2025 Rerun Notes: In anticipation of this month's incoming C1E99: "Listener Picks - vol 3", we are rerunning both previous installments of the Listener Picks trilogy this month!  Today's rerun is the second installment, from December of 2021 And it is less of a sequel per se, and more of an omake (that is, more of an "outtakes" episode). While vol 1 was 40 tracks long and selected by 18 contributors, their total body of contributions was not 40, but instead, an absolutely insane 100!! Well, even in 2025, we'd never do an episode 100 tracks long! Such a mixtape could possibly hit 5hrs long, which is too long even for St. John! :-D  So, what I did instead in 2018 was take the 100 and narrow it down to 40, with the 60 track remainder kept in reserve, intended for a Channel F "F-isode" to immediately follow as a bonus and feature the remaining 60. This bonus was to feature Trey Johnson of the NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio podcasts as co-host, and be in the original format of W.A.R.T. Radio as a "return the favor" tribute to Trey in return for W.A.R.T. changing formats to match the NNR format. It was also going to feature an interview with a composer, spearheaded by Trey. But schedules did not align, and so the F-isode never happened! Today's rerun, eventually released years later in 2021 as a numbered "official" Ch 1 episode is essentially what that F-isode would've been - only with no interview (scheduling conflicts). Trey would still go on to co-host with me, though. Lastly, as always: all the usual caveats about how much worse my production quality was back in 2021 than it is today, and not to judge the current state of NNR production quality by this rerun. If you are new, and this is your first exposure to NNR, and you enjoyed the content, but were put off by the production, either go back and listen to a recent episode, such as C1E98 or C1E96....or perhaps even better, keep your eyes peeled for C1E99, which is basically this all over again, but at 2025's far improved production quality standards! In fact, in this case, the situation is even worse! My side of the recording session with Trey was lost, and so we had to fallback on his side of the Zoom call for my voice, where I was using a super cheap wireless headset. So my voice quality sounds especially terrible. My apologies if any of that detracts from this otherwise excellent and joyous outing! And with that, please enjoy the very non-standard-formatted - Listener Picks - vol 2, thanks again to Trey for lending his voice and talents in joining me to make this one happen, and please keep an eye out for the trilogy's incoming 3rd (and final) installment! Cheers! -------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:   Today's Broadcast is C1E60, for Theme Thursday, December 23rd, 2021 - our final episode of our very non-standard two-year long “Season 4”. So it is fitting that we'd end such a wildly non-standard season - filled with primarily wildly non-standard content already - with such a dramatically non-standard Channel 1 episode. Today's episode abandons the customary Channel 1 “great big music block” mixtape format for a modified take on the original W.A.R.T. Radio format, featuring Trey Johnson of Nintendomain / W.A.R.T. Radio and St. John. Today's episode is also a “Lost Level”, as it was originally intended to be a Channel F bonus “F-isode” to supplement “C1E40 - Listener Picks - vol. 1” from December 2018, and was intended to release right after it, in a nearly identical presentation to what you receive today. As such, today's broadcast shall be “Listener Picks - vol. 2”. All music, other than the background music for the speaking portions was curated by listeners of the show, and are the roughly 60 remaining unused tracks from the pool of roughly 100 that were offered up for C1E40 in 2018, of which only 40 were used.    p.s. We apologize for the uncharacteristically poor audio quality on St. John's speaking voice. Details available upon request, but the short version is that John had technical difficulties on his end of the recording with "the good mic", but fortunately, we had a lower-quality backup recording on Trey's end over Zoom using St. John's built-in laptop mic. The sound quality is diminished, but the content is still preserved.     Note: All Speaking Portions originally produced in December 2021 by St. John     01: Intro     Timestamps: 00:00:00 - 00:05:18  Runtime: 05:18  Emceed by: Trey and St. John     02: Phillip Vaughn Music Block     Timestamps (Including Introduction): 00:05:18 -

