Episode 234: Going the Wrong Way (National Wrong Way Corrigan Day)
The Episodes Douglas Groce Corrigan Maniac Mansion Pokemon Red vgm World of Warcraft wrong way Wrong Way Corrigan Day
Sometimes going the wrong way is a good thing…
Just ask Douglas Groce Corrigan, a pilot who decide to fly in the ‘wrong direction’, and we’re celebrating National Wrong Way Corrigan Day on July 17th. It was on this day, back in 1938, that Corrigan didn’t follow his submitted flight plan, from New York to California. With a dream in his heart and the thought of Charles Lindbergh’s flight to Paris in his head, Corrigan left heading east after encountering heavy clouds and managed to make it to Dublin, Ireland on July 18th. While his license was suspended, Corrigan received a hero’s welcome, complete with ticker tape parades and movie contract to play as himself about his transatlantic flight (“The Flying Irishman”). He still states that “… I got mixed up in the clouds, and I must have flown in the wrong way.”
On this week’s episode, we’re discussing video games in which things went the wrong way: a pet in a creepy mansion, a wayward Paladin charging into a rookery, and a livestream gameplay that went incredibly south. We’re playing tracks from these games along with their covers.
Prepare yourself to go the wrong way…

Episode 233: Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec
The Episodes cars Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec racing vgm
Today we’re celebrating the 26th anniversary of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, back in July 10, 2001, exclusively for Sony’s PlayStation 2.
It was the third installment and is the series’ first game within the sixth generation of consoles. While there is multiplayer mode via Arcade Mode, the core Gran Turismo experience lies in Simulation Mode. Earning licenses allows the player to access certain race courses and challenges, while winning these races gives credits, so that they can buy certain or their favorite cars to tune and race in more difficult races. The significant leap in technology (graphics, physics, sound design, car modelling, etc) added to the experience. Gran Turismo 3 is considered the best-selling in the series and the 2nd best-selling PlayStation 2 game.
For this week’s episode, we’ll be listening to several tracks from the game, followed by some noteworthy remixes.
Settle in the bucket seat, grip the shift stick, and prepare to cruise with the sounds of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec…

Episode 72 - Final Interpretation II
Since 1999, OverClocked ReMix (https://ocremix.org/) has been a part of the video game music community. It began as a showcase of game music from fans, and it’s grown into a library with years of history and game remixes. The community began releasing themed albums full of songs in 2003, and several of those albums have covered various Final Fantasy games. This is the second of two episodes featuring those albums, and this one focuses on the OCRemix albums for the PlayStation era Final Fantasy games.
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

I mentioned the Simpsons episode where they go to Branson Missouri and see dual marquees: “Andy Williams Presents Glen Campbell! Glen Campbell Presents Andy Williams!” You can experience that for yourself at https://youtu.be/vgFgaV_-KfA, and I can testify that Branson Missouri was really like that in the late 1990’s. There were a lot of celebrities who retired to Branson to get away from touring, and nowadays, the only one remaining is Yakov Smirnoff, who’s a very nice man.

Episode 232: Developed on America
The Episodes 4th of july America Bethesda Game Studios Bioshock Infinite Fourth of July Half-Life Irrational Games The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Valve Corporation vgm
Happy 250th Birthday, America!
On July 4th, delegates of the Second Continental Congress met to sign a document that would set a course for the Thirteen Colonies. Intense debate and voting sessions in previous days and weeks were required to ensure that all the colonies were in agreement. All knew they were declaring themselves traitors to a monarchy an ocean away yet were resolved in their intent to free themselves the invisible hand that burden them of their way of life. Two days before, they approved a resolution of independence; on July 4th , the Declaration of Independence was dated and signed, legally separating themselves from King George III.
In lieu of the Fourth of July weekend, we are celebrating with tracks from video games that were developed in the United States of America: a scientist escaping a lab during an alien invasion, a lone prisoner who turns out to be a Dragonborn, and a man trying to pay a debt by searching for a special woman. We’ve also got covers and remixes following each of these tracks.
Enjoy these tracks as you work the barbecue cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, watch the patriotic floats on the street, and see the night sky burst with colorful fireworks…

