The Episodes attorney Judge Eyes Judgement Judgment lawyer Love Your Lawyer Day Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Tears of Themis vgm
Every first Friday of November is “Love Your Lawyer”, a day dedicated to all the civil servants in suits that argue or defend for our rights to life, liberty, and property. It’s a time to show an appreciation for their work in and out of the courtroom, preparing and filing the paperwork, researching for precedence and evidence, and trying to sway the judge and jury in their favor. Whether you love them or despise them, lawyer are necessary in upholding our rights and privileges in accordance to the law.
This week, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have lawyers: a young defense attorney just hired, a former lawyer turned private investigator, and a female attorney drawn into a secret organization. We’ve also got remixes and arrangements with each track in the episode.
Now, let’s all rise in the courtroom as the judge walks and brings the court in session…

KVGM “The Last Wave” (11/2/25)
Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock. A biweekly VGM podcast bringing you the jammiest video game music from all your favorite composers and consoles. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.
Happy Post-Halloween and it’s somehow already November but that’s okay, that’s alright, we’re still here, the world is still burning, but we’re still churning (see what I did there) out the jams. We’re leaning heavy on the PS4 this week but that’s okay but we’re dealing straight jams (and sometimes gentle jammers).

A biweekly VGM podcast bringing you the jammiest video game music from all your favorite composers and consoles. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.
We lean heavy into the PC this week with a couple of nostalgic (for some) simulation games from the late 90s/early 00s but also, a heavy dose of adult-orientated games for the moms and dads who need a break. Plus horse racing, fishing, breakout, bombs, and of course, Might and Magic, the Japan exclusive sequel.

Episode 194: On Stage Now – CG5
The Episodes CG5 vgm
It’s that time again for our… wait a minute. The end of the month is not here. Why? Because October 31st, Halloween, falls on a Friday, so I’ve decided to switch places so that I can do a proper Friday episode for Halloween. For this week, we’ve got our special episode of “On Stage Now”, featuring CG5.
CG5 (real name Charlie Green) is a musical talent who sings, produces, and composes. While most of his works are covers and remixes of video game music, he also creates, with a little help from some collabs, original music inspired by video games. He was first featured in “Episode 36: Fall has arrived!”, with his remix of “Weird Autumn” with GameChops, and recently in “Episode 184: That Darn Cat (International Cat Day)”, singing an original composition for “Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3” titled “Sleep Well”. Currently, CG5 is traveling globally for his “Too Many Songs” Tour.
Prepare to be impressed and mystified by the works of CG5…

Episode 193: Team Fortress 2
The Episodes Team Fortress 2 vgm
Today’s episode is a celebration of Team Fortress 2, released on October 10, 2007. It was a part of The Orange Box, which included Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2 of HL2, and Portal. It was later ported to the Sony PlayStation 3 and later made as a standalone the following year for Microsoft Windows. Three years later, Team Fortress 2 became free-to-play.
You’ll play as one of nine classes for either team RED or BLU, competing against the other team to bring the intelligence briefcase, capture the control point, or move or prevent the payload from reaching point B. Some classes, such as the Soldier, Heavy, and Pyro, dealt damage, while other classes provided support, such as the Engineer and the Medic. Some classes were specialized, like the Scout, the Sniper, and Spy.
We’ll be playing several tracks from the game and their matching remixes. There’s also a small tribute to the Soldier’s VA, Rick May.
“Mission begins in sixty seconds…”
Team Fortress 2 Official Soundtrack (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Bandcamp, Deezer)
Track Listing
All original tracks were composed by Mike Morasky and performed by the Valve Studio Orchestra
Intro: “Main Theme” / “Team Fortress 2”
BGM: “Playing With Danger”
“Rocket Jump Waltz”
“[TF2 Remix] SharaX – Rocket Jump Waltz” – remixed by SharaX

