“Touching Stories Behind the Excitement in Gaming World”

Episode 219: The Joy of Gaming (National Inspiring Joy Day)

The Episodes Counter-strike 2 joy National Inspring Joy Day The Elder vgm World of Warcraft

Marie Kondo is famous for one question when cleaning out one’s items: Does this spark joy in my life?

Video games may not be the first thing that sparks joy for most people, but they are beloved for those that play them, either to completion to until they are no longer viable. It was a certain cutscene or dialogue that touched our minds and hearts, a character that was personally relatable, or a story which became ingrained in memory. It was also the people encountered online that encouraged, cheered, and lifted you up in your low moment. These are what sparked the joy in gaming.

This week, we’re celebrating National Inspiring Joy Day by talking about some stories of joy and playing some tracks for certain video games: a Elder Tauran residing in Thunder Bluff, a CS2 gamer who was lifted after being wrongfully kicked out of a match, and a shire to a brother who passed away. There’s also covers to follow each of these tracks.

As you listen to these tracks, think about the games you’ve and sparked joy…

Episode 295: Famicom

By Legacy Music Hour on Apr 1, 2026 8:28 am UTC

best vgm famicom nes video game music podcast

This episode is a console focus, namely on the Famicom. And with that, it's all Japanese-exclusive game releases. Let's see what variety of music the Famicom can produce -and you can bet that variety becomes more pronounced when certain games have special sound chips involved. Aside from the tunes, Brent helps Rob practice acting like an alien for an upcoming audition.

By Nerd Noise Radio on Apr 1, 2026 6:00 am UTC

Part 2 of a 2 part series.

Okay, pt 1 turned out to be a backwards episode after all, didn’t it (who could’ve predicted?!) But that doesn’t mean that pt 2 has to be that too, right? Maybe pt 2 will be about VGM which uses the fibonacci sequence to reinforce fourier operations in Fortnite. Or maybe a sob story about how a chip shortage on the YM2612 is resulting in poachers hunting and killing Sega Genesis…es… to harvest their YM2612 chips for boutique jewelry. Or heck, maybe it’s just the Excitebike soundtrack. I guess you’ll just have to find out, won’t you?

And with that, we hope you have enjoyed Nerd Noise Radio’s final foray into the April Fool’s series. Special outro music is First time Setup from the Switch 2 - composed by Kazumi Totaka (and might I add, one of the biggest teases in the history of video games for Switch 2 adopters like myself who still missed the music-filled Wii and WiiU system suites and were given a little jolt of false hope by it for the new system).

Here is a link to a document which contains details (and links) on every previous NNR April Fools outing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2I0F04kBy4vEAKLAfY3QrIEHVvr9uOIuTJBepoI39c/edit?usp=sharing

As well as this link to the spreadsheet I used to plan out these two episodes (apologies for the partially corrupted data. I’m not even sure how that happened). :-D

NOTE: I had intended to pull from not just “St. John” episodes, but from every best-of episode 2019-2025, but ran into my 100 before even getting to the non-St. John episodes. I’ll include reversed copies of each mixtape (both used and unused) on this spreadsheet as SUPER BONUSES over on Archive as well as “Backtracks UNBACKED” and “Backtracks - Back-to-Front”. So you can hear everything I heard in the process of putting this together.

Intro and outro recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp through the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux.

Pt 1 released simultaneously to Pt 2.

Bonus Episode 05 - The Tree of Wisdom

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Apr 1, 2026 5:01 am UTC

In the Bible, chapter 4 verse 1 of the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Croatians, says “Yea, the Tree of Wisdom doth produce fruit that creates sweet tones, and unto them ye shall listen and be enlightened.” And to celebrate April 1st, which is called Wisdom Tree Day after this Bible verse and definitely not celebrated as any other kind of holiday, we’ll be listening to songs from Wisdom Tree, a developer that specialized in Christian games.

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

Red McCano, host of the How Much in Bison Dollars? podcast, for letting me borrow Pastor Rick Swindoll and his informed opinions about martial arts. You can learn more about the How Much in Bison Dollars program by searching for “How Much in Bison Dollars” on your podcatcher of choice or on Patreon, and you can find Shadaloo Department of Treasury Senior Executive Vice Senior President McCano on most social media platforms as @hmibisondollars.
Pastor Thomas, for his enlightening sermon.

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads and Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can find on FGC Radio, Patreon, and most podcatchers.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

To hear some of the actual theological underpinnings of Pastor Thomas’s teaching, here are some helpful links for you.

On martial arts: https://youtube.com/shorts/iEcmxFb4pfc
On Pokemon: https://youtu.be/aHPWJ1NPhhQ
Pastor Thomas’s views on Katamari Damacy are informed by Phil Phillips’s book “Turmoil in the Toybox”, which can be found in used bookstores online.
Pastor Thomas's views on Neo Turf Masters are informed by the 16th hole on the Australian course, the 15th hole on the German course, holes 16 and 17 on the Japanese course, the second hole on the American course, and every single hole on the Scotland course.

