  • Best VGM podcast!

    The Bruggemann Bros. know video game music. Thoughtful discussion about all aspects of VGM music from the technical (I know what PSG channels and FM synths are now!) to basics about why the music works with the game being discussed. You don’t have to be a musician or know anything about music to enjoy this podcast. Thanks guys!