Episode 126 – Human Entertainment: The Musical History
Companies Human Entertainment Patreon Track VGM Human HumanEnt HumanEntertainment
Today on XVGM Radio, we’re taking a look (and listen) to the audio history of Human Entertainment. Formed via a merger between Try Co. Ltd. and Communicate Inc in 1987, Human Entertainment was initially called Sonata, mostly handling ports from larger developers such as Konami and Bandai. After two years of this, 1989 saw the name change to Human Entertainment, where the company began creating their own IPs. Learn about how they created a development school which is where many of their development staff came from, their bankruptcy in 1999, and where many of their more notable staff members ended up continuing on the tradition of making weird, wacky games. Justin and Mike as the question: is a Human Sports Festival played with Humans as the balls? With a surprising mix of both wavetable tunes and redbook audio, there’s a bunch of variety in musical genres to choose from with Human Entertainment and it’s ONLY on XVGM Radio!

Episode 192: I’ll See You Later, Eddie…
The Episodes Batman: Arkham Knight cancer Star Wars - The Old Republic Star Wars: Battlefront 2 vgm
Last week, I went to a meet-up being organized by one of my high school classmates, Eduardo. He wanted to have a gathering with family and friends before he started treatment for his cancer. It was a lively time at the pizza place, as people talked to each other and took selfies with their mobile devices. Overall, he was happy to see everyone who could attend, taking control of his life and dealing with cancer on his terms.
For this week’s episode, I’ve decided to do a sort of dedication to him by playing tracks from his favorite video games: an uneasy peace between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the aftermath of the Death Star’s second destruction, and a Dark Knight seeking to save Gotham from Scarecrow. We’ve also got covers, remixes, and mashups to follow each track.
Enjoy these tracks as I explain their significance to Eddie. Oh, and Eddie, I’ll see you next time…

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Channel F: "One for Wyatt"
In this very special edition of Nerd Noise Radio Channel F, St. John's 7yr old son, St. Wyatt makes his Nerd Noise Radio debut (at least, in all the ways that matter). This episode will be a miniature of the Channel 2 format - with only one track! Circumstances: St. John *MEANT* to include a track from one of Wyatt's iPad games into the mixtape of C1E98: "Mishmash Monday - vol. 17", but realized way too late into that episode's production that he had completely spaced it off. He briefly considered going back into the mixtape and the voice track and retroactively adding the track. But then decided to instead use the occasion of his complete air-headedness to "turn lemons into lemonade" and and introduce Wyatt into the show - something that had been in the back of St. John's mind since the day Wyatt was born. While Wyatt has yet to master the art of radio communication (I hope everyone likes "salad"), this F-isode absolutely melts my heart!....I hope it will you too! Lastly, I actually really like this track....and once again, I hope you will too! Given St. John's penchant for "ironically, humorously literal titles", this one is aptly named: "One for Wyatt!"

Episode 191: On Stage Now – Vincent Moretto
The Episodes vgm Vincent Moretto
The air is getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and that means September is almost over. That also means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a VGM cover or remix musician or group with some info and then play their repertoire of works.
This month’s musician is Vincent Moretto, a guitarist and producer from France. He blends metal, cyberpunk, and video games in a way that pushes the volume to 11 and over. His videos of covers and remixes span over 10 years. Vincent has done a live performance during a gamescom event in 2016. He’s been featured in previous episodes (Ep 41, Ep 164, and Ep 186, Ep 190).
This may seem like a small summary, but his list of works speak for themselves.

Episode 190: Arrrrrrr! (International Talk Like A Pirate Day)
The Episodes Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag International Talk Like a Pirate Day Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii pirate The Secret of Monkey Island vgm
Ahoy mates! It’s time to weigh anchor and set sail as we celebrate “International Talk Like a Pirate Day”, on September 19th.
Nothing too complicated, other than tiring your wind pipes. This day was created by two friends who, in the midst of shouting words of encouragement while playing racquetball, starting talking to each other as pirates. They decided to create a special day (on one of their ex-wife’s birthday) to speak with a Western Country accent, with a few “Arr”s and “Aye”s thrown in for measure. When they mentioned this special day to a popular humor columnist, who then published it in a newspaper, suddenly people started to talk like pirates on that day. It’s now a popular day for all to celebrate.
For this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have pirates: a promising lad who wishes to be a pirate, a privateer-turned-pirate who then becomes an assassin, and a former Yakuza member who decides to crew a bunch of pirates. Of course, we got covers and remixes to go along with these original tracks.
Prepare yourself and your sea legs for a journey across the seas of melody…

