Nerd Noise Radio

Today's broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today's broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to not only tell us which one you like better, but whether or not the comparisons are even valid, and how strongly or weakly if so. So, in lieu of an 8th and final FaceOff Friday episode, Nerd Noise Radio is pleased to present: VibeOff Vrijdag (Vrijdag = the Dutch word for Friday). See the show notes for a link to a document which will allow you to grade me on these comparisons if you so choose!    Tracklist: Vibe-Off# - Timestamps  Track# - Track - Game - System(s) - Composer -

2025 Show Notes Amendment: I love the setup we have here where on the first day of the month, we released our final ever TwoFer Tuesday, and now, here at the last day of the month, we re-release our first ever TwoFer Tuesday! It feels like a wonder twist on "bookends". As always when re-running early episodes, please excuse the atrocious production quality. One of my favorite things looking back on the early episodes of the show is how "different, yet the same" they are. From a sound quality perspective, the differences are night and day in every aspect. But in terms of show format and events, other than missing the now customary summary introduction, and the fact that they've gradually gotten longer over the years, it's the same darned show that it's always been. And what the early episodes lack in polish and finesse and technique and maturity, they somewhat make up for in youthful exuberance and wide-eyed optimism, and a simply innocent fun. You've heard the latest and greatest of TwoFer Tuesday this month, now hear the awkward first baby steps!....different....yet the same.... Lastly, I had toyed with the idea of doing three reruns this month - today's rerun, as well as the two highlighted April Fool's episodes: 2020's "Backtracks" (where all the tracks played in reverse), and 2024's "Parallels" (where all the tracks played over top of each other all at once). But I had procrastinated, and now it's the last day of the month, and it would simply obscene of me to upload three reruns in one day. So the compromise that I settled on was to include links to them here in the show notes, in case you wanted to revisit them (or perhaps experience them for the first time). So, here are the links, Backtracks first, then Parallels. In terms of production value, Backtracks is dramatically better than today's rerun, but also dramatically lesser than our current works, whereas Parallels is very close to our current level of production : https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e52-backtracks/   https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e83-parallels/ And now, the [otherwise unmodified] original episode shownotes!

Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed.    Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:     http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss    NOTE: This episode had to be trimmed for the “Channel 1” feed to make it and Episode 3 both fit within the two hour limit for the month. The shortened version is called “Episode 4a” (C1E4a), where the full-length version is simply called “Episode 4” (C1E4).    Our episodes will also appear on our Nerd Noise Radio YouTube Channel - just search for Nerd Noise Radio, you'll find us!

2025 re-run bonus notes:   This episode is the third in a trilogy of music blocks (parts 1 and 2 were our January and February reruns). Long time listeners may already know what this trilogy is all about, but for those who don't and have been following the reruns, the introduction to this episode finally explains what the trilogy is all about.   So, the fun [for me] question: of the three music blocks in the trilogy, which did you like best (and why), which did you like least (and why), and do you or do you not think I made the right decision bumping "music block A" for "music block B" in C1E41? Let me know at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com, or by any social media outlet on which we exist. I will genuinely be curious to know what you think. Even to this day in 2025, I *STILL* don't know what to think, personally!   DISCLAIMER: the production value was worse in 2022 when the intro and outro were produced, and substantially worse in 2018 when the music block was produced. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.   ----------------------------- Original (2022) Show Notes -----------------------------   Today's broadcast is  C1E69 for Mishmash Monday, November 7th, 2022.

Music Block produced in GarageBand in macOS 10/19/2018.       IMPORTANT NOTE: The tools and techniques I used back in 2018 in producing the music block were NOT up to my current standards – including featuring less sophisticated fades, more imprecise volume level balancing, less developed track run-order sorting, and even my having used MP3s rather than WAVs in the source production, resulting in a lower-fidelity final product, and further limiting my ability to touch it up after the fact. As such, the production value of this episode will NOT be to par with our current "fresh episodes". But production values aside, the quality of the CONTENT itself, otherwise, I feel, is excellent, and well worth digging up to share with you.....I hope that you'll agree! :-)     You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.    Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022.