Hello Adventurers! Earlier this year we took a trip out to St. Louis, Missouri to check out a most excellent Final Fantasy XIV fan convention: GATEway FATE 2.0! This was their second year and we had heard so many good things about its first year, we were really excited to try it out for ourselves. And we were not disappointed. But don't take our word for it! Wait, no… Actually do take our word for it, but in audio form! This is a podcast, after all. Spoiler Levels: Larboard/Starboard Chicken Tenders with fries “are ready to fry!” This was just one of the many delicious food options that they had in their Last Stand food stall in the convention center. And yes, we do realize that we said both “delicious food options” and “in the convention center” within the same sentence! It was just one of the many things that really impressed us about this con. (Just wait till you hear us gush about the flooring!)OSMnotesGATEway FATE 2.0 was a lot of fun, and we are very much looking forward to GATEway FATE 3.0 on October17th-18th, 2026!

rWotD Episode 3117: Earthbound Papas Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 15 November 2025, is Earthbound Papas.The Earthbound Papas are a Japanese progressive rock/metal band performing songs and interpretations of music from video games, notably including the Final Fantasy series. Nobuo Uematsu, the acclaimed composer of music in the Final Fantasy series, formed the band after his previous band, The Black Mages, disbanded in 2010. In addition to new arrangements of some Final Fantasy tracks, they have also arranged tracks from other projects that featured Uematsu as a composer and they have produced original compositions for the band's albums. In 2010, the Earthbound Papas were featured on the Distant Worlds II: More Music from Final Fantasy live orchestral release, in which they joined the orchestra for a performance of the song Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI.The band have also worked on Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory and Megadimension Neptunia VII alongside internal Idea Factory composer Kenji Kaneko.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Saturday, 15 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Earthbound Papas on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.

Throughout the planning for this episode, we jokingly used the term "Electro-Bangers," with credit to panelist Rob White, knowing full well we wouldn't use it in the end. But then we figured... why not? This episode is full of excellent electronic music and they are all bangers, so there you have it. Some are from places you'd expect like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Stellar Blade, and Shin Megami Tensei V, but others may surprise you!We were also supposed to encourage you to revisit Rhythm Encounter 119 - RPG Dance Party, but since we all got too invested in today's picks, consider THIS your reminder to listen to that episode as a followup.

Final Fantasy 12 has some devastatingly beautiful music, and only one single song on the entire soundtrack was written by Nobuo Uematsu. The rest was done by Hitoshi Sakimoto, with some additional contributions by Masaharu Iwata. While we all miss Nobuo Uematsu, Hitoshi Sakimoto absolutely nailed it on this soundtrack. It's incredible! Mike and Casen come out of this episode with an even higher opinion of this OST and a greater excitement to dive back into the game in the possibly near future.... **We're Now On Spotify**: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gIzzvT3AfRHjGlfF8kFW3 **Listen On Soundcloud**: https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc **Listen On iTunes**: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/state-of-the-arc-podcast/id1121795837 **Listen On Pocket Cast**: http://pca.st/NJsJ Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/resonantarc Subscribe Star: https://www.subscribestar.com/resonant-arc Twitter: https://twitter.com/resonantarc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/resonantarc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resonantarc TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resonantarc

Hello Adventurers! Did you know that Final Fantasy XIV is the fourteenth mainline Final Fantasy game? It's true! In fact there were a whole thirteen other games that came before it, if you can believe it. So for this episode, we are talking about the first three. But it's been a minute since some of us (Basil) has played the first three games, and we needed some help. Some fresh eyes on these games, some eyes that really know how to grind out some gear. If you haven't figured it out yet, our special guests for this episode are none other than Garrett and Kyle from Grinding Gear! Spoiler Levels: Chicken Fettuccine “Flat, thick pasta smothered in a rich cream sauce with tender slices of chicken thigh.” This food that offers bonuses to Critical Hit, Vitality, and Skill Speed was introduced in patch 5.4 Futures Rewritten during the Shadowbringers expansion and also included the Matoya's Relict dungeon! You know, Matoya! From Final Fantasy (I)!OSMnotesOnce again we want to think Garrett and Kyle for joining us! Have you heard of them before? They're on YouTube!