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - C1E10: Mishmash Monday - vol. 1 (orig. rel. 05/22/17)
2025 Rerun Notes: In commemoration of this month release of the last-ever Mishmash Monday on Channel 1, I thought I'd rerun the first two installments of the series - both from all the way back in 2017 (Season 1 of the show). Therefore, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" and blah blah blah (especially on C1E10, the earlier of the two releases). Though this rerun is "officially" and "canonically" the first "Mishmash Monday" (free play) episode in Nerd Noise Radio history, it is really "Mishmash Monday in name only" as it wasn't truly a free play. Instead, it was designed with a very specific purpose and with each track housing a very specific meaning. Though I explain and elaborate fully in a 2019 special expanded rebroadcast of this episode we called "Chandlerfest", which I'll link to below, for now, the tl;dr is that this mixtape was actually made in commemoration for a friend who died entirely too young in Dec 2016, and whose absence we still feel regularly from here in 2025. When I got the news, I left work, went home, and turned my grief into tortured energy, and made this mixtape, with the design philosophy being to use the tracks and the particular arch of the track order to tell the story of the emotions of those of us left behind in his wake as we processed the news of his departure. With this being a 2017 episode, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" (especially episodes from the first half of 2017, which were even worse than those from the second half.) But content-wise, this early outing remains one of the most important episodes of Nerd Noise Radio....ever. Here's a link to Chandlerfest for anyone who wants to know more: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest Otherwise, enjoy! Original 2017 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is Episode 10 for Mishmash Monday, May 22nd, 2017 on a program we're calling "Mishmash Monday vol. 1"
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Chris Chandler.

If you wish to subscribe to the Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 Music block podcast, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:

Episode 189: Steam Has Crashed!
The Episodes Black Myth: Wukong Counter Strike 1.6 Cyberpunk 2077 Steam vgm
Sometimes a video game is so popular and hyped-up that it may cause the servers to crash: too many people trying to buy and too many players online at the same time. It’s frustrating, testing a player’s patience, taxing a computer’s CPU, and straining the Internet lines. The recent release of “Hollow Knight: Silksong” is proof of this
Steam, one of the popular software distribution clients, has had its share of moments when their servers crashed. It’s not a bad thing; it just means their IT engineers and architects are working overtime.
This week, in lieu of National Video Games Day, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that crashed Steam: a multiplayer co-op game between Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, a futuristic punk having dual personalities, and a destined monkey man seeking the relics of Sun Wukong. Following each track will be its cover or remix.
Enjoy these tracks… so long as they don’t crash the player.
“Counter Strike: Theme Song” – [Counter Strike 1.6] – composed by Zak Belica
“Counter Strike 1.6 – Main Theme REMIX” – remixed by BoullDeer
“The Rebel Path” – [Cyberpunk 2077] – composed by Marcin Przybylowicz, P.T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan
“The Rebel Path (Cello Version)” – composed by Marcin Przybylowicz, P.T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan
“Celestial Symphony” – [Black Myth: Wukong] – composed by 8082 Audio
“Black Myth: Wukong – Celestial Symphony – Metal Version” – covered by Lame Genie
Episode 65 - Revenge on the Green!
We’re headed back to the fairway for more golf game greatness! Listen to this one and hear from professional golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, and Chi-Chi Rodríguez! Or at least some video games that they got paid to endorse.

Episode 188: River City Girls
The Episodes Kunio-kun River City Girls vgm
Today we are celebrating the Japanese release of River City Girls!
If you played River City Ransom on the Nintendo Entertainment System, then you’ll enjoy this beat’em up brawler as it follows two friends, Kyoko and Misako, travelling through the city find their boyfriends, Kunio and Riki. It’s a simple matter of smashing the buttons to beat down your enemies and bosses, but you can also learn some new moves that will give you an advantage. You can also eat food to increase your stats, just like in RCR. The graphics may be pixelated but the aesthetics are updated and detailed. And man, that soundtracks bangs!
We’ll be listening to several tracks from the game, along with some covers and arrangements.
Stretch your arms and legs and crack your knuckles, as you prepare to fight your way from the classroom to the office room!

