This year, we had the chance to attend and work the 2026 Columbia Retro Game Convention, where we also hosted a special live panel with none other than John Riggs. During the panel, we sat down for a fun, wide-ranging conversation covering retro gaming, the future of computing, YouTube, nostalgia, breakfast cereal, and plenty of unexpected detours along the way. We also opened the floor to audience questions, which made for an even more entertaining and unpredictable discussion. If you’re a fan of retro games, gaming culture, tech talk, and off-the-wall conversations, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Check out this special live interview from the Wired Nerdy podcast.