Nobuo Uematsu, Final Fantasy … Podría no añadir nada para comprender ante lo que estamos. Absoluta leyenda de la historia del videojuego. El compositor sin cuyo trabajo no sólo Final Fantasy, sino otras composiciones que llevan su influencia, pues no serían lo mismo… Uematsu-San , el Beethoven de la música de videojuegos, ha pasado por la Comic-Con Málaga donde actuó con su banda TIKI y tenemos también a su cantante y lectora de textos Rie Tozuka . ¿Cuál es su BSO favorita de todas las que ha hecho Uematsu? Te sorprenderá la respuesta… Una conversación legendaria que complementamos con otra leyenda, el compositor Óscar Araujo que, con sus composiciones de Castlevania: Lords of Shadow o la más reciente, Blades of Fire de Mercury Steam, ha llevado la música sinfónica para videojuegos a nuevos niveles en un trabajo premiado y aclamado por crítica y público. Hablamos de su personal y profundo proceso creativo.Y con Duque de Champán hoy , de nuevo, abandonamos Comic-Con y nos centramos en cómics musicales….Escuchar audio

Today we highlight a composer and games that don't often appear on the show. Naoshi Mizuta's music credits span 30 years, and much of that time has been with Square Enix leading the charge on Final Fantasy XI's soundtrack. That Final Fantasy XI, which launched in 2002 on PC and the PlayStation 2 (TWO!), is still running today is a feat in itself. But so are Mizuta's continued efforts to create music for it and many other games over that time. Today we feature several different types of FFXI tracks among other great works by this talented composer and arranger.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Audra Bowling, Patrick Gann; Edited by Jono LoganTracklistThirteensies0:13:11 - Eternal Winds - The Dead Dunes (English Ver.)

Storie di Videogame ora è anche un LIBRO! Acquista qui il primo volume: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/SdVITOMI⁠⁠⁠ ************* La storia dello sviluppo di Final Fantasy è una di quelle che pensiamo di poter più o meno immaginare e, perlomeno nelle sue premesse, appare abbastanza classica per l'epoca. Una piccola azienda di sviluppo di videogiochi scommette su un suo talento e trova la proverbiale gallina dalle uova d'oro. Eppure, la vera storia dello sviluppo di Final Fantasy è infinitamente più complessa, imprevedibile e divertente. Cosa c'entra un negozio di parrucchiere per signora a Yokohama? Chi l'avrebbe mai detto che per un periodo lo sviluppo della saga di Final Fantasy si sia spostato, all'insaputa di tutti, nel cuore della California? Scopriamo insieme come Hironobu Sakaguchi, l'amico d'infanzia Hiromichi Tanaka, il timido compositore Nobuo Uematsu, il geniale programmatore iraniano Nasir Gebelli e un manipolo di altri giovani sviluppatori abbiano scritto insieme la storia del videogame. Tutto questo e molto altro nella storia dello sviluppo di Final Fantasy I-IV.

Hello Adventurers! Well, here we are again. There has been a brand new patch, and we are here to talk about it all! Well… at least a lot of it, anyroad. We cover some of the less spoiler-y parts of patch 7.3 The Promise of Tomorrow, before really digging into spoilers talking about the MSQ, dungeon, the trial, and more! That more includes a bunch of things that has just happened, but also things that are happening right now… But also in the future? This podcast contains multitudes, and we welcome you to come listen.Spoiler Levels: DAM! This rainbow energy beverage will allegedly bestow the drinker with metaphorical fangs to gnaw through any challenge and do their DAM-dest. Excessive consumption is ill-advised… But only if you haven't filled yourself up with all that Patch 7.3 MSQ goodness! If it is the case that you have, you're free and clear to listen away.