The Episodes Bobby Prince Commander Keen Doom II id Software vgm Wolfenstein 3D
This week’s episode is a special tribute to Bobby Prince (aka Robert Caskin Prince III), the composer for several id Software games and their series, such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Duke Nukem, and Rise of the Triad. He passed away recent on Jun 16th.
Bobby Prince had an interest in MIDI technology during the late 1980s and early 1990s, having a music background when he was part of a high school band called “Jesters”. He learned to create backtracks for various genres and was active on the BBS (bulletin boards) for computer music and MIDI. By chance, he happened to reply to a call for someone able to create music for video games. After speaking with Scott Miller and later John Romero, he worked on the music for the second trilogy of the Commander Keen series. He also did sound, along with music for Wolfenstein 3D, using his experience as a platoon soldier during his time in the Vietnam War. The music he composed is heavily influenced by rock and metal music from groups such as Alice in Chains, Megadeath, Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Slayer. His composition for Doom has been entered into the National Recording Registry.
Join us as we listen to several compositions by Bobby Prince, along with their covers and remixes, and learn more about him…

We are partnering with some other shows this month (Thanks Martyrus at Re-VGM!) to explore the topic of Title Tracks. These are traditionally songs featured on an album of the same name, setting the tone and theme for the whole album. In this case, we’re looking at title theme music of games that have touched us personally in some way. Whether it was arcade-attract music that we couldn’t get out of our head, or if it was a game that got us through a difficult time. Let us know what your favorite title music is and why!

Episode 230: A Time for Music (National Watch Day)
The Episodes Far Cry 6 Goldeneye 007 L.A. Noire National Watch Day vgm watch
There was a time when people carried time with them all the time. Whether it was on a wrist or attached to a chain, people had a watch, a device that had a face with marks for hours and seconds and three hands (hour, minute, second). Some watches were either mechanical (gears and winding knob) or electronic (quartz), and some included the day and month. Some were functional while others were stylish.
For this week’s episode, we’re celebrating National Watch Day, a day that brings awareness to the history and craft of watchmaking. Going back to the 16th century, watches kept time with a set of gears and springs and required periodic winding. The first wristwatches were made as special gifts for certain noblewomen. Normally worn as a status symbol, they later become a necessary item after the Second Boer War and then a popular men accessory after World War II. The introduction of quartz allowed wristwatches to explode, though it did cause traditional mechanical watches to retract and refocus themselves for luxury.
We’ve got tracks from video games that feature watches: a secret agent stopping a satellite weapon, a hard-boiled detective in 1940s Los Angeles, and a rebel fighting against the new dictator. Of course, we have covers and remixes along with these tracks.
Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy these tracks…

Episode 71 - Final Interpretation
Since 1999, OverClocked ReMix (https://ocremix.org/) has been a part of the video game music community. It began as a showcase of game music from fans, and it’s grown into a library with years of history and game remixes. The community began releasing themed albums full of songs in 2003, and several of those albums have covered various Final Fantasy games. In this first of a two-episode series, we’ll be looking at the OCRemix albums covering NES and SNES Final Fantasy games.
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:
- All the various musicians, remixers, and arrangers who worked on these OCRemix albums. Lots of links for them are below, alongside links to download each of today’s four featured albums
- 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.

Episode 134 – Super NES Musical Swansongs
Patreon Track SNES VGM SFC
The Super Nintendo and Super Famicom have some of the greatest games ever made. But what sort of output did the system have in its twilight years? Today on XVGM Radio, Mike and Ed look at the late life cycle of the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom from 1996 and beyond, official releases only (No homebrew/indie stuff here!) to showcase some quality music from the system’s end of the road era. From 1996 to 2000, we’re spotlighting the hits, misses and risks the console took to continue improving upon its sound. In this episode you can hear all about Tamogotchi poop patterns, Zelda clones, CDs as weapons and of course…going to the west blowhole forest. Don’t miss this future classic episode of XVGM Radio!

LMH Mixtape #296: Demented Love Story
16-bit 8-bit best vgm famicom game boy genesis mega drive nes pc engine snes turbografx video game music podcast
The unofficial theme of this free play episode was "Demented Love Story," but there's nothing demented about loving these tracks. "Original Sin (Dracula's Castle 1)" from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a classic Castlevania banger. "Casino" from Return of Double Dragon has some really catchy bass guitar. "Brinstar (Heavy Foliage Area)" from Super Metroid is a haunting andEpisode 22: Tony Takeover! Moogle Milker Gacha Games Strictly for the Nokia N-Gage
Ew, do you smell that? Yeah, we do too, that's the collective stink of both exclusively Tony's song picks AND gacha game music! Tony's taken over the podcast music player and he's got something very nasty brewing. Be sure to bring your nose plugs, credit card information and N-Gage charging cable. And Zach is here.

