This Month In Retronauts: July 2025 edition (Patreon)

after two jumbo-sized episodes packed with major announcements, this latest community podcast is relatively light in scope. Indeed, it might have gone under 90 minutes were it not for a 20-minute segment where Stuart Gipp and I (Diamond Feit) gush about the new Superman movie. I don't think we spoil anything but if you want to opt out, use the music queues below to guide your listening.

With Long Island Retro fast approaching, this might be my last missive for a few weeks! But I'll see you in Garden City and I'll be back with another community episode in August for sure.
