Episode 175: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
The Episodes The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening vgm
On June 6, 1993, “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening” was released on Japan for Nintendo’s Game Boy. It would later be released in the North America and European regions on August 6th and December 1st respectively, and then the following year worldwide. It was initially developed as an attempt to port “A Link to the Past” from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System to the Game Boy but it became its own project under the direction of Takashi Tezuka. In 1998, it was re-released for the Game Boy Color and then remade in 2019 for the Switch.
For this week’s episode, we’re simply celebrating with several tracks from the game, along with several remixes to follow.
Prepare yourself, adventurer, for the dream of a lifetime…

Episode 62 - A Proper Puzzle Pile
We’re matching colors, bursting bubbles, and clearing blocks with this playlist of songs from all kinds of puzzle games!
There are several links and notes for this episode:
- I started off my first music block with a song from the original arcade release of Blockout, and if you’re interested in playing it, you can play it on a web browser at https://blockout.nu/. (Note that it works fine with a computer keyboard, but it may be nigh impossible to play on a phone or tablet.)
- If you liked the Planet Puzzle League song, the episode of CRT Soundsystem featuring a deep dive into the its music can be found at https://rss.com/podcasts/crtsoundsystem/1917986/.
- While talking about Cu-On-Pa, I mentioned that it was a port of Endorfun, a Windows PC game. I would have liked to feature it, but that game’s soundtrack doesn’t neatly break down into individual songs. However, if you want to experience it, you can find a remastered version of the soundtrack on YouTube at https://youtu.be/6k_hYPfPpEQ and you can hear the arranged soundtrack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngnpsZf24VI. If you liked the CD-i Tetris soundtrack, you may enjoy these.
- If you’re interested in going down the rabbit hole for the Adventures of Lolo / Eggerland games, the Wikipedia article is a decent starting point; you can find it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Lolo, and you can search around and try to figure out the multiple variations of the series between its entries for the MSX, the Famicom, the NES, and the Game Boy.
- Fellow VGM podcast barSILENCE did a whole episode about Tetris that I mentioned while talking about Tetris Kiwamemichi, and you can find that excellent 73 minutes of game music at https://barsilence.com/episode/e6308ce1/tetris-affects
- If you liked the CD-i Tetris song from Jim Andron, you can find a high-quality version of the whole soundtrack on his Soundcloud page at https://soundcloud.com/user-391016128/sets/phillips-cdi
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:
- Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com.

All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on FGC Radio or at https://rss.com/podcasts/hmibisondollars/.
If you're listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

Episode 174: On Stage Now – LucasGitanoFamily
The Episodes flamenco LucasGitanoFamily rumba gitana vgm
May ends within two days of this post, and that means it’s time for “On Stage Now”, our special monthly episode in which a cover or remix musician is featured.
This month’s musician is LucasGitanoFamily, a Frenchman who’s been learning to play rumba gitana since six years old and influenced by the Gypsy Kings. He has toured the world over, showing his ability to improvise his solos. Lucas is on a mission to teach others how to play, no matter what level of experience. His YT channel shows lots of videos of his covers of music from video games, anime, and movies. He’s also recorded his own original compositions and currently released his own albums on many streaming services.
Prepare to be mesmerized and entertained by LucasGitanoFamily.
Oh, and thanks to Rob, Pernell, and Chris Wisner for the inspiration for this episode…
(Note: There are parts of this episode which sound different, and that’s because I found out after finishing that I was mispronouncing the name incorrectly. I merely went back and made the corrections as best as I can.)

Episode 122 – Lethal Enforcers I & II (Same Song, Different System)
Konami Lethal Enforcers Patreon Track VGM LeathalEnforcers
Marred in 90s era video game controversy, Konami’s Lethal Enforcers series, along with Mortal Kombat, Night Trap, and several other games, had ironic targets on their backs for their innovative, realistic (at the time) graphics involving firing a fake plastic gun at the screen, killing human targets. Years later, the series is best known for pushing buttons in the North American political atmosphere, which is a shame because it SHOULD be known for their amazing soundtracks! Today on XVGM Radio, Justin and Mike go a few rounds with some Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2 tunes, comparing the versions and picking which ones they like the best after their heavy analyzing. Well worth the price of admission, you’ll be firing in quarters like crazy into your phone to reload more amazing tunes full of orchestra synth hits, SNES Midi guitar, along with tons of comparison to other Konami OSTs. This episode has its target set on you, time to hit play!

