use to communicate behind-the-scenes, as well as some of the differences between using various emulators and real hardware.
Next week we hope to be back to the regular program, thanks for sticking with us.

CoCoTALK! Episode 33 - Hardware Talk!
Today we talk about the must have, rare, unique, hard to find, and otherwise sought after and coveted hardware devices to have for your CoCo collection.
On the show: Bill Nobel, Bruce Moore, David Ladd, Grant Leighty, L. Curtis Boyle, Mark Overholser, Michael Brant, Nick Marentes, Paul Fiscarelli, Jim Brain from Retro Innovations, Steve Bjork, and Ron Delvaux.
We start off by hearing an update from Bruce Moore about Forest of Doom and the Contest winner.
We also get into new hardware solutions for the CoCo and even pontificate a bit about some wish list devices we'd like to see for the CoCo.
We also get to hear from the Forest of Doom contest Winner, Paul Fiscarelli, and hear a bit about a cool project he's working on, a disk image explorer that allows you to view and manipulate disk images on a modern PC.