2025 re-run bonus notes:   This rerun is releasing on the precise 5yr anniversary of its original release - in other words, this celebration of St. John's 40th birthday, featuring his wife, both his kids, both his parents, and his brother is re-releasing on St. John's 45th birthday!   Also, it is the second of a trilogy of music blocks (the first of which was last month's rerun), which, if not already clear to long-time listeners of the show will be explained in the intro to the third track of the trilogy, which will be our March 2025 rerun. So stay tuned til next month's rerun!   DISCLAIMER 1: DEAD-NAME ALERT! August is not their birth name, and this episode was recorded prior to their self-discovery, so it uses their birth/dead name. Because of this, I checked with August prior to releasing it to make sure they were okay with it. They said they were okay with it so long as I included the disclaimer - which I would've done anyway! :-D   DISCLAIMER 2: Apologies for some of the off-color jokes and references in the blooper reel. I was not as far along in my personal transformation at the point this episode was released. There are things that made this blooper that would not have today. Therefore, please consider it a piece of history rather than an accurate representation of current perspectives.   DISCLAIMER 3: the production value was much worse back in 2020. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.   ----------------------------- Original (2020) Show Notes -----------------------------   Today's broadcast is C1E51 for Mishmash Monday, February 3rd, 2020.

Apologies for how awkward and unscripted this recording is: - The first is a repeat of the all-call, calling our listeners away from Spotify - redundant, but worth repeating! - The second is an all-call to the listeners to get me tracks (see the links below to relevant documents and/or episodes). More deets in the announcement recording!    - Also, a last-minute third announcement (again, not included in the announcement recording): now that Ch 2 is over, I've decided to resurrect the deprecated process of sharing re-runs of older episodes, like we used to do in years past. I'll plan on doing one re-run a month, though reserve the right to do more or less than that on occasion based on circumstances. The first rerun will be a separate upload, but it is the first of a trilogy of episodes, which will make sense when you hear the intro to the final of the three, which I will plan on re-running in March. Long time listeners of the show will probably know what the February and March rerun episodes will be once they see what this month's rerun is. :-)   Relevant links to announcement 2:   Document 1: All tracks featured in 2024 (this is the document to work from! Please be mindful of the color-coding):   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHzjLe8qKby_AZZclctsJGoPvYmoVuDpm2bl9tTXUV4/edit?usp=sharing   Document 2: BONUS: St. John's C1R7 selection worksheet (FYI-only! - aka “Autism in a spreadsheet!”): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q__UE95rHStobRo_iElFhYwkTK7ht_DSSJyWACF09E0/edit?usp=sharing Episode 1: C1E40: Listener Picks - vol. 1 - originally released 12/20/2018 (this is the kind of thing I want to make one more time with *YOUR* help!: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-podcast-%e2%80%9cc1e40-theme-thursday-listeners-picks-vol-1%e2%80%9d-a-super-sized-episode/   Episode 2: C1E60: Listener Picks - vol. 2 - originally released 12/23/2021 (all the outtake tracks from the C1E40 sessions - guest-starring Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio - also, apologies one more time for the atrocious sound quality on my voice track. We had to use a very lo-fi backup copy!)   https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e60-listener-pics-%e2%80%93-vol-2/   …..and that's it! Be on the lookout for our first rerun of the trilogy which should be following right behind this upload. And get ready for C1E91 - 2025's “Season 8”'s debut episode, releasing on Monday, January 27th! Cheers! -St. John   (p.s. I listened to the intro / outro / blooper of C1E40 and all the talkie portions of C1E60 (including the blooper) and even though the production quality is so much worse than what I'm doing today, I simply ache at just how GOOD the content itself is! These may have been the golden era of Nerd Noise Radio!

