I'm sitting in my hotel room in Dubbo after a massive weekend on the road with Jules, reflecting on the day the Podvan became a hub for the coast's most inspiring side hustlers.First up: Dan, a man who has been a "silent partner" in the show for a year without me ever knowing his name. He's a garbo by morning and a marketplace hero by afternoon. Then, Mel drops by to explain why my energy levels might be more "giant ball of chaos" than "life force," and McKayla shares the beautiful (and goosebump-inducing) reason she's taking her scissors out of the salon and into the homes of families who need a completely different approach to a haircut. It's an episode about people starting things from the heart, over-delivering early, and the dream of turning that "little something on the side" into the main event.Fast Lane DeliveriesIn Harmony QigongSensory HairstylesWanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Pixelated Audio is back from another VGMCon in Minnesota, this time about space! Joining Gene once again from last year are Pernell from Rhythm and Pixels and Carlos from Heroes Three! We did a similar panel last year; we take a broad theme and make it educational, and then use it as an excuse to cram in all sorts of VGM examples. We had some tech issues and lost some of the recording but we were able to rescue it with a more laid back "part 2" we recorded in the hotel room as a way to fill in gaps and riff for a while. Prepare for launch on this massive double episode clocking in at almost 2 hours! We discuss space, its influence on games and computing, and a wide range of games that have a direct or sometimes tenuous link to space. We've got a ton of music this episode so we hope you enjoy it. Pardon the noise in the background, it was the best we could do with a portable recorder. If you'd like to follow along with our slides that we used during the talk, feel free to click through.

Pixelated Audio is back from a wonderful weekend at VGMCon in Minnesota! Gene was slated to represent us but along the way drummed up a party including Pernell from Rhythm and Pixels, Carlos from Heroes Three, and Thomas Kresge head of the Game Brass (check out their new album Barrel Brassed)! When in Minnesota do as the Minnesotans do, as the saying goes. We had a fun time talking about all manner of VGM related to the Midwest; the region itself, games about the area and made there, as well as composers from the area. Getting more specific we cover pinball and edutainment in some level of depth before the panel devolves into talking about Shrek, cheese, and endless trips cross country. It's a fun journey through a diverse range of VGM and we hope you enjoy the show we put together. Pardon the noise in the background, it was the best we could do with a portable recorder.