Episode 228: A New Beginning (National Start Over Day)
The Episodes Final Fantasy IV Fresh Start Effect Mass Effect 2 National Start Over Day Persona 5 Royal vgm
Every day is a new day. A chance to start fresh and anew. It’s an opportunity to begin again and not be burdened by the past.
And so we’re celebrating “National Start Over Day” on June 5th.
“National Start Over Day” was created by Doug “Snoop” Philp, the Social Media Specialist and Web Administrator for the website National Day Calendar. He wanted people to know that it’s okay to start over; yes, there are setbacks and failures but those are moments to learn from them and grow in our own lives.
There are a good number of video games that have this idea of starting out (known more commonly as the redemption arc), and for this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have the redemption arc or the idea of starting over: a dark knight wanting to atone for his past crimes, a commander revived from a severe attack, and a high school student wronged of a crime. Of course, we’ve got covers and remixes to follow.
Let’s enjoy these video games and their tracks, as you consider making a fresh start in your own life…

With the end of May near, it’s that time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a remixer or musician of video game music. For this month, it’s Player2.
Player2 is a remixer of video game music done in the style of EDM and also a music producer and recording engineer. He was featured in a couple of episodes: #146 “Donkey Kong 64” with his remix of DK Rap, and #166 “Rats! We’re Rats! We’re the Rats! (World Rat Day)” with his remix of Lively Town from Shining Force II. His YouTube channel carries nine years of videos, featuring remixes of music from video games, movies, and popular music, along with some original compositions. While most of them are solo projects, Player2 has done collaborations with others, including Vector U and Theology.

[RERUNS] Channel F Introduction (orig rel. 12/24/2017)
2026 Show Notes Addendum: As we prepare what is slated to become our final ever installment of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel F, I felt it apropos - poetic, even, to make this month's rerun be of our very first ever installment.
As always, please keep in mind how much worse my production quality was all the way back in late 2017 than it is today (both in terms of tools and techniques), and give all that a little grace. A snapshot of a moment in time. However, as you'll see from the even earlier late 2016 rebroadcast included in this transmission, even with as bad as late 2017 production was, it was already much improved over where I had gotten my start about a year earlier.
Now, please, enjoy this maiden voyage of our betas and bonuses outlet - including, not one, but BOTH of the two most important, transformative, meaningful, and cherished Christmas memories of my life!
--------------------------
original show notes
--------------------------
Tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago.......and tales of the glories of an all-new Channel from the Nerd Noise Radio Network - plus a certain special "re-run" embedded at the end!
Merry Christmas (etc), Noisers!!!
p.s. First Appearance of the new Nerd Noise Radio logo and background design scheme for 2018. I hope you like it! It's purposely lo-fi, but hope that comes off in the good way, rather than the bad way. Also, as a fledgling (and I mean SUUUUUUPER fledgling) student of Japanese, I just couldn't resist. ;-)

It was storming outside when the podcast walked into my office. We’re celebrating the new game Mouse P.I. for Hire, and REALLY celebrating the music by composer Patryk Scelina! So we’re looking at detective games, and shooters! Mixing it up and putting it in an old Mickey Mouse cartoon!

The focus for this episode was Famicom games, which therefore also means it's almost entirely Japanese-exclusive games and certainly entirely music that only appeared in Japanese-exclusive releases. "Doll Masquerade" from Toukon Club has that classic sports game music with also the quality you know you can expect from Natsume. After that, we get a spooky sounding track reminiscent ofEpisode 26-9: E no Shiri no Densetsu

Episode 226: Video Game Title Tracks (National Title Track Day)
The Episodes Arknights: Endfield Metal Gear Solid Metroid Prime National Title Track Day super mario bros The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time title track vgm
Every fourth Friday of May, there’s a day called “National Title Track Day” that celebrates the title tracks of albums. These tracks were often the same as the album title, like The Beatles’ “Let It Be” or Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. They can also be tracks that were first released before the album is made available to the public or one that defines or summarizes the whole album. Title tracks are meant to grab the attention of the listener in the hopes of keeping them for the rest of the tracks composed and produced by the musician or band. They express the theme of the album while the rest of the tracks go deeper into certain aspects of the theme.
This week’s episode will take a long look at several title tracks from video games I’ve played through the decades and have become a part of my personal soundtrack: a plumber rescuing the Princess, a covert operative infiltrating a nuclear base, the Hero of Time saving Hyrule, a bounty hunter pursuing space pirates, an unknown person destined to banish the great dragon, and a leader awakening to a world in need of help. Each title track will also have covers and remixes to follow.
Sit back and enjoy this personal journey of mine and maybe you’ll considering creating a playlist of favorite title tracks.