Episode 217: The Signs in the Sky (Astrology Day)

By RE-VGM on Mar 20, 2026 7:03 am UTC

The Episodes astrology Astrology Day Final Fantasy Tactics Genshin Impact vgm Virgo Versus the Zodiac Zodiac

The stars are a sight to behold on a clear, dark night. The constellations they form have their own backstory, and somehow, they seem to have some involvement with people’s lives. As such, astrologists and readers of fate have interpreted these stars in relation to a person and their personality.

Today, we’re celebrating Astrology Day, on March 20th, dedicated to showing the positive aspect of astrology and stir an interest in the stars and planets. This day coincides with the start of the spring equinox, the start of the astrological year when the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. It’s also a time for reflection and renew, refreshment and beginnings.

For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that feature or use astrology in some form: a war between two factions as seen by a certain individual, a Holy Queen attempting to bring the Golden Age, and a traveler’s companion who reads the stars. We also have covers, remixes and arrangements along with these original tracks.

Sit back, look up, and admire the shiny stars and ponder how they may affected your life…

Episode 216: Friday the 13th – Unlucky St. Patrick

By RE-VGM on Mar 13, 2026 7:03 am UTC

The Episodes Borderlands Castlevania Final Fantasy IV Friday the 13th Lilith Rydia St. Patrick's Day vgm

Well, look here. It’s another Friday the 13th, the second one for 2026, in fact.

That means we’ll be looking into some mysterious and superstitious things, and for this week’s episode, it’ll be related to St. Patrick’s Day.

Normally, St. Patrick’s Day is all about luck and the Irish. People wear green, ornate themselves with a four-leaf clover, and hopefully find an Irish woman to kiss for luck. It’s a day to honor a 5th-century Christian missionary who was traveled to Ireland for evangelism. Oh, and of course, it’s a time to see some rivers and beers turn green.

However, we’re going to look at some unlucky things that could happen, in or out of St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve got some video game tracks to help us segue into this discussion (a lone girl who can summon creatures, a weapon of holy power, and a woman with extraterrestrial powers), along with covers to follow.

Time to get lucky and hopefully avoid some unfortunate circumstances…

Bonus Episode 04 - Arise, Effect, Infinite

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Mar 12, 2026 11:01 am UTC

The fine folks at Enhance reached out to me and asked if I’d show off some of the soundtrack for Lumines Arise, along with their other games like Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite. And I said yes, because all three of those soundtracks are great, so that’s what this special bonus episode is all about.

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:
CJ from Enhance for approaching me and asking if I’d do an episode about Lumines Arise. You can follow Enhance on BlueSky at enhance-experience.com, on Twitter as @enhance_exp, and visit their website at https://enhance-experience.com/
BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.

Independently of this episode, I found Lumines Arise via games writer Pete Davison’s blog MoeGamer. You can find his excellent article about it at https://moegamer.net/2025/11/14/lumines-arise-the-art-of-sincerity-and-creating-meaning-without-explicit-narrative/ and you can visit the whole website at https://moegamer.net

If you want to know more about Hydelic, you can find his website at http://www.noborumutoh.com and you visit his Bandcamp page at https://hydelic.bandcamp.com, where you can download all three of the soundtracks featured on this episode.

To hear more from Luma, who contributed to some of the Lumines Arise vocal tracks, you can visit her YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/c/LumaMusicOfficial/about.

To hear more from Kymara, who also contributed to a Lumines Arise vocal track, you can find her YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/@KymaraJapNgie. Her official website is https://kymaramusic.com and she can also be found on Spotify.

Mechi Pieretti was the vocalist on one of the Tetris Effect songs, and you can find her YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/@MechiPieretti and she’s also on Spotify.

Kat McDowell’s guitar also shows up on one of today’s featured tracks from Tetris Effect, and you can find her website at https://www.kat-mcdowell.com and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/katmcdowell.

Mayu Wakisaka contributed to one of the Rez Infinite tracks, and you can find her work on Spotify and Apple Music, and also on her YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/user/mayutantanutan.

The show opened and closed with tracks featuring Krysta Youngs, and you can find more of her music on her website at https://www.krystayoungs.com, on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/krystayoungs, on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/krystayoungsmusic, and also on Spotify and Apple Music.

