On the final day of the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter, at 83% funded with little under 5 hours left on the clock, I posted a message on twitter saying:
“If the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter funds, I solemnly vow to create at least two episodes of the #C64 Take-away before 2019 comes to an end. Think of it as crowdfunding the podcasts with all the proceeds going to professional symphonic recordings.”
And it did fund, so here we are. Episode 54. Whether or not you are one of the people who helped fund this because of my tweet – Thank you for being a part of this awesome community!

Welcome back. We waited for you and it was worth it.
Perhaps it is time for me to start listening from the beginning again.
Thanks for thinking of us!
Thanks for staying tuned, Wholly. You guys are the reason I keep coming back – even if it sometimes takes forever and a day between episodes.
I’ve been keeping checking here every now and then for the last 7 years hoping for a new episode, I forget to check, and find a new episode!! Many thanks, Andrew