Episode 173: Life on the Highway (National Road Trip Day)
The Episodes Final Fantasy XV Kentucky Route Zero National Road Trip Day Outrun 2 SP Outrun 2006 road trip vgm
The open road – an invitation to those ready to take the wheel and drive solo or with companions. Destination: unknown.
We’re celebrating National Road Trip Day, which happens on the Friday before the Memorial Day weekend. According to Pilot Flying J, it is the “unofficial” start of summer travel as people pack up their cars and work out their itineraries to visit the places and see the sites. For some, it’s the journey that matters, with good food, great conversation, and some travelling music. For others, it’s finding a place to stretch your legs or find a clean restroom while making stops to eat and make memories.
We’ve got some tracks from video games that feature a road trip: a long and winding race between the coasts, a mysterious route in Kentucky, and a trip that doesn’t need a Chocobo. There’s also covers and remixes with these original tracks.
Gather your belongings, make sure the maps is folded correctly, check the gas gauge, and prepare for a life on the highway…

Video game RPGs are full of sequels, probably the most amount of sequels of any other genre. But what of those games time forgot? The games that were maybe so good a sequel wasn’t made? Or maybe too good for a sequel? We’re listening to music from RPG one-offs this week with our good friend Chris Wisner! (Musashi219 on Twitch)

Episode 172: Terraria
The Episodes Terraria vgm
Today, we celebrate the Microsoft Windows release of Terraria, on May 16th, 2011. A 2D action-adventure sandbox game, Terraria contains several RPG elements with its 16-bit world. You’ll explore several biomes or environments, discover and gather resources for crafting, and build your shelter, equipment, and items to help you explore deeper and fight harder enemies and bosses. You can also attract certain NPCs that can offer services or sell special items to you.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing several tracks from the game, composed by Scott Lloyd Shelly, along with covers and remixes to follow each track.
Prepare for adventure as you listen to these tracks…

Episode 171: Europe Day
The Episodes Europe Day Remember Me Syberia The House of the Dead vgm
Today we’re celebrating Europe Day… wait, wasn’t Europe Day on May 5th?
Yes, and yes, but hear me out.
This date for Europe Day, May 9th, celebrates the Schuman Declaration, established on May 9, 1950, between France and Germany to pool their resources in coal and steel, so as to make war impossible between themselves. Later, in 1993, the partnership has led the foundation of the European Union, to ensure economic synergy and political cooperation.
Now, as for May 5th, that date was when the Council of Europe was founded in 1949 to be an observer of established standards of government and to provide technical support for these standards.
So, I suppose this is a double-celebration of Europe Day.
We’ll be playing tracks from video games that take place in Europe: a search for a long-lost relative to finalize the takeover of a family-run toy factory, a “house” that has become a laboratory of the dead, and hunter who can remix memories as needed. Of course, there will be covers and remixes to follow these original tracks.
Fly the flag of your favorite European country, enjoy some European treats, and enjoy these tracks…

“Theme of The Magician” – [The House of the Dead] – composed by Tetsuya Kawauchi

[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E95: VibeOff Vrijdag”
Today’s broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to not only tell us which one you like better, but whether or not the comparisons are even valid, and how strongly or weakly if so. So, in lieu of an 8th and final FaceOff Friday episode, Nerd Noise Radio is pleased to present: VibeOff Vrijdag (Vrijdag = the Dutch word for Friday). See the show notes for a link to a document which will allow you to grade me on these comparisons if you so choose!