Well, this is it, folks - our very last episode of Channel 2, taking a long….VERRRRRRY LONG last look back through the entirety of our show's history, and featuring at least one track from every single episode! This episode really is obscenely long - just shy of 5 ½ hours! But it covers so much history, and is our way of putting a bow on everything. So we hope you will stick with us for the entire thing! Presented in a hybrid-format of Ch 2-style talkie portions and Ch 1-style mini-mixtapes, and broken up by season.  ------------------------------------------------------------   Intro Segment [00:00:00 -

This episode releases on the 8yr anniversary of his passing. For the curious, here was the great big special we did for him on the occasion of what would've been his 40th birthday in July of 2019 - called “Chandlerfest”: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest/   Here is the link to the Google Doc with the list of every Channel 2 episode in order (including the 2019 Beta).

We've been delighted to have you and to have occasionally heard from you! But while one door closes, another door remains open for a little while longer. The Channel 1 show….goes on for one more regular season and then an additional year of retrospectives! Join us again (probably early January) for C1R7 - “The Best of 2024”, and again, later in January for C1E91 - a Mishmash Monday originally planned for November of this year, but pushed back to make room for Hugues' twin episodes! Delicious VGM on Noise from the Hearts of Nerds! And wherever you are…..Fly the N!   Cheers!

Today's Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end. Today is the final “regular” (as in, “final non-retrospective” episode - and as opposed to “final all time” episode). This will be the final episode where we bring new tracks to the show, though. So it is still an ending. The theme, therefore, is ending music, on a program we're calling “...all good things…”   Track# / Track / Game / System / Composer(s) / Selected By   01) Summer Vacation - Tokyo Xanadu - Multiplatform - Takahiro Unisuga (Falcom Sound Team jdk) - Hugues Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:03 Introduction - 00:05:23 Top of Show Business - 00:06:14 The Reveal of last episode's mystery themes - 00:09:44 Discussion - 00:24:38 02) Credits - Sonic 2 - Genesis - Masato Nakamura - St. John Music - 00:30:16 Discussion - 00:33:01 03) Staff Roll - Phantasy Star III - Genesis - Ippo Takeuchi - Hugues Music - 00:35:17 Discussion - 00:37:15 04) Ending - Super Castlevania IV - SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - St. John Music - 00:42:07 Discussion - 00:44:46 05) Ending - Another World - Amiga - Jean-François Freitas - Hugues Music - 00:54:53 Discussion - 00:56:27 06) Triforce Chamber - LoZ: Link to the Past - SNES - Koji Kondo Music - 01:00:40 Discussion - 01:02:09 07) The Credits Concerto - Donkey Kong Country - SNES - David Wise and/or Eveline Fischer - Hugues Music - 01:08:45 Discussion - 01:10:43 [EDITOR's NOTE: I partially confused Vangelis with fellow Greek musician, Iasos.

Today's broadcast is C2E19 for Theme Thursday, Sept 26th, 2024. Today's theme is…..well, there are two themes, and they're both a secret. Each host has their own mystery theme - can you guess what the themes are? Today's episode is called “Mystery Flavors”.   [Production Note: more details below, but we apologize if the conversation on the opening track sounds a little more halting or broken up than usual, as if it were broken up into small chunks spaced apart. Also, this episode has an unusually long post-episode bonus reel.

So, the only solution available to achieve BOTH starting at the right time, AND syncing to the right moment was to break the opening conversation into several small chunks and then create a little space between all of the chunks. So, that's why the opening conversation sounds the way it does. I actually had to break up the conversations on one or two other tracks too - but to so much less extreme of a degree that it's not noticeable other than on the opening conversation.   Hugues' blog can be found here:    https://huguesjohnson.com/   You can find Nerd Noise Radio on Facebook and on Twitter each @NerdNoiseRadio.

It's not 1-for-1, but the similarities are unmistakable!....and yes, yes, I chickened out of just putting it in the episode. Figured it wouldn't do to have our year-in-review episode taken off Spotify, right? Anyway, give this track til about the 01:30 mark and then the similarities to the PS5 track will just leap off the page to you - I promise!   https://youtu.be/HuhDSkJH9cc?si=PyVGgO4vd7LfNyzT "The Ames Episodes" - also: "The RE20 Episodes!"

