This is a podcast by someone who really knows their stuff. Every episode is so well researched and such a joy to listen to. Keep it up
Great way to get your video game music fix. Jameson starts out with a track, then comes in for a bit of a history lesson/explanation of music theory, then back to the music.
Dude is really sincere about his passion for video game music and it comes through in the podcast. It's a must listen for fans of the video game music genre.
BarSILENCE is a fantastic podcast that celebrates all things video game music. The show sees the host talking about some of the history behind a game's music and it serves as a great behind the scenes look and offers interesting perspective on why the music can sound the way it does. Best part, much of the show is getting to listen to that music so you can see the point being made. Highly recommend for any gamer or someone who enjoys learning about good music. - Nomad