Episode 224: Donkey, Old and Gray (World Donkey Day)
The Episodes Assassin's Creed Rogue donkey Minecraft Red Dead Redemption II vgm World Donkey Day
Today’s episode is going to… the donkey?!
Actually, today is World Donkey Day, in honor of that beast of burden and perceived to be one of the most stubborn animals. It was created by Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar who was studying desert animals. He wondered why there was no celebration of this animal, known for their resilience and their ability to bear lots of weight while moving nimbly across various terrain. In addition, they can graze on overgrown vegetation, great for combating wild fires.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that feature donkeys: A Old Western gang member trying to retire peacefully, an Egyptian warrior out for revenge, and an open world of survival. With each original track, there’s also a cover or remix that follows.
Settle in and have a ride on a burro…

Buck Bumble
[Episode 46] This month, barSILENCE is buzzing as we bump to the bass of the soundtrack to Buck Bumble on the Nintendo 64!
The now-infamous main theme has taken on a life of its own, reaching a meme-like status that has followed the game ever since its 1998 release.
Backed by the technical pedigree of Argonaut Software, composer Justin Scharvona channeled the London Speed Garage scene so authentically that Buck Bumble could truly stand as a legitimate entry in the genre. Not just the soundtrack to a game about a cyber bee.
Are you ready?
Because RIGHT ABOUT NOW it's time to rock with the biggity Buck Bumble!

Dragon Quest has had 11 mainline games, tons of spinoffs and ports galore. It’s a franchise known for ushering in the foundation of the Japanese Role Playing Game, or the JRPG. Originating on the Famicom in the mid 1980s, the game saw not one but FOUR games release on Nintendo’s first console. In this episode, we’ve decided to focus on the first three, known as the Erdrick Trilogy. With good friends and patrons of the show on board, Ryan and Cam, we were in good hands as Mike and Justin know very little. Now we’re blessed by two pros joining us to share their knowledge and music choices in this classic trilogy of games. Covering not just the NES originals but other ports as well, the XVGM Radio guys get down with the charming classical wonder of Koichi Sugiyama’s Dragon Quest (or Warrior if your nasty!) soundtracks. JRPG fans do NOT wanna miss this episode of XVGM Radio! We swear, it’ll be a GOOd time!

Episode 223: I’ve Got Gamer Flu (Phone in Sick Day)
The Episodes Call of Duty: Black Ops II Elden Ring Halo 3 Phone in Sick Day vgm
Be honest, you’ve done it at least. You called your boss and HR and stated that you’re unable to come into work because you’re sick. Perhaps you are sick with a flu or a cold, or you have to stay home to take care of a family member that is sick. However, you called in sick because you’re playing hooky: Your favorite sports team won the national series and is having a parade; there’s fresh snow in the mountains two hours away; there’s an anime convention going on.
For gamers, they call in sick because a new game is launching at midnight at your favorite retail store. They wait in line, queued up for the store’s opening. Some may have stopped by the grocery or convenient store with snacks and drinks. Some are wearing clothes of their favorite game. There may even be someone playing an OST by a game from the series.
This week, we’re celebrating “Phone in Sick Day”, originally created as a movement against the workplace culture: long hours, stress, and corporate pressure. For this episode, we’re playing tracks from video games which had people and gamers call in sick: an all-out war between humanity and two alien entities, a mission to rescue a friend that brings a soldier out of retirement, and a warrior caught in a war between demigods. We also have covers and remixes to follow.
Fire up the console or computer tower, grab the blanket from the bed, and place those drinks and snacks nearby, after making sure you called in sick…
“Gamers Get Their Hands on Halo 2”
“Records sales – then ‘Halo flu'”
“‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ perfects perfection”
“Could ‘Call of Duty’ mean absences from work?”
“Take The Day Off to Play Elden Ring, Says Japanese Game Studio”

