The surprising history of the Commodore 64, the best-selling home computer of the 1980s—the machine that taught the world that computing should be fun. The Commodore 64 (C64) is officially the best-selling desktop computer model of all time, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. It was also, from 1985 to 1993, the platform for which most video games were made. But although it sold at least twice as many units as other home computers of its time, such as the Apple II, ZX Spectrum, or Commodore Amiga, it is strangely forgotten in many computer histories. In Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64 Computer (MIT Press, 2024), Jesper Juul argues that the C64 was so popular because it was so versatile, a machine developers and users would reinvent again and again over the course of 40 years. First it was a serious computer, next a game computer, then a computer for showcasing technical brilliance (graphical demos using the machine in seemingly impossible ways), then a struggling competitor, and finally a retro device whose limitations are now charming. The C64, Juul shows, has been ignored by history because it was too much fun. Richly illustrated in full color, this book is the first in-depth examination of the C64's design and history, and the first to integrate US and European histories. Containing interviews with Commodore engineers as well as an insightful look at C64 games, music, and software, Too Much Fun will appeal to those who used a Commodore 64, those interested in the history of computing and video games and computational literacy, or just those who wish their technological devices would last longer. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design at the IU International University for Applied Science, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that feels simultaneously ubiquitous and also unknown. It was the best selling home computer in the 80's and is loved the world over by a large group of passionate fans. But outside of that group it feels largely forgotten in the annals of gaming history. This episode is a small step in correcting that. I'm joined by game design professor and author Jesper Juul to talk about his recently released book "Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64", which is a book that aims to shed more light on one of the most important computer systems in not only gaming history but also computer history. Jesper and I have a wonderful conversation about why this book is needed, what kinds of things can readers expect to find in the book and some of my personal favorite sections. Maybe we just had a little too much fun with this conversation as well.

Pile on top of that a bout of homelessness, societal and patriarchal expectations and you have one helluva story. Also? We all need a friend like Jen's Melissa – someone to give us a good kick in the pants and poke fun at our myriad quirks. Jen likes to say she's lived at least five lives from becoming a young single parent, homelessness, massively different career reinventions, and so much more. Jen shares with us her stories of trying to be the perfect mom, her journey through personal development and why she's a passionate feminist and life coach working to make paradigm shifts with the existing power structures at play in our society. And oh how we are fucked up as a society! We need more Jens! ARE YOU READY TO GO THERE? ____ JEN PAVICH is a feminist life coach and creator of the Unquiet Sisterhood Podcast. Jen helps women overcome their internalized patriarchy so they can start addressing external barriers.

As we’ve previously discussed, there are a lot of books about democracy filling book store and library shelves right now. Norman Eisen could have written a book in the vein of Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky’s How Democracies Die or David Frum’s Trumpocracy, but chose to go in a different direction. In The Last Palace: Europe's Turbulent Century in Five Lives and One Legendary House (Crown, 2018), he tells the story of the Petschek Palace, where he lived while serving as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic. The palace and its residents sought to defend liberal democracy throughout both world wars and the Cold War. The book, which one review calls a “love letter to liberal democracy,” also shows the ways in which ambassadors do the hard work of democracy abroad. Eisen describes the cycles of democracy that occurred as public support waxed and waned over the years. He says that we are now an inflection point that will determine support for liberal democracy moving forward. Ever the optimist, he’s confident that democracy will come through this seemingly dark period to triumph once again. Eisen is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings and chair of Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington. Prior to becoming ambassador, he advised the Obama administration on ethics — a job that earned him the unofficial title “ethics czar.” Democracy Works is created by the McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State and recorded at WPSU Penn State, central Pennsylvania’s NPR station.

