  • Fantastic and Underrated

    Such a great podcast! So many great composers are interviewed and the quality of the editing is phenomenal. I was legitimately surprised when I saw that this wasn’t widely known haha. Keep up the good work!

    Lee has great taste in a wide variety of VGM, but his interview skills and the guests he's able to book are really what make The Sound Test shine. Check out his weekly premier chats on YouTube!

  • Beautifully-edited presentations of insights from the composers of video gaming's best-loved titles

    Presenter Lee goes above and beyond in showcasing his interviews with composers and audio engineers in a manner remniscent of a traditional BBC radio documentary, layered over music from the titles without the heavy-handed guided back-and-forth discussions which can be found elsewhere. more

  • Great podcast!

    This podcast is very well made, and the subject of it is great. I especially loved the one about stardew valley, because that is one of my favorite games. Can’t wait until the next episode! (PS: I would really love to see Toby Fox on this podcast, if you can get him on the podcast.)