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we're releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”)  series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd) is just one of, this time, four contributions we made to the series that year. I'll share links to the other three below, as well as two other bonus links which are acutely relevant to two of them (as well as to C1E96, our “fresh episode” from last month). The Theme of 2023's MoVGM was sort of the opposite of the year prior. 2022's theme was a celebration of “big named composers”, like Yuzo Koshiro or Nobuo Uematsu, or The Follin Brothers and so on. Names that probably EVERYBODY already knows, 2023's theme was “unsung and undersung composers”. Names that were not nearly as well-known as they should be. And so, our Channel 2 contribution followed the same format and design philosophy of our 2022, only with the opposite theme. It's a little longer, though, because in addition to the same “four and four” as before, we added a ninth and final pair - tracks by unknown composers”. Production notes on this episode relative to the 2022 rerun: by this time, two major changes had happened: 1) I had upgraded from the $100 RODE Podmic I had been using to the current $400 Shure SM7B that I use today, and 2) I had started actively editing out “Umm”s from our conversation. I can't guarantee that I caught every single one of them. But they'll certainly be much less present and much less invasive. It still won't rise to the level of a 2025 production (and sounds a little worse with the SM7B's presence boost turned on at the time, which I've since turned off), but it comes appreciably closer than C2E8. Links to the other 2023 Nerd Noise Radio MoVGM contributions: C1E76: “The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2” (originally released 06/01/2023 - the episode which kicked off MoVGM 2023 at large): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e76-the-big-sound-of-the-little-guy--vol-2   Ch F: “Highlights from ‘Stray'” (originally released 06/29/2023): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-highlights-fromstray-masters-of-vgm   Ch F: Composer Mini-Focus: rayjkayj (originally released  07/26/2023 - also, this might've been the final MoVGM 2023 episode as well, meaning, I might've gotten to provide both “bookends” to that year's celebration!) https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-composer-minifocus-rayjkayj-masters-of-vgm   Lastly, two bonus links which relate to the above: 1) C1E30: Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 1 (originally released 09/14/2018 - apologies for the atrocious production quality and anemic intro, but the music collection itself is GREAT!) - not only is this obviously relevant to C1E76 above, but it's also relevant to last month's C1E96, which was (unofficially, but for all intents and purposes) “Big Sound of the Little Guy vol 3”: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/nerd-noise-radio-channel-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-podcast-c1e30-the-big-sounds-of-the-little-guy-vol-1   2) C1E73: “UNKAYJ THE RAYJ” (originally released ) - guest-hosted by rayjkayj himself, the above minifocus on rayjkayj was comprised of outtakes from this original episode: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e73-unkayj-the-rayj …and with that, I'll leave you with C2E13: “Songs of the Unsung” (originally released 07/06/2023) - a title which I came up with, and if we're being honest, I'm probably WAY too proud of!). :-D Enjoy!   