Today's Broadcast is the entire collection of every single track featured on Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 during Calendar 2023 (Season 3). All the conversation and dialog have been scrapped, so these are music-only. 5 little mini-blocks, kinda like 5 little "mini Ch 1s with no intros or outros", all shared back to back....to back, to back, to back. C2R3 (our best of year in review episode - as in "Channel 2 Retrospective 3") is coming very soon, and today's MEGA MIX collection is meant to induce a little excitement for that! Do you think you can suss out which tracks will be chosen by each host? C2R3 will feature four tracks from each episode (one track of each host....by each host - a la HH HJ JH JJ) plus one "wildcard" track apiece - which are used as the episode bookends. NOTE 1: The tracks will be presented here in the same order in which they appeared in the original episodes, which in the case of C2E11, C2E12, C2E14, and C2E15 should all flow pretty naturally, as we do strive for at least some solid flow in the track ordering. However, since C2E13 is a focus on composers and follows the composer flow instead of the musical flow, that portion of today's journey may seem more haphazard and all over the place as a result. :-) NOTE 2: With the lone exception of C2E13, Hugues and I take perfect turns sharing tracks on the episodes, as in, like JHJHJHJ or HJHJHJHJ. But with C2E13, we were taking turns by composer, rather than by track, and we'd each pick a track from each composer, resulting in a turn order that looks more like JHHJJHHJJHHJJH. If you're interested in following along with who picked what as you listen, you're probably better served to follow the track notes for C2E13. With the others, you just have to know who's going first, but C2E13 is more complex, and would require more attention. ---------------------------------------------------------- Episode: C2E11 - "It's SPACETIME" Originally released: 03/03/2023 Episode Theme: Space Music Episode Theme by: St. John Episode Title by: St. John Opening Track: St. John Closing Track: Hugues Episode Link: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL25lcmRub2lzZXJhZGlvL2ZlZWQueG1s/episode/bmVyZG5vaXNlcmFkaW8ucG9kYmVhbi5jb20vNmE2MmZjZjctYjAyMS0zZGM4LTgzY2ItMTc1ODcwMzQxMzli?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjojaS965aDAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ Episode Timestamps: 00:00:00 - 00:42:20 Tracklist Track# - Track - Game - System - Composer(s) - Selected By - Timestamp 01) Snow on the Moon - Fantavision (NA) - PS2 - Ashif Hakik - St. John - 00:00:00   02) Moon's Surface - Dig Dug Arrangement - Multiplatform - c: Yuriko Keino / a: Unknown - Hugues - 00:04:55   03) Terran Theme 3 - Starcraft - PC - Glenn Stafford, Jason Hayes, Derek Duke, Big Tuna, and/or Tracy W.