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - C1E16: Mishmash Monday - vol. 2 (orig. rel. 10/09/17)
2025 Rerun Notes: In commemoration of this month release of the last-ever Mishmash Monday on Channel 1, I thought I'd rerun the first two installments of the series - both from all the way back in 2017 (Season 1 of the show). Therefore, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" and blah blah blah (especially on C1E10, the earlier of the two releases). Though today's rerun is officially, canonically the "second" Mishmash Monday, it's actually the first "for real" Mishmash Monday. The first "actual free play episode". Not that it was produced before C1E10, but released later, but that C1E10 was a "Mishmash Monday" in name only, and was definitely not a true free play. I'll explain in that episode's rerun. But for now, numbers and dates aside, this was our first actual "free play" episode in NNR history. And even though the production quality is so absolutely horrible, I still regard this episode as an excellent collection of music! Easily in our top 50% of show history, and perhaps even top 25%. So, enjoy! Original 2017 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is Episode 16 for Mishmash Monday, October 9th, 2017 on a program we're calling "Mishmash Monday - vol. 2".

If you wish to subscribe to the Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 Music block podcast, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:

[Ch F] MAKRANA Soundtrack - feat. Matt Miller of Chronarian Games
Today's "F-isode" is the soundtrack to the upcoming indie game "MAKRANA" designed, developed, and scored by Matt Miller of Des Moines-based Chronarian Games. Matt sits in with St. John at Nerd Noise Studios for a Channel 2-style in-person conversation to discuss the soundtrack and various other matters of varying degrees of relevance. ;-)
All tracks from the game MAKRANA, an upcoming game by Chronarian Games for PS5, XBSX and probably other platforms as well. All tracks composed, arranged, and performed by Matt Miller.
Tracklist
A1) "Production Disclaimer" Earcatcher (St. John on the now NNR-customary $400 Shure SM7B Mic) - 00:00:00
A2) "Episode Opener" Earcatcher (St. John on the now long-deprecated $100 AudioTechnica AT2020 Mic which was the mic St. John used on NNR from 2017-2022) - 00:00:59
01) "ZENITH" (game and track titles all capitalized for stylistic purposes by developer) a) Music - 00:01:12 b) Discussion and Top-of-Show Business (St. John and Matt sharing a single AT2020) - 00:04:50
02) "OBSERVE" a) Music - 00:29:39 b) Discussion (all voice recordings from here on out using that same single AT2020) - 00:33:27
03) "REFLECT" a) Music - 00:47:59 b) Discussion (our shortest conversation of the episode by far!) - 00:51:47
04) "QUADRANT" a) Music - 00:59:04 b) Discussion - 01:03:21
05) "DEVIATE" a) Music - 01:28:28 b) Discussion and End-of-Show Business - 01:33:51 B1) Outtakes - 02:04:08
Total Episode Runtime: 02:10:02
Matt and Chronarian Games can be found at www.chronariangames.com as well as on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, and X.
Special Thanks to Erin Miller, Nora Miller, and Jodee Wedgeworth (aka "St. Jodee") for making this recording session / episode possible.
Produced in a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux on a 2023-model Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop (docked in a "desktop" context) using the aforementioned mics, a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface, and in the case of the SM7B, a Cloudlifter in-line signal booster. No alcohol was involved in this recording - however, I do think sleep deprivation may have been a factor! ;-) :-D
Enjoy!!

Capcom Companies Game/Franshise Mega Man Patreon Track VGM MegaMan
What’s faster than the speed of light? Mega Man Battle & Chase’s North American release date, that’s what!

Rev up those engines while you hear the XVGM Radio boys chat about their time playing the game. Buckle up for exciting discussion about the game as well as reviewing interviews with Keiji Inafune and some of the illustration artists taken from the Mega Man Official Complete Works book!