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today's broadcast, for Theme Thursday, July 6th, 2023 is an episode of the Masters of VGM - season 2 (www.mastersofvgm.com) and is a focus on music from unsung and undersung composers - on an episode we're calling “Songs of the Unsung”.   Tracklist:   01) John's 1st composer (of 4): C418 (aka Daniel Rosenfeld)   John's Track: Dreiton - Minecraft - Multiplatform Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:07 Introduction - 00:08:16 Top of the Show pt 1 - 00:09:12 Discussion - 00:12:00 Top of the Show pt 2 - 00:14:19 Hugues' Track: Enforcer Brittanica - Catacomb Snatch - PC Music - 00:28:44 Discussion - 00:32:23   02) Hugues' 1st composer: Takahiko Abe   Hugues' Track: Templo del Sol - Asuteka II - PC88 Music - 00:37:18: Discussion - 00:39:31 John's Track: Machi - Susanoou Densetsu - PC Engine Music - 00:46:36 Discussion - 00:48:24   03) John's 2nd composer: Soichi Terada   John's Track: Subspace 2 - Fantavision 202X - PC Music - 00:56:06 Discussion - 00:59:27 Hugues' Track: TV Tower - Ape Escape on the Loose - PSP Music - 01:03:30 Discussion - 01:06:54   04) Hugues' 2nd composer: Katsumi Tanaka   Hugues' Track: Memories of Puyo Puyo - Puyo Puyo CD - PC Engine Music - 01:11:09 Discussion - 01:13:25 John's Track: Black Hole Anomalies - Space Megaforce - SNES Music - 01:19:17 Discussion - 01:21:41   05) John's 3rd composer: Hikoshi Hashimoto   John's Track: Zena Lan (Heavily Armored) - Cosmic Carnage - 32X Music - 01:23:57 Discussion - 01:25:50 Hugues' Track: Halftime - Pat Riley Basketball - Genesis Music - 01:31:15 Discussion - 01:31:47   06) Hugues' 3rd composer: Toshio Murai   Hugues' Track: Office  Theme - Wall Street Kid - NES Music - 01:37:29 Discussion - 01:39:16 John's Track: Stage 6 - Cyber Core - PC Engine Music - 01:43:31 Discussion - 01:45:01   07) John's 4th composer: Joris de Man   John's Track: Eternal Conceit - Horizon Forbidden West - PS4 / PS5 Music - 01:48:22 Discussion - 01:53:09 Hugues' Track: Violet's Theme - Black Belt Challenge - GBA Music - 02:02:56 Discussion - 02:04:59   08) Hugues' 4th composer: Yoshihiko Miyazaki   Hugues' Track: Search Break - JB Harold Murder Club - PC88 Music - 02:10:56 Discussion - 02:12:43 John's Track: Dream of the Murder - Manhattan Requiem - LaserActive Music - 02:18:37 Discussion - 02:21:011   09) BONUS: “Unknown composers”!!!   John's Track: Login Screen - N/A (System Music) - PS5 Music - 02:24:25 Discussion - 02:27:28 End of show discussion - 02:31:12 Masters of VGM shout-out - 02:34:26 Closing track Discussion - 02:36:13 Sign-off - 02:39:39 Hugues' Track: Track 5 - Hyper Catalog - PC Engine Music - 02:39:48 Masters of VGM earcatcher (feat.

