This Month In Retronauts: November 2023 edition (Patreon)

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Whether you live in the United States or not, I (Diamond Feit) hope you ate well this weekend. Our latest community podcast is ready to serve as background listening as you do dishes, reheat leftovers, or begin your holiday shopping.

Joining me this month is Jess O'Brien to talk about the latest retro news and releases, share what we've been playing/watching lately, and read your comments and feedback. Also, given our shared American heritage, we do "talk turkey" so to speak; you'll want to have a pen and paper handy to write down Jess' recipe for her signature Thanksgiving dish! 

Don't forget to answer our latest community question in the comments below. Also, since I live in a nation where Thanksgiving does not exist, any images of your meal would be most welcome as I live vicariously through others' food pics. Specific media mentioned in this episode include:
