I recently interviewed Ed from the YouTube channel Space Invader One. While we discussed Ed's background and his channel, the focus of the interview is on the main topic Ed covers: Instructional videos about the software UnRAID that allows you to turn any PC into a Network Attached Storage, or "NAS" device. While at first, that might seem like something only IT people would use for backups, the retro gaming world is on the cusp of adopting NAS methods for rom storage and streaming - We're not quite there yet, but if you'd like to get ahead of the curve, definitely check this video out and start experimenting with an old PC and an old set of hard drives. More info and a link to a video version of this podcast are available here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-space-invader-one.html Space Invader One YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceinvaderOne Twitter:  https://twitter.com/spaceinvader__1 UnRAID:  https://unraid.net/ Please consider suppor
