About the show

The Retro Handhelds Podcast is your weekly hangout for everything portable gaming. From the latest emulator updates and hardware drops to the classics we grew up on, we cover it all—with zero pretension and plenty of "dad" energy. Join showrunners Stubbs and Rob the Retro Tech Dad, along with a rotating cast of community favorites, as they break down the news, review the newest devices, and argue about which buttons feel "mushy." Whether you're a tinker-happy emu-enthusiast or just looking for something to play on the couch, you’re welcome here. Expect: Honest reviews, emulation guides, streaming setups, and absolutely no shenanigans. (Okay, maybe SOME shenanigans).