Today's “F-isode” is a look at the fabulous chip-tribute Album, “Time and Place”, written by Adam Frazier and Elijah Moore - on a program we're calling “A Time and Place for Time and Place” - recorded on-location at the Iowa State University campus radio studio!   Tracklist   01) Blimp Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:21 Introduction - 00:02:00 Discussion - 00:06:50 02) Clear Sky Music - 00:09:43 Discussion - 00:11:54 03) Sand Castle Music - 00:16:06 Discussion - 00:18:40 04) Odyssey Music - 00:24:49 Discussion - 00:26:40 05) Wrath Music - 00:30:03 Discussion - 00:32:09 06) Magma Music - 00:38:52 Discussion - 00:40:59 07) Valor Music - 00:44:38 Discussion - 00:48:24 08) Pixels Music - 00:58:52 Discussion - 01:00:40 09) Puddle Music - 01:06:49 Discussion - 01:09:39 10) Waiting… Music - 01:12:34 Discussion - 01:14:10 11) Clouds Music - 01:22:40 Discussion - 01:25:01 12) Icicle Music - 01:31:24 Discussion - 01:34:19 13) Orbit Music - 01:40:14 Discussion - 01:42:46 14) Party Hat Music - 01:47:03 Discussion - 01:48:50 15) Below Music - 01:53:52 Discussion - 01:56:03 16) Searching… Music - 02:01:23 Discussion - 02:04:12 17) Credits Music - 02:07:45 Discussion - 02:12:33 Our other projects - 02:21:55 Outro [track[ Discussion - 02:23:23 Sign-off - 02:28:17 18) Outro (Co-written by Noah Moore) Music - 02:28:43 Outtakes - 02:29:28   Total Episode Runtime: 02:52:11 This episode is dedicated to the memory of Noah Moore.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCER'S NOTES: 1) the background music during the talking portions were “baked into the recording” and for whatever reason, the left channel was completely missing. I mixed it down to mono for the episode so that it would at least come out of both speakers (and would be louder in the mix), but half the track info is still missing. I typically do not produce episodes this way, but this is what I had to work with in the studio context, and was unable to do anything else about it in post. 2) Usually, each voice is recorded separately so that I can adjust levels and apply compression etc to each element individually. In the case of this recording, all three voices, as well as the background music were all on just one track, so I could not adjust individual components individually. And in addition to the problems mentioned above with the background music, St. John's mic was hotter than Adam's and Elijah's since I was sitting closer to the mic than they were. I was able to mostly correct for this in post by applying more compression / limiter / amplify passes than are usually required. I think the final results on this point are actually pretty reasonably good, and this actually had the latent benefit of only further raising the volume on the BGM as well - which had been too quiet originally. 3) This part SUPER excites me! The ISU radio studio used Electro-Voice RE20 mics, where St. John typically records using a Shure SM7B. These two mics are within $50 in price of each other, and are collectively the #1 and #2 most commonly used mics in professional radio and professional podcasting contexts. I had always wondered and worried whether or not I made the right choice going SM7B instead of RE20, and how my voice would sound on the RE20 instead. This experience gave me the opportunity to find out, and I think the RE20 sounds fantastic! The jury's still out for me on which one I actually sound BETTER on, though, because I think the SM7B sounds pretty amazing as well. So any gearheads listening to this episode and reading these notes, please listen to either C2E13, C2E14, or C2E15 to serve as a comparative to this RE20-propelled episode and let me know which sound you prefer. It seems so far to be VERY dependent upon which set of headphones / speakers on which I'm listening to them. So I could -REALLY- use some second and third opinions etc. The SM7B recordings are brighter and more “natural” sounding (since I have the SM7B's “presence boost” feature enabled - a feature which the RE20 lacks), where the RE20 recording is warmer, rounder, deeper, and has more of that great “rrraadiiiooo” sound that I've actually been chasing after this entire time. The drawbacks are that the SM7B can sound a little thin and reedy, while the RE20 can sound a little muddy and boomy. I had talked about it depending on the speaker source. On some, the SM7B sounds thin and reedy while the RE20 sounds amazing, and on others, the RE20 sounds boomy and muddy while the SM7B sounds great! So, give em both a listen, and lemme know. I'm -VERY- tempted to buy an RE20 now after this experience, but if the consensus prefers me on the $400 SM7B which I already own, then perhaps that saves me the $450! You know, perhaps I'll just buy the RE20 anyway and try recording on both at the same time in the hopes of getting a best of both when I blend them in post. 4) Unlike with typical NNR episodes, track extensions do not loop smoothly, but “hard end and hard begin” to preserve how they appear on the album. It's a clunkier-sounding experience this way, but it was done to preserve the album content. 5) In the case of most of these tracks, I was able to sync the imposed high-quality audio files from the non-speaking portions to the BGM handoff points in the speaking portions. However, there were a handful that were near-misses. I hid these as best as I could, and doubt it'll create any listening difficulties, but I did want to acknowledge them. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Links to Adam's and Elijah's works: Adam Frazier's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNNkqyHP4wS4FRcwkqN8SXA Time and Place Album (playlist): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mhsNxGzAuuV15_8cc_gU9WlzZgHJrZGoc&si=by5lcVDrknk2FV0d Spotlight ISU (Elijah's Podcast): YouTube (with Video): https://www.youtube.com/@spotlightisu8022 Spotify (Audio-Only): https://open.spotify.com/show/4eEa7zaNA1YHhmUNxzo4fw?si=ec4bef01e95445cd Spotlight Episode 77 - featuring St. John of Nerd Noise Radio* Spotify (Audio-only):    https://open.spotify.com/episode/5EDF0u5Q9LRF5pCMNqrYjN?si=0cn3oX_2RtGKuOJirGtg7A   YouTube (Audio AND Video):    https://youtu.be/9Xbcvqn4fDM?si=4aD4lKBJcG1vH-mU   * = the Spotlight episode and the Nerd Noise Radio Episode were recorded on the same day, in the same place.