Shinobi & Nightshade
[Episode 39] This month, barSILENCE is dashing across rooftops and slicing through the shadows with the pulse-pounding beats of Shinobi and Nightshade for the PlayStation 2.
2002’s Shinobi introduced us to the relentless, vengeance-driven Hotsuma, and 2004’s Nightshade passed the blade to Hibana, a fierce ninja with her own score to settle. With blazing speed, brutal difficulty, a sleek near-future look, and a killer soundtrack, these stylish action games brought Sega’s classic ninja franchise into the 3D era.
Prepare for an audio mission through shadows, steel, and synths in Tokyo!
Je te dédie ça Elliot

Episode 170: The Final Frontier (National Space Day)
The Episodes Honkai: Star Rail Kerbal Space Program National Space Day space Starcraft vgm
Space… the final frontier. A place seen as void of life yet it holds a certain mood of curiosity. It has stirred many to advance the sciences for possible exploration and discovery.
And today we’re celebrating National Space Day, on May 2nd. This day, originally created by Lockheed Martin as Space Day, was meant to encourage students to think about a career in the aerospace industry. Later, John Glenn, a former astronaut and U.S. senator, changed the name to National Space Day.
We’ll be playing tracks from video games that explore or take place in space: a war between three different species, a group of Kerbals eager to leave their planet’s gravity, and passengers of an interstellar railway. There’ll also be covers to follow.
So, prepare to leave the confine’s of Earth’s gravity and explore the unknown stars of the galaxy.
Track Listing
“Space the Final Frontier” – from the Paramount Archives, spoken by William Shatner, remastered by Ralph Miller
“Terran Theme 1” – [Starcraft] – composed by Glenn Stafford
“Starcraft 1 OST – Terran Theme [Metal Cover by ProgMuz] – covered by ProgMuz

[RERUNS] C1E4: TwoFer Tuesday - vol. 1 (orig. rel. 02/21/2017 - see 2025 show notes amendment!)
2025 Show Notes Amendment: I love the setup we have here where on the first day of the month, we released our final ever TwoFer Tuesday, and now, here at the last day of the month, we re-release our first ever TwoFer Tuesday! It feels like a wonder twist on "bookends". As always when re-running early episodes, please excuse the atrocious production quality. One of my favorite things looking back on the early episodes of the show is how "different, yet the same" they are. From a sound quality perspective, the differences are night and day in every aspect. But in terms of show format and events, other than missing the now customary summary introduction, and the fact that they've gradually gotten longer over the years, it's the same darned show that it's always been. And what the early episodes lack in polish and finesse and technique and maturity, they somewhat make up for in youthful exuberance and wide-eyed optimism, and a simply innocent fun. You've heard the latest and greatest of TwoFer Tuesday this month, now hear the awkward first baby steps!....different....yet the same.... Lastly, I had toyed with the idea of doing three reruns this month - today's rerun, as well as the two highlighted April Fool's episodes: 2020's "Backtracks" (where all the tracks played in reverse), and 2024's "Parallels" (where all the tracks played over top of each other all at once). But I had procrastinated, and now it's the last day of the month, and it would simply obscene of me to upload three reruns in one day. So the compromise that I settled on was to include links to them here in the show notes, in case you wanted to revisit them (or perhaps experience them for the first time). So, here are the links, Backtracks first, then Parallels. In terms of production value, Backtracks is dramatically better than today's rerun, but also dramatically lesser than our current works, whereas Parallels is very close to our current level of production : https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e52-backtracks/

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio - Dreamcast - BB Rights
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:
http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss
NOTE: This episode had to be trimmed for the “Channel 1” feed to make it and Episode 3 both fit within the two hour limit for the month. The shortened version is called “Episode 4a” (C1E4a), where the full-length version is simply called “Episode 4” (C1E4).
Our episodes will also appear on our Nerd Noise Radio YouTube Channel - just search for Nerd Noise Radio, you'll find us! Here's today's episode:

Episode 169: On Stage Now – TeraCMusic
The Episodes TeraCMusic vgm
The end of April nears, which means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”. This month, we’re featuring TeraCMusic.
TeraCMusic is a musician who’s covers are mostly done in string or with vocals. She learned to play the piano and violin at a young age, though she has also added the guitar and violia. With re-imagined and re-invented arrangements, her inspiration comes from several composers, including Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, and Koji Kondo. She has also collaborated with other musicians online (such as Lionmight, aka String Player Gamer). She hopes to one day compose music for a video game.
Prepare to listen to her serenade with her violin and entrance you with her lovely voice.

