United States10 months ago - The best, most comprehensive, videogame music podcast… EVER
This is one of the best VGM podcasts out there. No substitutes. Brent and Rob are hilarious and Gabe is an insightful wealth of knowledge.
The mixtapes are also great for random activities and I’ve used them more than a few times on runs or working out.
You can’t go wrong, ding dong. Listen to LMH!
Apple Podcasts5Hasty GettawayUnited States3 years ago - Easy to jump in, and so rewarding to explore old episodes
A wealth of an audio catalog of mixtapes and highly informed and entertaining discussion. I’m a new listener. The deeper I dive into the years of old eps, the more I appreciate these cool people for their efforts. As a retro gamer and musician, this is priceless!
Apple Podcasts5jaketunezUnited States3 years ago - Much love for Brent, RFS, Gabe
These guys combine deep retrogaming experience with the most easygoing and unforced chemistry you can imagine. The tunes themselves are well chosen and are often hypnotic and poetic in equal measure. But I listen for the comedy content. Recommend the episode "Creed II" if you're looking for a good jumping on point.