Hello Adventurers! Over these past couple of months, some of us have reignited with an old collectible card game flame (and some of us are brand new to it)! That flame of a card game is Magic: The Gathering, and we're playing it all thanks to it's latest expansion: Final Fantasy! All sixteen mainline games are represented, which includes the critically acclaimed MMORPG that this podcast is all about. So here is an episode all about it. We talk about what cards we like, what it was getting back into it, how well it works as a Final Fantasy thing that's also a Magic: the Gathering thing, and the perils of buying card games that are also collectible. Spoiler Levels: Food Token! 2 Colorless Mana, Tap, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life. Feel free to chow down on this episode that's full of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy, but pretty light on spoilers. OSMnotesIf you are interested into looking more Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy yourself, here's a link to Magic's website for it.

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the ultra long-winded] Normally, we only share one rerun a month at Nerd Noise Radio. But due to the confluence of a) our having missed the May rerun completely, b) our not getting a June rerun out until the very end of the month, and c) a very important thematic connection to an event currently happening in the VGM podcast scene this month, I'm releasing…..not one……not two……not four…..but THREE reruns in July! From 2022 through 2024, the greater VGM podcast community participated in a glorious group experiment called “Masters of VGM” (or “MoVGM” for short - I think I might've even been the one to coin the shorthand…..maybe), where a master theme was decided upon by the community, and then every participating podcast would do an episode, or a handful of episodes in keeping with the crowdsourced theme. Nerd Noise Radio participated all three years - with a Channel 2 in 2022, a Channel 1 in 2024, and in 2023, with a whopping FOUR installments where we had a Channel 1, a Channel 2, and two Channel Fs. Channel F, for the new faces in the crowd is our mechanism for betas, and bonuses, and things which just don't fit the mold for a regular episode. Channel F is “format agnostic” and does not have any sort of regular release cadence whatsoever. So, “F-isodes” as I call them (and am probably WAY too proud of myself for that), can be just whatever, and come out just whenever. The people who devised and oversaw MoVGM have largely significantly reduced their presence in the podcast scene over the past couple years, and so had elected to not continue MoVGM into 2025. However, a handful of us, Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself have decided that, while not formally reviving MoVGM, we were going to do something of our own, in that same spirit. While the name hasn't been officially finalized as of this writing on July 2nd, and could still change, the “working title” (that will very likely become the final title), which was proposed by Professor Tom is “VGM Hall of Fame” I'll go ahead and dub it “HoF” for short. Naturally, we're trying to also inspire other podcasters to join us so that it is not just we three, but at the very, very least, there will be an HoF episode from all of us on the theme of “a soundtrack that belongs in a theoretical “VGM Hall of Fame” (hence the name). Nerd Noise Radio's contribution to this will be a Channel 1 featuring the Super Metroid soundtrack (C1E97). If I have the time, and the mental energy, I might also supplement this with an F-isode on a much more obscure soundtrack that begs to enjoy greater awareness and celebration (Lucid 9, if it ends up happening). One other major difference between HoF and MoVGM is that MoVGM occurred in June (2023 was so big that it extended into July) where HoF will occur in July. We all wanted to do this in June, but we were all too deep into production of our respective June content at the time that we all agreed to just push it back to July instead. Anyway, over the river and through the woods, to the point I *FINALLY* get: in a bid to not only help draw extra attention to HoF and hopefully drum up a little excitement for it, among both listeners as well as other podcasters, especially prospective participants, as well as to simply celebrate some of the glory that was this remarkable moment in time for a community, this month, I will rerun our 2022 MoVGM contribution, our 2023 Channel 2 contribution, which was a sort of “spiritual sequel” to our 2022 outing (with links to our other 2023 contributions in that rerun's show notes), and finally, to our 2024 offering. And naturally, we'll start with 2022. The theme of 2022 was “which composers would you put on your ‘VGM Mount Rushmore'”? So everyone was to pick four composers. Since Ch 2 was Hugues and I, rather than picking just two, we each picked four for a grand total, of course, of eight, and then did a thing where we each picked one track from each of the eight composers (one each for our own composers, as well as one each for the other guys' composers). With this being a 2022 production, all the usual caveats about production quality differences and deficiencies. Between a lesser mic and less fully developed production techniques, the sound quality will not be up to the standards of a 2025 episode (I also hadn't started editing out the “umms” yet….apologies for that!). But it's still pretty decent. Certainly decent enough that it doesn't really feel like a barrier to enjoyment like, say, a 2018, or especially 2017 episode would be. And so, without further ado: our first of three reruns this month, the first of three to celebrate the memory of MoVGM as well as hopefully whet people's appetites for HoF: C2E8: “Our Four Favorites” - originally released 06/30/2022.   Enjoy!   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today's Broadcast is C2E8 for Theme Thursday, June 30th, 2022. Today's episode will be Nerd Noise Radio's contribution to the greater VGM podcast scene massive group project “Masters of VGM” (https://mastersofvgm.com) and like all “MoVGM” episodes from all the participating podcasts, will be a focus on our four favorite composers (with a surprise “East meets West” twist) - on a program that we're quite simply calling “Our Four Favorites”   01) Earcatcher: 00:00:00 02) Hugues' Composer #4: Yoko Shimomura!

We keep the Meet recording in case there is an emergency with the Audacity recording, but otherwise don't use it in the final episode, and I just align and combine our high quality Audacity recordings. On this episode, however, (a first for Ch 2) we lost a portion of Hugues' Audacity recording, so we did have to use our fallback a little bit. At the very bottom of the show notes, I'll include a LONG[ISH] VERSION which explains more. I did everything I could to minimize the impact of the Google Meet recording in the final episode. But it is noticeable at points.   You can find Brian and Kristen Peterson's GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/1ef0f855.
