by Stubbs, The Retro Tech Dad, RH Media Team

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).

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I just discovered this podcast and can’t stop listening! I appreciate how the hosts and guest talk like “normal” people. This show isn’t “played down”or following a specific language barrier, It’s incredibly casual. The content is incredibly informative for all levels of retro gamers!! Needless to say, I’ll be subscribing and waiting patiently for new episodes. Cheers guys, thanks for being great!

Very reliable, I love listening to them when I get a chance. If you want accurate information, this is the place.

Coen Snell · Jan 2026

I use this to get my news up do date and they do great posting frequently and having great information on the retro handheld news and the current situation.

ATechNerd125 · Nov 2025

Love the concept of this podcast, but for a show directed at gamers with kids you would think it would be something you could listen to with kids in the car. Unfortunately, the amount of f-bombs thrown around makes that nearly impossible when you have small kids who repeat everything they hear.
