Reviews
- Meditative and insightful video game music show
Emily has a soothing, light spirited voice and she brings in top shelf composers to talk about their work. Always an intriguing listen, with the only complaint being that there can sometimes be long intervals between episodes, which might be a deal-breaker for some. When the episodes do hit, prepare yourself for great interviews and fantastic music.

Apple Podcasts5-T (Tobias)United States11 years ago - Ibland bra intervjuer av musiker inom spelindustrin
Det finns otroligt bra musiker och kompositörer inom spelindustrin, och den här podcasten har ambitionen att intervjua dem. Tyvärr är intervjuerna mycket korta, traditionella (fråga-svar-fråga-svar), och oftast relativt ointressanta. Istället för att prenumerera på podcasten, leta efter de intervjuer du tror du kan vara intresserad av och ladda ner endast dem.