LMH Mixtape #292: Orchestral Music
16-bit 8-bit best vgm famicom game boy genesis mega drive nes pc engine snes turbografx video game music podcast
Surprisingly, until this point, The Legacy Music Hour had never done an episode focused on orchestral music. They'd done some RPG episodes, and that could almost count, but not really. Whether quiet and peaceful or loud and bombastic, orchestral music can really help set the tone for an emotional scene or an all out brawl. We've got woodwind, string, brass and percussion[RERUNS] Ch. F - "Backtracks - THE OTHER 50!" (orig rel 04/28/2020)
2026 Show Notes Addendum:
To round out our second (and final) visit to the realm of backwards VGM (and very closely related non-VGM) on Nerd Noise Radio, let's replay the 2020 original series, which was also a two-parter, but instead of being two "equal billing" parts, it was a one part "episode proper" and then a supplemental Ch F "F-isode" bonus. In addition to being one of my all-time favorite projects to work on in show history, the series also marked an important turning point in show history as the first installment was our last ever NNR broadcast on the main feed to be produced in GarageBand on MacOS (except for the deliberate call-back that was C1E75 in 2023), and the F-isode was my first ever production in Audacity and Ardour in Linux (then Ubuntu Studio (KDE), now, Fedora (GNOME)). Original Show Notes below are largely faithful to the original with one MASSIVE exception: the tracklist is now populated with all the relevant track info, where it was originally withheld to keep the mystery and mystique alive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Show Notes (modified to show track names on 04/20/2026):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are tuned to Nerd Noise Radio – Channel F. Today’s “F-isode” is significant not only for being only the second F-isode we’ve had in over a year, when they used to be quite a bit more common, but is also significant for being the first ever production of Nerd Noise Radio of any type to be produced entirely on Linux. Historically, the show has been produced on Mac. With a small backlog of previously-produced, but not-yet-released music blocks that were, of course, produced on the Mac still in reserve for future episodes, it will be some time yet before the Mac presence fades from the show completely. But it is my hope to do the lion’s share of future all-new production on Linux moving forward. So, the shift will be a glide, rather than a snap. But that shift starts...here.
Longtime listeners of the show will know full well what a Channel F F-isode is, but a pair of really beautiful things happened early this month which will have brought new attention to the show, from faces as near and dear as my fellow Des Moinesers (and surrounding communities), to as far-flung as Linux fans all the world over. For an explanation of what Channel F is, and how it relates to Nerd Noise Radio as a whole for the newcomers, as well as the details of who and what the new faces are, and how all that came about, see below. Also, for a descripton of how this F-isode relates to our April Fool’s episode, “Backtracks”, see the blog....or just sit, back, relax, and enjoy, as you listen to.....”The OTHER 50”! Timestamps provided, but track details withheld for now in case anyone wanted to play the guessing game on the tracks. A follow-up blog post on April 30th will provide the entire track list information for both Backtracks and for today’s outing. So, be on the lookout for that. In the meantime, enjoy!

