Sam Partee started out his love for tech/engineering by working on cars. After many y ears of working on cars, and even starting his own car stereo installation business, he decided that cards were finite and moved onto computers. He fell in love with the space, and the rest is history, filled with super computers, AI, distributed training, Redis and the lot. Outside of tech, he loves to take long hikes with his snowy husky.Sam and his team built a prior solution, an agent to solve bugs for you. They ran into a litany of problems, but eventually figured out that there was a dire need for an authorization for the activities that agents wanted to do on your behalf. Fast forward, and they are working with Anthropic to define these auth protocols.This is the creation story of Arcade.SponsorsIncogniNordProtectVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

We are kicking off 2026 with a giant episode! Joining me are friends of the show Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover Podcast and Mick Arcade from Nerd's Cant to help me rank game console controllers. The inspiration for this episode came from Bitmap Books, who was kind enough to send all of us a review copy of their recently released book Trigger Happy. Trigger Happy is a visual compendium of game controllers so we figured what better way to celebrate videogame controllers than to do a big ranking episode. We ranked 19 controllers from the NES up to the PS4/XB One/Switch. If the episode already wasn't about 3 hours long we may have considered ranking more. Anyway. Which controller is the highest ranked? Who has the hottest controller take? Listen to the episode and then share your thoughts on our rankings or share your own with us on our socials!

🎮 Rejugando: Panzer Dragoon – El vuelo que cambió la historia de SEGA Saturn Panzer Dragoon Saga es uno de esos juegos que no solo se recuerdan: se veneran. En Rejugando nos embarcamos en la parte final de nuestro especial dedicado a la trilogía original de SEGA Saturn, y hoy cerramos el círculo con el episodio más apasionado y profundo de la serie: Panzer Dragoon Saga, el JRPG más ambicioso y maldito de Team Andromeda. Volvemos Mike, Adrián Plaza, Ramón Méndez y RaffaValencia y juntos desgranamos por qué este título de 1998 es un auténtico milagro técnico y creativo: un RPG totalmente en 3D en tiempo real, con 4 CDs de contenido, doblaje completo con voces (algo que no tenían los grandes del género en la época), y un sistema de combate por turnos que conserva el ADN “shooter on-rails” de la saga para reinventarlo en algo único dentro del JRPG. Hablamos de su desarrollo imposible en un hardware endiablado como el de Saturn, de su lore inabarcable, de personajes secundarios con nombre, pasado y evolución, y de las primeras semillas de lo que acabaría siendo Shenmue, cuyo espíritu ya asomaba en su diseño de cámaras e interacción con NPCs. También nos detenemos en la banda sonora legendaria de Saori Kobayashi y Mariko Nanba, pieza clave del alma del juego, y en por qué el tiempo no ha podido con él: puede ser “duro” visualmente si lo miras con ojos modernos, pero a nivel de dirección, mundo, música y originalidad… sigue siendo magia pura. Este episodio no es solo un análisis: es un viaje al corazón de una época en la que los RPGs buscaban romper el molde, SEGA quería competir con los gigantes, y un equipo creativo se dejó la piel para crear un juego que, sencillamente, no debería existir… pero existe, y es historia del videojuego. Si te gustan los videojuegos de culto, los JRPGs que desafían al tiempo y las historias de desarrollo irrepetibles, acompáñanos en este vuelo final. Ponte los auriculares, súbete al dragón y disfruta del cierre que esta saga merece. 🐉 Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

What's up, dudes? It was a huge upset for Boston, but Knicks fans came out happy! Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas is with me to talk all about the 1985 Celtics v Knicks Christmas Day game! What began as a rout by the Celtics ended in utter defeat, as their tendency to be complacent showed up. The Boston Celtics had a twenty-five point lead at one point during the game. Starters Bird, Ainge, McHale, and DJ had some off shooting, but nailed most of their free throws. Of course, this creates a commanding lead as Ewing was held to just two points for a long while.Eventually, the Knicks came alive. The end of the third quarter saw them go on a phenomenal run, drastically outscoring Boston. Subsequently, they trounced Boston in the fourth to tie the game and force overtime. In the first, the Celtics held their own and kept it at a tie. The second overtime saw the Knicks defeat their foe 113-104.Larry Bird? Kind of. Kevin McHale? Sort of. Celtics bench? Nowhere to be found! So grab your jersey, head to the court, and play along to this episode on the 1985 Celtics v Knicks Christmas Day game!Lost Christmas PodcastFB: @LostChristmasPodcastTwitter: @LostChristmasP1IG: @lostchristmaspodcastGive us a buzz!

What's up, dudes? It's Christmas Eve! Yes, today begins Christmastide. To celebrate, I've got Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast and Art Kilmer from A Cozy Christmas with to talk about the Octavo Kalendas Ianuarii. The Proclamation of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a traditional chant that summarizes salvation history.Originally a part of the office of Prime, the chant was effectively abolished with the reform of Vatican II. That all changed in 1980 when Pope John Paul II re-introduced it prior to the Nativity of The Lord: Mass During the Night. While not in its traditional placement, it still ushered in Christmas grandly. One could even argue, it brought the Proclamation to more prominence.The chant runs through salvation history, beginning from the creation of the world. Then, it catalogues major events of the Judeo-Christian faith: the creation of man, the great flood, the sacrifice of Abraham, the exodus from Egypt. After listing David and Daniel, it segues into secular history with the Olympiad and the reign of Caesar Augustus. It ends on a triumphant note with the actual birth of Christ.Reciting tones? Yep. Historical Cliff's Notes? Uh huh. Elevated pitch for the mention of Christ's birth? Only if everyone has to genuflect as well! So grab your missal, put on your cassock and surplice, and pray along to this episode on the Kalenda: The Proclamation of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ!'Tis the PodcastFB: @tisthepodcastBlueSky: @tisthepodcast.bsky.socialIG: @tisthepodcastFB Group: Tis the Podcast GroupA Cozy ChristmasFB: @cozychristmaspodcastIG: @cozychristmaspodcastBlueSky: @cozychristmas.bsky.socialGive us a buzz!