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - NERD NOISE CROSSOVERS: “C1E64: ThreeFer Thursday” (orig rel. 05/12/22)
2025 Rerun Notes: A very unique episode in show history, the only time we ever did a "ThreeFer". It's a bit of a long episode, and this was back when I was still using a cheaper mic and less sophisticated production techniques, but I still remain very proud of this episode from a content perspective. Original 2022 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is C1E64 for Nerd Noise Crossovers, Thursday, 05/12/2022. Today’s Crossover is "ThreeFer Thursday" - which is, among standard format Ch 1 episodes for "just ordinary occasions", our longest episode to date. So hunker down and buckle up for what is going to be quite the musical journey! Also the Ch 1 debut of the new mic, higher quality copies of the intro/outro background music, and my new production techniques. I'm exceptionally proud of this episode, and hope you will find it exceptionally enjoyable!

Episode 182: On Stage Now – Smooth McGroove
July is about to end, which means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”. It’s an episode where I step back after introducing a musician of covers or remixes of video game music and play their works for all to hear. This month, we’re featuring Smooth McGroove. A virtuosic musician of acapella, […]Rebroadcast: David Wise
For this "Rebroadcast", Karl & Will share their episode originally released way back in December of 2013- "David Wise (#90)!" Enjoy this blast from the past, where the guys celebrate and interview (for the first time) the legendary David Wise!

[2025 Addendum]
Our third and final rerun which we’re releasing for July, and third and final rerun celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and our third and final of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”) series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd), we look, at last, to MoVGM’s final year: 2024. The Theme of 2024’s MoVGM was a focus on female and LGBTQIA+ (particularly trans) composers. And Nerd Noise Radio’s contribution for this year was a Channel 1 featuring the soundtrack to the game Celeste, composed by the fabulous trans composer Lena Raine. The pride connection goes even deeper, though, as the game was written and designed by Maddie Thorson, who is also trans, and upon whom the [also also trans] protagonist, Madelaine is also based. From a production standpoint, this is going to be pretty close to on par with a 2025 production as it is using all the same recording hardware, and most of the same production techniques, but may not quite match the current crop due to my using less sophisticated monitoring headphones resulting in a final mix which might be a tad on the “hot” side. Either way, it’s a showcase of great people making great music to a great game with a great message. So, we are quite pleased to present C1E86: “The Celeste Soundtrack” (originally released 06/15/2024). Enjoy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today’s broadcast is C1E86 for Soundtrack Saturday, June 15th, 2024. Today’s episode is our contributions to the annual VGM podcast scene group project, Masters of VGM (https://www.mastersofvgm.com/). Today's broadcast is the soundtrack to the game Celeste (Mutliplatform) - composed by Lena Raine!

The open road lays ahead of you. You look far down the lane and then mount your two-wheeled stallion. With a turn of the key, the beast between your lets roars to life. You twist the handle, coaxing its combustible instincts, and then, after kicking up the stand, you accelerate your way onto the road. […][158] That Sounds Familiar - Part III