Total Episode Runtime: 02:28:13
About the new faces: Jeff Pitts of Des Moines Cityview Magazine did a mini-vignette on four local podcasters, and reached out to me to be one of them. The mini-article appears in the April Issue of the magazine which can be viewed online (Link below). In addition to that, Jason Evangelho, a tech-writer for Forbes Magazine who focuses on Linux very generously boosted my tweets about my first production in Linux, which went on to become the most liked and retweeted tweet in my history on the platform. I make it a point to look at “the numbers” as little as possible, so I don’t know how many (if any) of the new faces stuck around. But certainly a number of them at least had a peek. If you are a new face, either brought to the show through the Cityview article, or through Jason’s buff of my tweet, get a hold of me to let me know you’re here!
Presuming we did have at least a few stick around, I should give an explanation of what Channel F is, relative to Channel 1, and Archive Super Bonuses, so you know how this show works. I will do so at length on the blogspot version of this episode, where the blog format is more accommodating of lengthiness. But I will give you a brief overview here:
Channel 1: This is “the show proper”. These are “the actual episodes”. On average, 10 fresh episodes a year (with reruns to fill in the blanks). Other than extraordinary circumstances, they follow a standard “enhanced mixtape” format: a short, semi-standard intro, and standard housekeeping outro bookending a winding, twisting journey through sound. We have had quite the spate of non-standard “Channel 1” Episodes of late though, so for the newcomers, I wanted to stress what “normal” looks like. We don’t anticipate having anything else non-standard for several months moving forward.
Channel F: This is my side-outlet for bonuses, betas, extras. It can be virtually anything. And additional mixtape music block (like today), but has been all sorts of things. We even had one that was an exposition on a certain episode’s outro. Anything that doesn’t fit in Channel 1, but that I still want to have full attention (podcast feed, blog, social media, Archive.org, etc) becomes a Channel F “F-isode”.
Super Bonuses: These are for the times where I have something that I felt was worth producing, and felt was worth putting out there, but did not want to clog up the podcast feed, or the blog, or social media with. Generally, it takes the form of remixes and twists on existing content. Since they only come out on Archive, and not anywhere else, and since they’re not really advertised, this creates a nice “underground” quality to them. I usually drop hints inside Episodes and F-isodes if there are any Super Bonuses planned. But beyond that, a person just needs to know to be on the lookout. They will release even less consistently than F-isodes, but will also tend to be in bursts around certain episodes that are rich for alternate twists on their content.
See the blogspot version of this episode if you’d like to know more about these. Link below. Meanwhile, our next all-new episode is planned for August, though I do have some really great reruns lined up for the months between. Even those will still constitute much more of a “return to normalcy” for the show than what our past several months of fresh content offers, so a great chance to “get to know us” I hope you will enjoy! We also have a secondary podcast feed which is dedicated entirely to reruns, which will feature reruns different than the ones on the main feed, if you wish to explore even more Nerd Noise Radio history. It can be found on your podcatcher of choice by the name “Nerd Noise Radio Reruns”.
Cheers!

The Episodes Gamer Flutist vgm
April ends in six days, which means it’s time for out special episode of “On Stage Now”, and this month’s musician is Gamer Flutist.
Gamer Flutist, who also goes by Marianne, is a professional flutist of several instruments (flute, piccolo, and alto flute) who has been playing since the age of 10. A majority of her covers are JRPGs from such series as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. In addition to her multi-track solos, she has also collaborated with other musicians. Her YouTube channel spans five years back, and I must say there plenty to listen.
Sit back and enjoy the melodious tones by Gamer Flutist…

To round out our second (and final) visit to the realm of backwards VGM (and very closely related non-VGM) on Nerd Noise Radio, let's replay the 2020 original series, which was also a two-parter, but instead of being two "equal billing" parts, it was a one part "episode proper" and then a supplemental Ch F "F-isode" bonus. In addition to being one of my all-time favorite projects to work on in show history, the series also marked an important turning point in show history as the first installment was our last ever NNR broadcast on the main feed to be produced in GarageBand on MacOS (except for the deliberate call-back that was C1E75 in 2023), and the F-isode was my first ever production in Audacity and Ardour in Linux (then Ubuntu Studio (KDE), now, Fedora (GNOME)). Original Show Notes below are largely faithful to the original with one MASSIVE exception: the tracklist is now populated with all the relevant track info, where it was originally withheld to keep the mystery and mystique alive. Lastly: in case anyone is wondering what on earth is happening in the outro: I figured since it would be backwards, and nobody would ever hear it forward unless they either took the initiative to reverse the file themselves, or else find the [quote] "UNBACKED" version on Archive.org, they'd never know what on earth was being said, I decided to forego the standard outro script, and just go nuts. I read a chocolate chip cookie recipe I found online on the spot, and included snippets from every previous episode blooper reel in show history to that point as well as various other sound clips, such as slow-mo vids of my kids, and fresh snippets provided by my brother-in-law Brian Peterson. Anyway, that's what's happening in the outro. I wanted it to be as preposterous and baffling and chaotic as possible!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Show Notes (modified to show track names on 04/20/2026):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is C1E52 for Wayback Wednesday, April 1st, 2020. It’s April 1st, dear listeners, and we haven’t had a retrospective in AGES! In such dark, uncertain days as we face today, it’s extra important to have a look back at brighter, clearer, saner days as a reminder that as the wheel of time continues to churn, we will inexorably find our way back.
So, sit back and relax as we travel back through 2hrs 25min, and 56 sec of Nerd Noise History and Nostalgia on a program we’re calling “Backtracks”.
It is certain to be an experience unlike any other!