In light of the recent turn of events involving Spotify, and its impact to Nerd Noise Radio in particular, the VGM podcast scene more broadly, and even music podcasts of all types, I wanted to get a special announcement up right away about what's going on, and how Nerd Noise Radio is responding. This announcement is most directly applicable to our Spotify listeners, but applicable more broadly to all listeners of Nerd Noise Radio, and even to non-listeners in the VGM podcast scene - particularly to our fellow podcasters, be they NNR listeners or not. -St. John

Apologies if anyone feels like I'm making too big of a deal about all of this, but you have to understand that this diagnosis changes EVERYTHING for me! It feels like a 43yr chapter of my life has ended and a new chapter of greater clarity, optimism, self-love, and opportunity has begun. It simply means that much to me, gang! I promise that I won't keep talking a ton about it for the rest of time - or if I do, I will do so on a separate program dedicated specifically to the subject, but I do beg you to bear with me for now, while this is all still so new for me. :-) Also, another “flip-side of the coin” situation between this and C1E79, which didn't get discussed in the episode: In a certain manner of speaking, each episode are “the first episode ever to be produced in Fedora”. The mic time on both episodes were done on “the Big Rig”, which is running Arch-Based “Garuda KDE Dr460nized”, but the rest of the production was done on laptops. In the case of C1E79, the main laptop (which had been running Arch-based Endeavor OS [KDE] at the time) was out of commission awaiting a motherboard replacement, so all the production had to be done on one of my backup laptops, where I had just so happened to be “auditioning” Fedora 38 (Gnome) at the time. I ended up liking it so much that once the main laptop was repaired, I ended up replacing Endeavor with Fedora 38 (Gnome) - which was where all the production of this episode (minus the mic-time) happened. So, in a certain manner of speaking, both episodes were a “first time on Fedora” situation. Also, just as Arch-based Linux supplanted Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros, I feel like Fedora and Fedora-based is what is next to supplant Arch. Also, I think it's official: I'm a Gnome convert. My “KDE-first” days indeed appear to be over for the time-being at least. I've even since replaced Garuda KDE Dr460nized with Garuda Gnome, but not until after all the mic recordings had been completed.] Links to Autism tests - again, DO NOT take these test results as a SUBSTITUTE for a formal diagnosis by a trained professional. On the other hand, these tests are VERY reliable, so if they do indicate you have autism, you very likely do. Therefore, the advice of St. John is to take the test results and find a professional with whom you can show and discuss them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17a6jSemcC5LO_HDqjB8iGHQcsJCMmr-1/view?usp=drive_link   Links to Autism / ADHD / AuDHD YouTube videos mentioned in the episode (as well as a few others added later - such as Illymation, Savannah Brown, Not Your Average Zebra, Proudly Autistic, and Kaelynnism).