[RERUN] C2E13: "Songs of the Unsung" [Masters of VGM] - orig rel. 06/01/2023 (see 2025 show note addendum!)
[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we’re releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”) series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd) is just one of, this time, four contributions we made to the series that year. I’ll share links to the other three below, as well as two other bonus links which are acutely relevant to two of them (as well as to C1E96, our “fresh episode” from last month). The Theme of 2023’s MoVGM was sort of the opposite of the year prior. 2022’s theme was a celebration of “big named composers”, like Yuzo Koshiro or Nobuo Uematsu, or The Follin Brothers and so on. Names that probably EVERYBODY already knows, 2023’s theme was “unsung and undersung composers”. Names that were not nearly as well-known as they should be. And so, our Channel 2 contribution followed the same format and design philosophy of our 2022, only with the opposite theme. It’s a little longer, though, because in addition to the same “four and four” as before, we added a ninth and final pair - tracks by unknown composers”. Production notes on this episode relative to the 2022 rerun: by this time, two major changes had happened: 1) I had upgraded from the $100 RODE Podmic I had been using to the current $400 Shure SM7B that I use today, and 2) I had started actively editing out “Umm”s from our conversation. I can’t guarantee that I caught every single one of them. But they’ll certainly be much less present and much less invasive. It still won't rise to the level of a 2025 production (and sounds a little worse with the SM7B’s presence boost turned on at the time, which I’ve since turned off), but it comes appreciably closer than C2E8. Links to the other 2023 Nerd Noise Radio MoVGM contributions: C1E76: “The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2” (originally released 06/01/2023 - the episode which kicked off MoVGM 2023 at large): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e76-the-big-sound-of-the-little-guy--vol-2
Ch F: “Highlights from ‘Stray’” (originally released 06/29/2023): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-highlights-fromstray-masters-of-vgm
Ch F: Composer Mini-Focus: rayjkayj (originally released 07/26/2023 - also, this might’ve been the final MoVGM 2023 episode as well, meaning, I might’ve gotten to provide both “bookends” to that year’s celebration!) https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-composer-minifocus-rayjkayj-masters-of-vgm
Lastly, two bonus links which relate to the above: 1) C1E30: Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 1 (originally released 09/14/2018 - apologies for the atrocious production quality and anemic intro, but the music collection itself is GREAT!) - not only is this obviously relevant to C1E76 above, but it’s also relevant to last month’s C1E96, which was (unofficially, but for all intents and purposes) “Big Sound of the Little Guy vol 3”:
2) C1E73: “UNKAYJ THE RAYJ” (originally released ) - guest-hosted by rayjkayj himself, the above minifocus on rayjkayj was comprised of outtakes from this original episode: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e73-unkayj-the-rayj
…and with that, I’ll leave you with C2E13: “Songs of the Unsung” (originally released 07/06/2023) - a title which I came up with, and if we’re being honest, I’m probably WAY too proud of!). :-D Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:
Today’s broadcast, for Theme Thursday, July 6th, 2023 is an episode of the Masters of VGM - season 2 (www.mastersofvgm.com) and is a focus on music from unsung and undersung composers - on an episode we’re calling “Songs of the Unsung”.