April 2026 Special Announcement
Discussion of what remains on the roadmap for the remainder of the life of Nerd Noise Radio, the "what's definite", the "what's possible", and a proposed middle ground, if I don't have enough time for the maximum, but more than enough time for the minimum.This special announcement is intended to give listeners a heads up for what the end of NNR might look like, so that it's not a jarring, sudden, potentially traumatic event for them, as the sudden closure of certain other shows in history had been to me.
Background Music: Repose - from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment: Nintendo Switch 2 - Keiichi Okabe, Ryuichi Takada, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Oliver Good, Keita Inoue, and/or Taichi Joraku
Episode 221: Crazy for Bats! (International Bat Appreciation Day)
The Episodes Aero the Acro-Bat bat Bloody Roar 2 Freedom Planet 2 International Bat Appreciation Day vgm
When someone mentions bats, it goes one of two ways: they are feared and looked at with disgust, or they are admired and thought to be cute. Most people see bats as as nuisance, believed to be blood hungry and spread diseases. Some even think that they morph into vampires. However, those that know appreciate these creatures of the night for their contribution.
Today on April 17th, we are celebrating International Bat Appreciation Day, a day to appreciate bats and see that they help humans. Bats navigate their environment by echolocation, listening to the echoes of their sounds. As insectivores, they consume lots and lots of insects, including those that carry diseases. Bats are help pollinate plants, similar to butterflies and bees. There are some states that have a state bat, recognizing their existence and contribution.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that have bats: a batty circus star rescuing his girlfriend, an mysterious person who can morph into a bat during a fight, and a reporter for a planet in danger from a robotic army. There’s also covers and remixes to follow these tracks.
Time to enjoy these tracks and learn a thing or two about these creatures of the night…

Episode 220: Fore! (Golfer’s Day)
The Episodes golf Golfer's Day Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf Neo Turf Masters PangYa! vgm
Let’s tee up with our bag of clubs and balls and celebrate Golfer’s Day, on April 10th.
Golfer’s Day simply celebrates the sport of golf, with its roots going back to Scotland during the late Middle Ages. It was initially an aristocratic activity but a royal charter established in 1552 allowed townspeople in St. Andrews to play in the links. This day also happens to be date that the Professional Golfer’s Association (PGA) was established back in 1916; that means this year the PGA is celebrating its 110 anniversary.
For this week’s episode, we’re going to play tracks from golf video games: one of the first golf video games endorsed by a professional golfer, a game was exclusive to the company brand, and an online golf game with a funny name. We’re also playing covers and remixes with these original tracks.
Whether it’s the front 9 or the back 9, enjoy these tracks as you make your way to the 19th hole.

Episode 219: The Joy of Gaming (National Inspiring Joy Day)
The Episodes Counter-strike 2 joy National Inspring Joy Day The Elder vgm World of Warcraft
Marie Kondo is famous for one question when cleaning out one’s items: Does this spark joy in my life?
Video games may not be the first thing that sparks joy for most people, but they are beloved for those that play them, either to completion to until they are no longer viable. It was a certain cutscene or dialogue that touched our minds and hearts, a character that was personally relatable, or a story which became ingrained in memory. It was also the people encountered online that encouraged, cheered, and lifted you up in your low moment. These are what sparked the joy in gaming.
This week, we’re celebrating National Inspiring Joy Day by talking about some stories of joy and playing some tracks for certain video games: a Elder Tauran residing in Thunder Bluff, a CS2 gamer who was lifted after being wrongfully kicked out of a match, and a shire to a brother who passed away. There’s also covers to follow each of these tracks.
As you listen to these tracks, think about the games you’ve and sparked joy…

Episode 295: Famicom
best vgm famicom nes video game music podcast
This episode is a console focus, namely on the Famicom. And with that, it's all Japanese-exclusive game releases. Let's see what variety of music the Famicom can produce -and you can bet that variety becomes more pronounced when certain games have special sound chips involved. Aside from the tunes, Brent helps Rob practice acting like an alien for an upcoming audition.“kcartkcaB tsaL ehT” : pt - 2 .lov skcartkcaB [F .hC]
Part 2 of a 2 part series.
Okay, pt 1 turned out to be a backwards episode after all, didn’t it (who could’ve predicted?!) But that doesn’t mean that pt 2 has to be that too, right? Maybe pt 2 will be about VGM which uses the fibonacci sequence to reinforce fourier operations in Fortnite. Or maybe a sob story about how a chip shortage on the YM2612 is resulting in poachers hunting and killing Sega Genesis…es… to harvest their YM2612 chips for boutique jewelry. Or heck, maybe it’s just the Excitebike soundtrack. I guess you’ll just have to find out, won’t you?

