Ever wondered what the BBC News would sound like if it was read out by a 20 year old BBC Micro computer?
BBC Micro News is recordings of actual BBC Micros reading the RSS feed of the latest news from the BBC News website. It’s not an emulation. This is 20 year old technology hooked up to the internet.
There’s even a daily podcast with Big Ben chiming between the stories.
Genius.
