January 19, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 120 MBFor our second rerun of the month, and our second rerun in total since the shut down of our separate, dedicated reruns feed over on Buzzsprout, I thought it would be great to share our second ever episode of the show: C1E2: "Twisted Sine" (a focus on FM synthesis-based VGM, comprised of tracks from several FM based systems, with roughly half being Sega Genesis or 32X music (YM2612), roughly a quarter being Arcade or X68000 music (YM2151), and the remaining quarter or so being a hodgepodge of...

NNR Reruns:Channel F - Nerd Noise Game Club (originally released 12/19/19)
September 23, 2021 02:16 - 2 hours - 305 MBToday's rerun was a VERY special occasion that I'm very excited to get to share anew. It was a Channel F "F-isode", originally broadcast December 19th, 2019 that at the time was intended to be nothing more than just a fun "one off" between two friends and fellow podcasters. And yet, it ended up becoming something so much more than that. Though not intended to be at the time, and though it will probably never "officially" be classified as such, it has retroactively become something of a "beta...