And with that, we hope you have enjoyed Nerd Noise Radio’s final foray into the April Fool’s series. Special outro music is First time Setup from the Switch 2 - composed by Kazumi Totaka (and might I add, one of the biggest teases in the history of video games for Switch 2 adopters like myself who still missed the music-filled Wii and WiiU system suites and were given a little jolt of false hope by it for the new system).
Here is a link to a document which contains details (and links) on every previous NNR April Fools outing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2I0F04kBy4vEAKLAfY3QrIEHVvr9uOIuTJBepoI39c/edit?usp=sharing
As well as this link to the spreadsheet I used to plan out these two episodes (apologies for the partially corrupted data. I’m not even sure how that happened). :-D

NOTE: I had intended to pull from not just “St. John” episodes, but from every best-of episode 2019-2025, but ran into my 100 before even getting to the non-St. John episodes. I’ll include reversed copies of each mixtape (both used and unused) on this spreadsheet as SUPER BONUSES over on Archive as well as “Backtracks UNBACKED” and “Backtracks - Back-to-Front”. So you can hear everything I heard in the process of putting this together.
Intro and outro recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp through the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux.

Definitely not another backwards episode. Nope. No sir. Uhuh. Just six years esion tseb eht fo. [editor: who did that?!]

Mixtape Runtime: 03:06:51 / Total Episode Runtime: 03:21:24 Our now customary April Fool’s episode outro music is Malo Mart, from LoZ: Twilight Princess on GameCube, Wii, and WiiU (and maybe eventually, Switch 2) composed by Tōru Minegishi, Asuka Hayazaki, and/or Kōji Kondō. Special thanks to St. Jodee, St. August, and St. Wyatt for joining me in the outro. Intro was recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp for superior sound quality. Outro was recorded on AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser microphone for better ability to pick up sounds further away from the mic (important when capturing four different people standing or sitting varying distances away from it). All were recorded using the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux Pt 2 releases simultaneously to Pt 1.
Bonus Episode 05 - The Tree of Wisdom
In the Bible, chapter 4 verse 1 of the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Croatians, says “Yea, the Tree of Wisdom doth produce fruit that creates sweet tones, and unto them ye shall listen and be enlightened.” And to celebrate April 1st, which is called Wisdom Tree Day after this Bible verse and definitely not celebrated as any other kind of holiday, we’ll be listening to songs from Wisdom Tree, a developer that specialized in Christian games.
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

It’s a little late, but we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s day sort-of with an episode based on luck! That means every word Pernell says is determined from a dice roll! We speak sandwich tomorrow La-Mulana skittles! But really we’re digging into games where luck, or what sometimes feels like luck, plays a huge part of the gameplay. But Rob got lazy and looked at casino games. We hope you enjoy the jams!

Episode 217: The Signs in the Sky (Astrology Day)
The Episodes astrology Astrology Day Final Fantasy Tactics Genshin Impact vgm Virgo Versus the Zodiac Zodiac
The stars are a sight to behold on a clear, dark night. The constellations they form have their own backstory, and somehow, they seem to have some involvement with people’s lives. As such, astrologists and readers of fate have interpreted these stars in relation to a person and their personality.
Today, we’re celebrating Astrology Day, on March 20th, dedicated to showing the positive aspect of astrology and stir an interest in the stars and planets. This day coincides with the start of the spring equinox, the start of the astrological year when the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. It’s also a time for reflection and renew, refreshment and beginnings.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that feature or use astrology in some form: a war between two factions as seen by a certain individual, a Holy Queen attempting to bring the Golden Age, and a traveler’s companion who reads the stars. We also have covers, remixes and arrangements along with these original tracks.
Sit back, look up, and admire the shiny stars and ponder how they may affected your life…

Over here, we saved a seat for you! Right here, between Rob and Pernell. We hope you don't mind we're chatting through the previews! We get a little nostalgic for the kid-adventures and antics we had growing up in the 90s, and Pernell puts together a list of games he wants to finish over the next 5 years. Got any ideas for him? Rob has been watching a lot of movies lately, so we talk a whole bunch about Wes Anderson for some reason. Listener has entered the chat, we'll see YOU at the movies!
