Taking the Mixx Revival 55 Record Player for a Spin

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Jonathan H. Liu |Ken Denmead |Michael Knight |Mariana Ruiz

When I was a kid, we had two record players. One was my sister’s Fisher Price record player (circa 1978) that served as its own carrying case. While it was capable of playing full-size records, we were only allowed to use it for our 45s. I remember having several of those book-and-record sets (“when you hear this sound—*briiiing*—turn the page!”).

My kids have collected things like the little plastic stands inside pizza boxes, little animal eraser puzzles, acorns, and late slips from school.
Announcing the 2024 GeekDad Game of the Year

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Jonathan H. Liu

This year’s GeekDad Game of the Year timeline was a little different, as I mentioned when we announced our 2024 Finalists, but the process is still the same.