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!

Episode 168: Made and Built to Last (International Day for Monuments and Sites)
The Episodes Assassin's Credd II Ghost of Tsushima Horizon Forbidden West International Day for Monuments and Sites Lemmings vgm World Heritage Day
This episode is going to be epic!
Well, in terms of sites and buildings, because we’re celebrating International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day. This day, developed by the International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), is to honor and raise awareness of the heritage of natural and man-made monuments and sites. It also promoted the preservation and conservations of these important places due to their significance with local and regional heritage. Some examples of such monuments and sites include the Parthenon in Greece, the Shrines and Temples of Nikko in Japan, and the Statue of Liberty in the United States.
This week, we’re listening to tracks from video games that have recreations and inspirations of certain World Heritage Sites: learning to be an assassin during the Renaissance, liberating the island of Tsushima, and travelling west to revive the Earth. We’ve also got covers and remixes with these original tracks.
Enjoy these tracks as you ponder on the importance and importance of these monuments and sites in relation to heritage.

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. For now, you can also find me on Threads or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. I’m on Mastodon at @ShujinAcademyVGMClub@mastodon.coffee, and my username on Discord is ProfessorTom. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on Spotify and FGC Radio.
Speaking of Spotify, if you’re listening there, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.
I mentioned the DefunctGames.com review of Putter Golf during the show, and you can read it for yourself at http://www.defunctgames.com/review/1366/putter-golf.

Episode 166: Rats! We’re Rats! We’re the Rats! (World Rat Day)
The Episodes Brutal: Paws of Fury Final Fantasy IX rat Shining Force II vgm World Rat Day
They’re feared by elephants yet fancied by its breeders and fans. They’re scorned for carrying diseases yet appreciated for detecting them. They’re considered offensive and selfish, yet some consider them clean and sociable.
They are the rats, and today we’re celebrating World Rat Day, in honor of these fascinating creatures of science and society. For a time, rats were thought to be terrible and offensive because of religion and The Black Plague; they even had a sport of filling a pit with rats and betting on which dog can kill the rats the fastest. Fortunately, thanks to the breeders of this sport, rats became domesticated (known as fancy rats) and were collected by fans for their unique fur colors and patterns.
This week, we’re playing tracks from video games that have rats: a tournament of furry fighters, a world under attack by a once sealed demon, and a kingdom on a warpath with other kingdoms. There’s also covers and remixes of these original tracks to follow.
Have a good listen to these tracks as you ponder on the idea of adopting a fancy rat for a pet…

Hip Hop Mixtape Vol. 1
[Episode 38] This month, barSILENCE is behind the decks for a mixtape-style episode, spinning tracks from games that showcase hip-hop’s undeniable influence on gaming history.
Hip-hop and video games are two cultural powerhouses that have inspired each other for decades. This episode celebrates that intersection of beats and bits, from classic 16-bit grooves to hip-hop artists stepping in as composers.
Whether it’s the funk-infused rhythms of Ristar, the street-art style of Marc Ecko’s Getting Up, or the raw energy and fisticuffs of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, hip-hop’s presence in gaming is bold, loud, and unforgettable.
Grab your controller, drop the needle, and press start on the ultimate hip-hop video game music mixtape!

Free Picks…the very definition of randomness. Every 20 episodes, Mike and Justin think back to stuff they’re playing, or perhaps pick a track suggested by our Discord members (Thanks ElectricBoogaloo for this month’s pick!)

One COULD call this a “Squeakuel” but it’s best to call it Free Picks 6: The Search For 5!

[RERUN!!] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E69: Mishmash Monday – vol 12” (orig. release: 11/07/22)
2025 re-run bonus notes:
This episode is the third in a trilogy of music blocks (parts 1 and 2 were our January and February reruns). Long time listeners may already know what this trilogy is all about, but for those who don't and have been following the reruns, the introduction to this episode finally explains what the trilogy is all about.
So, the fun [for me] question: of the three music blocks in the trilogy, which did you like best (and why), which did you like least (and why), and do you or do you not think I made the right decision bumping "music block A" for "music block B" in C1E41? Let me know at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com, or by any social media outlet on which we exist. I will genuinely be curious to know what you think. Even to this day in 2025, I *STILL* don't know what to think, personally!
DISCLAIMER: the production value was worse in 2022 when the intro and outro were produced, and substantially worse in 2018 when the music block was produced. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.