[RERUN] C2E8: "Our Four Favorites" [Masters of VGM] - orig rel. 06/30/2022 (see 2025 show note addendum!)
[2025 Addendum….sorry for the ultra long-winded] Normally, we only share one rerun a month at Nerd Noise Radio. But due to the confluence of a) our having missed the May rerun completely, b) our not getting a June rerun out until the very end of the month, and c) a very important thematic connection to an event currently happening in the VGM podcast scene this month, I’m releasing…..not one……not two……not four…..but THREE reruns in July! From 2022 through 2024, the greater VGM podcast community participated in a glorious group experiment called “Masters of VGM” (or “MoVGM” for short - I think I might’ve even been the one to coin the shorthand…..maybe), where a master theme was decided upon by the community, and then every participating podcast would do an episode, or a handful of episodes in keeping with the crowdsourced theme. Nerd Noise Radio participated all three years - with a Channel 2 in 2022, a Channel 1 in 2024, and in 2023, with a whopping FOUR installments where we had a Channel 1, a Channel 2, and two Channel Fs. Channel F, for the new faces in the crowd is our mechanism for betas, and bonuses, and things which just don’t fit the mold for a regular episode. Channel F is “format agnostic” and does not have any sort of regular release cadence whatsoever. So, “F-isodes” as I call them (and am probably WAY too proud of myself for that), can be just whatever, and come out just whenever. The people who devised and oversaw MoVGM have largely significantly reduced their presence in the podcast scene over the past couple years, and so had elected to not continue MoVGM into 2025. However, a handful of us, Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself have decided that, while not formally reviving MoVGM, we were going to do something of our own, in that same spirit. While the name hasn’t been officially finalized as of this writing on July 2nd, and could still change, the “working title” (that will very likely become the final title), which was proposed by Professor Tom is “VGM Hall of Fame” I’ll go ahead and dub it “HoF” for short. Naturally, we’re trying to also inspire other podcasters to join us so that it is not just we three, but at the very, very least, there will be an HoF episode from all of us on the theme of “a soundtrack that belongs in a theoretical “VGM Hall of Fame” (hence the name). Nerd Noise Radio’s contribution to this will be a Channel 1 featuring the Super Metroid soundtrack (C1E97). If I have the time, and the mental energy, I might also supplement this with an F-isode on a much more obscure soundtrack that begs to enjoy greater awareness and celebration (Lucid 9, if it ends up happening). One other major difference between HoF and MoVGM is that MoVGM occurred in June (2023 was so big that it extended into July) where HoF will occur in July. We all wanted to do this in June, but we were all too deep into production of our respective June content at the time that we all agreed to just push it back to July instead. Anyway, over the river and through the woods, to the point I *FINALLY* get: in a bid to not only help draw extra attention to HoF and hopefully drum up a little excitement for it, among both listeners as well as other podcasters, especially prospective participants, as well as to simply celebrate some of the glory that was this remarkable moment in time for a community, this month, I will rerun our 2022 MoVGM contribution, our 2023 Channel 2 contribution, which was a sort of “spiritual sequel” to our 2022 outing (with links to our other 2023 contributions in that rerun’s show notes), and finally, to our 2024 offering. And naturally, we’ll start with 2022. The theme of 2022 was “which composers would you put on your ‘VGM Mount Rushmore’”? So everyone was to pick four composers. Since Ch 2 was Hugues and I, rather than picking just two, we each picked four for a grand total, of course, of eight, and then did a thing where we each picked one track from each of the eight composers (one each for our own composers, as well as one each for the other guys’ composers). With this being a 2022 production, all the usual caveats about production quality differences and deficiencies. Between a lesser mic and less fully developed production techniques, the sound quality will not be up to the standards of a 2025 episode (I also hadn’t started editing out the “umms” yet….apologies for that!). But it’s still pretty decent. Certainly decent enough that it doesn’t really feel like a barrier to enjoyment like, say, a 2018, or especially 2017 episode would be. And so, without further ado: our first of three reruns this month, the first of three to celebrate the memory of MoVGM as well as hopefully whet people’s appetites for HoF: C2E8: “Our Four Favorites” - originally released 06/30/2022.
Enjoy!

NOTE ON BACKUP [bad] AUDIO - SHORT[ISH] VERSION: when Hugues and I meet, we have our Google Meet output recording, as well as each having higher quality Audacity recordings of just our own sides of the conversation. We keep the Meet recording in case there is an emergency with the Audacity recording, but otherwise don't use it in the final episode, and I just align and combine our high quality Audacity recordings. On this episode, however, (a first for Ch 2) we lost a portion of Hugues' Audacity recording, so we did have to use our fallback a little bit. At the very bottom of the show notes, I'll include a LONG[ISH] VERSION which explains more. I did everything I could to minimize the impact of the Google Meet recording in the final episode. But it is noticeable at points. You can find Brian and Kristen Peterson's GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/1ef0f855. Again, absolutely zero pressure to contribute, but anything you do would certainly be most appreciated!

Mario Kart Grand Prix Tour
[Episode 40] This month, barSILENCE is powersliding through the iconic, energetic, and incredibly fun soundtracks to the console Mario Kart games.
The Mario Kart series hit the track in 1992 and has remained one of Nintendo’s most iconic and best-selling franchises. Whether it was the leap into 3D with Mario Kart 64, the two-character strategy of Double Dash!!, or Mario Kart Wii’s motion controls and online multiplayer, each entry introduced new ways to race while keeping the spirit of the series intact.
In this Grand Prix-style tour through the first four console games, we’re racing through favorites like Koopa Beach and Mario Circuit (Super Mario Kart), Toad’s Turnpike and Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64), Peach Beach and Sherbet Land (Double Dash!!), and Coconut Mall and Daisy Circuit (Mario Kart Wii).
Get your limited edition gold N64 controllers ready, because we’re hitting the track and setting Nintendo Power contest lap records!
Let’s-a-Go! Waaahooooo!