At the restaurant, they realize they've given all their money away. Luckily, the rich lady with the dog sees them and pays for their dinner.Sick children? Check. Street urchins? Got ‘em.

What's up, dudes? ‘Tis the season to be shopping! Hopefully you found the toys for which you were looking. We definitely wouldn't want a Jingle All the Way situation.On Monday, December 12, 1983, Carol Ann Campbell, staff writer for the York Daily Record, published an article. In “The Quest for a Very Dashing Hulk of Plastic,” she interviews several retail store owners. They enumerate the problem of low orders and large sales booms. Poor sales the previous two holiday seasons resulted in manufacturer overproduction and post-Christmas toy surpluses. Consequently, parents are scouring their communities and nearby cities to find the one gift their children each want. From He-Man to My Little Pony, from Cabbage Patch Kids to Knight Rider, toys are selling out faster than stores can stock them. Some parents, however, are turning toward perennial board game favorites like Battleship. Kiddie Town? Check. K&K Toys? Got it. Toys ‘R' Us?

What's up, dudes? Is it BAB-ar or BaBAR? Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I try to figure it out. Yes, we're talking about “Babar and Father Christmas!”Arthur, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, the royal elephant children, are playing with their monkey pal, Zephir. Soon he tells them that in man's world, Father Christmas delivers presents to good boys and girls on Christmas Eve! After their amazement subsides, they write Father Christmas a wish list letter, but are disappointed when they don't get a reply. Ultimately, this leads to Babar's realization that the Elephants' Country needs to be included in Santa's regular route.The King goes to heroic lengths to make his children's' wishes come true. First, he goes to the city and befriends an artist's model. From there, he meets a geography professor with a map to Santa's workshop. Babar makes the trek up north, and he and Father Christmas become fast friends. Father Christmas even gets to take a much needed rest in the tropical climate of Babar's country. He also gifts Babar a magical flying suit to distribute presents on Christmas Eve.Saxophone-playing Rhino antagonists? Check. Barbarian Babar? In a joke. Elves who've never seen a flamingo? Only if they look like gnomes! So grab your crown, hop on a train to the city, and check your maps to this episode on “Babar and Father Christmas!”After LunchGive us a buzz!

Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and I dive into the wonderfully odd “Motown Merry Christmas!” From the Temptations to Smokey Robinson, this one celebrates Christmas the Motown way…with several non-Motown acts?!Hosted by Miami Vice's Philip Michael Thomas, the special begins with a version of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The Temptations then sell it hard with a rendition of “White Christmas” à la The Drifters. After the Pointer Sisters nail “Santa Claus is Comin' to Town,” Santa Redd Foxx and elf Marsha Warfield provide some comedy. Following that, Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love sing a Christmas medley with awkward transitions between each song. They kill it so hard, though! Great stuff!Desiree Coleman, Smokey Robinson, and Natalie Cole wow the audience with soulful carols. Of course, the Temptations sing “Silent Night.” There's more comedy bits with Foxx and Warfield, then Run DMC and Stephanie Mills get turns to provide holiday music. Carrie McDowell, Ronnie, Darlene, and the whole crew sing us out!Tubbs? Check. Roz? Of course. Fred Sanford? Only if he can be Santa!

She desperately longs for one final family Christmas.Huffner tracks down the youngest first. He is now a country singer, and vaguely knows the whereabouts of his sister.

Today we're talking the Toys “R” Us Christmas Dream Book 1985!Toys “R” Us goes all the way back to 1948, when Charles Lazarus opened a little Washington, D.C. shop called Children's Bargain Town, selling baby furniture. Eventually he pivoted from cribs and strollers to playthings. In 1957, Lazarus opened the first store under the Toys “R” Us name, built like a supermarket for toys—long aisles, stacked shelves, self-service shopping, and wall-to-wall kids' stuff. This book provides a huge variety of toys. From ThunderCats to Cabbage Patch Kids, there's something for everyone. The My Little Pony Dream Castle provided hours of fun, and Snake Mountain gave the evil warriors a lair to lure Eternian Heroes.

What's up, dudes? You never knew Santa had a donkey? Well, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps did. In fact, they're here with me to talk all about the Rankin Bass special “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey!”Nestor was born with abnormally long ears. His owner mistreated him, and the other animals teased him. One night when Roman soldiers came to the stable to buy donkeys, they dismiss Nestor and take all the other donkeys for free. Enraged, Olaf casts Nestor out into the frigid cold. Nestor's mother finds him and shields from the harsh weather with her own body, freezing to death in the process.The next day, Nestor meets a cherub named Tilly, who says that they need to travel to Bethlehem. When they reach the outskirts of the town, Tilly returns to Heaven, instructing Nestor to wait. When Mary and Joseph are expecting Jesus, they take Nestor because of his "gentle eyes", but are caught in a sandstorm. In the midst of the storm, Nestor hears Tilly's voice, but recognizes it as his mother's. She tells him to follow the voices of the angels. Nestor guides Mary and Joseph through the storm, while wrapping Mary in his ears to keep her warm. They arrive in Bethlehem, where Nestor finds the stable where Mary gives birth to Jesus. Nestor heads back home where he is hailed as hero by Olaf and the other animals. Santa? Check. The Holy Family? Yep. Spieltoe? Never thought Santa had a pack mule!