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads and Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can find on FGC Radio, Patreon, and most podcatchers.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

16-bit 8-bit best vgm famicom game boy genesis mega drive nes pc engine snes turbografx video game music podcast

This episodes's topic was an interesting one. While open to interpretation, the general idea is simply tracks that are... well, interesting, whatever that means. Maybe it means music for a more open-minded ear or maybe it just means pieces that do something cool or unusual and that stand out in a weird way. "Paper Route" from Paperboy 2 lays down some distinctly Seinfeld-esque

Final Fantasy X-2: Dresspheres

Episode 215: That Video Game Drip (National Dress Day)

By RE-VGM on Mar 6, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes dress Final Fantasy X-2 National Dress Day The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Trials of Mana vgm

Today, on March 6th, we are celebrating National Dress Day. It was founded by fashion and dress designer of formal wear Ashley Lauren, she wanted to “draw attention to the beauty of dresses, reliving and celebrating the memories that happen while wearing them.” One can wear their favorite dress that day or attempt the 100-Day Dress Challenge (wear the same dress for 100 days). This is also a great excuse to buy a dress to add to your collection.

I’m sure you’re wondering what do dresses have to do with with video games. Sure, they function as armor that can be equipped, but dresses can be a function of game mechanics.

For this week’s episode, we’re featuring video games that use dresses as a game mechanic by playing their original tracks: a trio of treasure hunters exploring the world of Spira, a hero from Hyrule utilizing their fashion sense, and a group of adventures that are dressed for success. We’ve also got covers and remixes along with these original tracks.

Pick your best threads and strut them on the catwalk like the gamer you are…

Lots of trailing pieces from last month (that is, familiar game titles) in this installment of the Legacy Music Hour, even though it is a free play.

Episode 213: Giddy-up!!! (The Year of the Horse)

By RE-VGM on Feb 20, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Chinese New Year Elden Ring horse Lunar New Year Shadow of the Colossus The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Umamusume: Pretty Derby vgm Year of the Horse

It’s time for the Lunar New Year, which starts around the second new moon of the Chinese calendar. This year it is the year of the horse, according to the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac sign. The animal is known for its confidence, decisiveness, and to be agreeable and responsible; however, they hate being reined in by others, are easily swayed, and can be impatient.

On this week’s episode, we’ll be talking about some famous horses from video games throughout the decades (1990s to 2020s): a young foal that later becomes a full grown mare for Hyrule’s hero, a faithful mare despite the giants of the land, the name for any horse ridden by a monster hunter, and a spectral stallion that chooses a Tarnished. Along with the original tracks from these games, there’s also covers and remixes to follow.

Saddle up and hold tight to the reins as we race through the decades of video game horses…

Allow yourself to be distracted by the wonderful arpeggios and multiple layers of the truly grand track "Ending" from Magical Chase.

The Episodes Angry Birds Conker's Bad Fuy Day Friday the 13th love Umamusume: Pretty Derby Valentine's Day vgm

Love is a wonderful thing… until it stinks. One moment, you’re flying on cloud nine, and the next moment your heart shatters into a thousand pieces.

Today, for our first Friday the 13th episode of the year, we’re going to look into a few myths and superstitions about love related to animals. They could be harbingers of your future love, depending on what you see on Valentine’s Day or how many you’re able to count before shaking the hand of your spouse-to-be. We’ve also tracks from video games of animals in parallel to the animals: a drunk squirrel trying to get home, the mystical practice of bird watching, and a race to the finish line with horses. Following each original track is a cover or remix.

Get yourself prepared for what love has to offer, be it good or bad…

Episode 69 - Chilly McFreeze VII: Steven James Anderson

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Feb 12, 2026 12:00 pm UTC

For the 69th episode, we’ll be hearing a nice set of calm tracks, adding another entry to my ongoing Chilly McFreeze series.

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com. (Mention new episode about Kaze no NOTAM)
All the fine, hardworking people who’ve ripped these tracks out of various video games.
BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.

If you like these Chilly McFreeze episodes that I keep doing, you should check out Chillscape, an entire podcast devoted to chill VGM, hosted by Aaron of the Superghost podcast. You can find the website for it at chillscape.xyz and it’s available on most podcatchers that aren’t Spotify, because Spotify is evil and they hate video game music.

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads and Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can find on FGC Radio, Patreon, and most podcatchers.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

Happy Beginnings means (among other things) that this mixtape begins with an absolute banger. Divine Bloodlines (Stage 1 BGM) from Dracula X on the SNES is a very faithful rendition of the original CD version, with sampled electric guitar and some killer bass guitar. Castle Theme from Valkyrie no Densetsu has a very regal sound, with some great sampled choir voices.This mixtape isn't

Episode 211: Happy 4th Anniversary!