Eric Gregory, author of, “All My Tomorrows” discusses the sudden, tragic death of his son, Christopher, and how it gave five people a second chance at life. Eric explains both the sorrow and the journey he has been on since that day when he received a phone call, just three days after seeing his 19-year-old son for the last time. Christopher had been rushed to the hospital with a brain aneurism. Shortly, Eric would be faced with the difficult question of whether to donate his son's organs. Fortunately, Christopher had told his family he was an organ donor, so Eric, through the fog and sorrow, did just that. “All My Tomorrows” was written as an effort to not only highlight Christopher's memory, but to also reveal the importance of organ donation. The story was turned into a book and will soon be a movie. Eric Gregory discusses the two things he prayed for while Christopher was laying in the hospital: One was that Christopher would be taken to heaven and two, he would be able to meet some of the people whose lives were impacted by Christopher's organ donation. Eric takes us through what it was like to finally sit down with the people who were saved by his son and hear each of their stories. On that day, the man who received Christopher's lungs, Jorge Bicardi, had been getting ready to go on a fishing trip thinking he was at the end. Earlier in the day he had been second on the recipient list and had missed a set of lungs that went to another recipient. Then came the unbelievable 11:45 p.m. call from his doctor that there was another set of lungs for him, Christopher's lungs. Nick Whittaker, who received Christopher's kidney and pancreas, had been sent home that day to die. He and his wife were at home calling family and friends when they got their call. Mack Jackson received Christopher's heart. Eric finally met Mack in 2015 and says, “When Mack took off his hat to pray, I was humbled… There's an interconnectedness between all of humanity, and we need to spend more time recognizing what we have in common. Love matters, life matters”. “All My Tomorrows” is a novel that tells the different stories of the five lives that were saved by his son's organ donation, and Eric states that, “this is a story about something good and decent.” Eric hopes his novel will inspire people to recognize the importance of organ donation and he goes on to state, “it comes down to how we treat each other as human beings, that we have a shared humanity. We have the same hearts the same blood you know, we have so much in common with each other that if we just take a minute we can recognize that it's easier to love people than it is to hate them.” Eric wants his son, Christopher, to be remembered as a good man, a good human being and hopes the movie does justice bringing recognition to all the doctors, the nurses, the organ donors and the whole organ donor community everywhere.

“It was that phone call that you get in the middle of the night.  The one that every parent dreads.  We got the call about 5 in the morning.  Christopher was taken to Tulane Emergency Medical Center.  They didn't know what was wrong.  He was non responsive.” Eric Gregory and his wife Grace rushed to be with their son.  19 year old Christopher, a tall, handsome, gym going guy, had suffered a brain aneurysm.  It was without warning. “When you get that news, suddenly the entire universe is turned inside out.  Everything is wrong. Everything is backwards,” Gregory says, “this dull ache sets into your heart and your soul.” Not long before this tragedy, the family had all been together at dinner and talk had turned to organ donation.  Christopher, his dad recalls, said if anything ever happened to him, he wanted his organs donated. When Christopher's life abruptly came to an end, his family saw that his wishes were fulfilled.  They thought maybe something positive could come out of tragedy.   As the Gregory's struggled to say goodbye to their son, to try to memorize every feature on his face, they were told, “There are planes flying all over tonight because of you.”  Christopher's organs were being rushed to patients in dire need.  He ended up saving five lives. “Throughout the United States about 124,000 people are waiting for life-saving organ transplants,” says Jacqueline Keidel from AZ Donor Network.  She says it is important for families to have conversations — like the Gregorys had — to express individual wishes.     Eventually, the Gregorys would meet the people whose lives were saved by Christopher's decision to donate his organs.  Including Jorge Barcardi, the Patriarch of the Barcardi family.   Gregory describes their first meeting. “We get to their hotel, we walked in, they turned and suddenly it was like in slow motion.  Everyone was crying and it was a very emotional moment,”  he goes on to say, “We didn't know their name was Barcardi, it didn't matter, it still doesn't.  It was clear the impact of Christopher's gift — it went way beyond.” Gregory is now working on a book about the week their son died.  The relationships that were formed in the hospital and the lives that were saved all over the country.   7 years and 5 months later, Christopher's “heart still beats, his eyes still see, his lungs draw breath and his love of humanity is still very much alive”.