Today's F-isode features video game music works from chipist and fellow VGM Podcaster, AJ Reyes, better known as “rayjkayj” of the VGM podcast VGMporium, and is our final contribution (of four) to MoVGM - season 2. A fifth was planned, but “man plans and COVID laughs”. Apologies also for a few “production shortcuts” used here due to the last minute nature of the production, as delayed by said interloper. Lastly, these tracks were all outtakes from C1E73 - UNKAYJ THE RAYJ!   All tracks composed and arranged by rayjkayj using VGMusicMaker, Deflemask and Sunvox. Since some of these games were unreleased, the tracklist will not list what system they released for, but which retro game sound hardware the tracks were designed around in the following format: “chip name(s) [major system(s) that used said chip]”.   TRACKLIST:   Intro - 00:00:00   Game 1: Bunny Kicker - YM2612 / SN76489 [Sega Genesis] AJ's notes - 00:05:25 Carrot Crunchin' Critters (Opening and Title Theme) - 00:07:00 See ya later Cotton Tail - 00:08:00 Game 2: Jump Rat - YM2612 / SN76489 [Sega Genesis] AJ's notes - 00:11:11 Title - 00:12:23 Intro and In-Game - 00:13:40 Game 3: No Help, No Hope - YM2612 / SN76489 [Sega Genesis] AJ's notes - 00:15:39 In-Game - 00:16:51 Radio Scene - 00:19:34 Game 4: Andarnov - YM2151 [Arcade / X68000] AJ's notes - 00:21:50 Aqua Cavern - 00:24:27 Game 5: Roadbuster Championship - YM2413 [Mastersystem FM] or SN76489 [Mastersystem PSG] AJ's notes - 00:26:38 Adrenaline Rush [FM] - 00:28:31 Break Neck [PSG] - 00:30:40 Game 6: Slime Labyrinth - HuC6280 [Turbografx16] AJ's notes - 00:33:09 Bravely Viscous - 00:35:15 Muckin About - 00:37:08   Outro - 00:38:46   Total Episode Runtime: 00:40:41   Masters of VGM can be found at www.mastersofvgm.com or on Twitter. Please visit MoVGM and check out some of the other shows. Everyone put so much time and love and energy and heart into their shows, and you may end up finding a new favorite for the commute!   VGMporium can be found on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/4dmLZz58rXVtsnw7spiqBE?si=6839ea33fc094c81 or on the podcatcher of your choice, as well as being found on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and possibly even more places. Please go check out VGMporium, and tell ‘em “St. John sent ya!”   Thanks again to AJ for sharing these track with me, and for allowing me to feature his works, now, TWICE on Nerd Noise Radio. Perhaps we'll see him here again in the future! Lastly, though I will keep the details to myself for now, be on the lookout for a St. John appearance on VGMporium sometime in the future! We have our subject planned, we just don't know when it will be yet. :-)   Cheers!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Masters of VGM Season 2 starts June 1st, and is slated to kick off with Nerd Noise Radio C1E76: "The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2". To prime the pump of excitement for MoVGM in general, as well as to offer a "compare and contrast" between the incoming, much more polished and measured and matured (and much more well-produced) sequel, and this much more enthusiastic, revolutionary, optimistic, and "heart-ful" example of early, clunky-but-exuberant NNR magic, we are re-running the original ahead of time. I am eager to receive feedback on what everyone things of vol 1 vs vol 2. I think vol 2 is "better",  but vol 1 is "more important". I also think vol 1 is more "joyful", even if more "awkward". But tell me what YOU think!! They also each contain exactly one track composed by......ME - in fact, in this original episode, it's even the opening track! Masters of VGM can be found at www.mastersofvgm.com as well as on Twitter and Discord, and perhaps also other places. NNR will be just one of some 20 or 30 different VGM podcasts. So, please check out the entire collection, and give the other great shows some love as well! :-)   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:   Today's broadcast is Episode 30 for Theme Thursday, June 14, 2018.

Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway.    Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1  ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS:     http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss    Our episodes will also appear on our Nerd Noise Radio YouTube Channel - just search for Nerd Noise Radio, you'll find us! Here's today's episode:    https://youtu.be/73kM8YsRUdU    Additionally, there are YouTube Playlists you can follow, both an "All Channels" Feed (recommended), as well as channel-specific feeds. You can find them here:    Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels Podcast Feed    Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 podcast    Nerd Noise Radio is now available on Twitch as well! Episodes 21 and forward will be uploaded as they're released, with the backlog of earlier episodes to follow.