Music Block Runtime: 01:25:40 / Total Episode Runtime: 01:43:57
Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Intro / Outro / Final Production produced using Ardour 6 / Audacity 3 in Ubuntu Studio [Linux] 22.04 09/08/2022. Music Block produced in GarageBand in macOS 10/19/2018.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The tools and techniques I used back in 2018 in producing the music block were NOT up to my current standards – including featuring less sophisticated fades, more imprecise volume level balancing, less developed track run-order sorting, and even my having used MP3s rather than WAVs in the source production, resulting in a lower-fidelity final product, and further limiting my ability to touch it up after the fact. As such, the production value of this episode will NOT be to par with our current "fresh episodes". But production values aside, the quality of the CONTENT itself, otherwise, I feel, is excellent, and well worth digging up to share with you.....I hope that you'll agree! :-)
You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.
Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
[Episode 37] This month barSILENCE is taking off into the high-tech futuristic world of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere!
Released in Japan in 1999 and internationally in 2000, this ambitious entry in Namco’s legendary flight-combat series pushed the PlayStation to its limits and had an awesome cyberpunk-infused narrative, stunning visuals, and one of the most experimental soundtracks in the series.
Composed by a powerhouse team including Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Hiroshi Okubo, Go Shiina, Koji Nakagawa, and Kanako Kakino, the music of Ace Combat 3 is a brilliant fusion of techno and electronica, mixed with an atmospheric ambiance that perfectly complements the game’s futuristic setting.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Namco released a fully remastered soundtrack in 2024, and we’ll be experiencing it in a techno futuristic playlist-style format.
Get ready to hack the Electrosphere and take to the skies for some serious Air Combat!
Bingo!

Episode 161: On Stage Now – JemyMusic
My, what a short month is February, which means it’s time for another special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a cover/remix musician and their works. This month, we’re featuring JemyMusic (real name: Jemy Hiiragi). She’s an electronic musician, keyboardist, and performer. She posts on her YouTube channel videos of her covers and […]Episode 58 - Waiting for a Pixelated Dawn
These are hopeful songs about a better tomorrow.
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:
- Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com.
- BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.
During the show, I mentioned the CRT Soundsystem episode about Quintet’s Heaven and Earth trilogy of Super NES games: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma. You can find that episode (and all that cool music) at https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/crtsoundsystem/episodes/049---Quintets-Heaven--Earth-Games-e2m6mok/a-abekg3o.
If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. For now, you can also find me on Threads or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. I’m on Mastodon at @ShujinAcademyVGMClub@mastodon.coffee, and my username on Discord is ProfessorTom. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on Spotify and FGC Radio.
If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

Mini 005 - Planet Puzzle League
Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.
Just back with another mini episode. I'm gonna try to do one of these every 2 months this year to see how it goes. I'd love to justify doing more episodes a year and I thought that Patreon had stretch goal type things but I guess they don't anymore, but I'm not gonna pimp the Patreon too much though it's definitely a factor in how much I'm likely to do more. I'm not interested in gating episodes behind a paywall but if you like the show at least consider throwing us a couple of dollars a month and I'd be able to justify doing more episodes like this on a more regular schedule. A Reminder also that the Patreon feed does have bonus episodes for free that aren't on the main feed, I'm only siloing those off because Spotify is funny about episodes that are more music than discussion.

The machinery of time has been jammed, but it has still managed to plop out another wonderful episode full of corrosive ear candy. Jon and Rich are back and dancing to that Bronze Key Beat, with the spirit of Baphomet inspiring a return to the chaotic brilliance you expect. You know you can't turn away, or run away. When the Serpent yells "All Aboard!", hop on the train and you can share an apple or two with Select BGM.Episode 20: Silent's Hills 3: Heather VS Meatclub Manny