By RE-VGM on Feb 6, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes anniversary vgm

This week, we are celebrating our four years of RE-VGM, showcasing covers and remixes of video game music and putting a spotlight on musicians who arrange, cover, and remix them. It was on February 2nd, back in 2022, that the first episode was released; it was on one particular track from “Kingdom Hearts” titled “Dearly Beloved” and three separate covers and remixes. From there the format slightly changed to a themed celebration with three original tracks and three inspired tracks. Later, “On Stage Now” was added to feature a musician or band and their works of covered or remixed VGM.

For this episode, I take a look behind the numbers for this past year’s episode and play inspired from the top 3 episodes, according to the number of listens on the day of their releases: a video game about roller skating and tagging, three games displaying generosity, and a musician who takes his music to 11.

Enjoy all of these tracks in celebration of RE-VGM’s four years podcasting and showcasing original VGM and their covers and remixes. Oh, and be sure to take a giant balloon of your favorite color on the way…

Kaze No NOTAM

By barSILENCE on Feb 3, 2026 1:08 pm UTC

[Episode 45] This month, barSILENCE takes to the skies with the chilled-out and grooving soundtrack to Kaze No NOTAM on the PlayStation.

This game's uniquely dégagé experience lets you hot air balloon at your own pace, drifting wherever the wind takes you. As you float through these low-poly worlds, it’s backed by an excellent vaporwave-adjacent soundtrack that’s more about vibes than momentum, and absolutely worth experiencing.

It's time to catch a breeze. And when it’s over, there is only one thing left to ask:

Did you luxuriate in the wind?

Episode 210: Doin’ the Dinosaur (National Draw a Dinosaur Day)

By RE-VGM on Jan 30, 2026 2:43 pm UTC

The Episodes Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Dino Crisis dinosaur National Draw a Dinosaur Day Turok: Dinosaur Hunter vgm

Admit it. There are times you get bored in the middle of a class or meeting, and suddenly, your hand starts doodling something: a UFO taking up a cow, an attempt to draw the Cool S, or stick figures having an impromtu fight. That happened to Todd Page while he was in an anthropology class. He got bored and started to doodle dinosaurs. Later, he encouraged others to doodle dinosaurs and then decided to declare it a holiday. Thus was born “National Draw a Dinosaur Day”, on January 30th.

On this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have dinosaurs in them: a post-apocalyptic time of classic cars and prehistoric creatures, a mighty warrior searching for pieces of a great weapon, and an agent trying to arrest a suspect in a lab riddled with ancient creatures. We’ve also got covers and remixes with each track.

Prepare to get prehistoric and maybe ‘do the Dinosaur’…

Track Listing

Intro and BGM: “Dinosaur Song”, composed by Johnny and June Cash, performed by Johnny Cash, from his album “The Johnny Cash Children’s Album”

“Shooting Blindly – Brawl (STAGE 4-2, 5-2)” – [Cadillacs and Dinosaurs] – composed by Isao Abe, Syun Nishigaki

“Cadillacs and Dinosaurs OST In the Garage [Synthwave remix]” – remixed by Sanctum Audio Productions

“Lost Jungle” – [Turok: Dinosaur Hunter] – composed by Darren Mitchell

“Turok: Dinosaur Hunter – Jungle (remix)” – remixed by DJ Mykah

[RE-RUN] C2E16: "Songs with Words" (orig rel. 03/07/2024)

By Nerd Noise Radio on Jan 28, 2026 6:00 am UTC

2026 Show Notes Addendum: Our last [for now] Ch 2 rerun (our last Ch 2 rerun specifically shared with incoming NintenDomain listeners in mind in the wake of the recent Ch F "Channel Trey" one-off) This was the first episode of the last season of Ch 2 - the one where we announced to the listeners that Ch 2 would be shutting down, as well as the episode where I revealed my then very recently discovered African and Jewish ancestry. This episode also has the distinction of being my personal favorite episode in Ch 2 history with perhaps the lone exception of the 5 1/2hr long "C2F: 'Finally our Final Finale'" series retrospective. You can also hear our very last non-retrospective Ch 2, C2E20: "....all good things...." if you look back to the NNR Dec 2025 podcast feed. And with that.....NintenDomain fans now have had a great look at the seeds to what went on to make "Channel Trey", while long-time NNR fans get a look back on a handful of really great moments in Ch 2 (and "quasi-channel 2") history. Enjoy this last [for now] installment! :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Original 2024 Show Notes------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today’s Broadcast is C2E16 for Theme Thursday, March 7th, 2024. Today’s theme is vocal music from video games, on a program we’re calling “Songs with Words”. BE SURE TO CATCH OUR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TOWARDS THE END OF THE EPISODE!! (It’s highlighted in the show notes!)

Episode 68 - Samson Escapades Presents: The Landed Gentry of Fighters '26

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Jan 22, 2026 12:02 pm UTC

Special guest host Samson Escapades joins us from “How Much in Bison Dollars?” for a special look at a whole bunch of tracks from fighting games, some of which are fondly remembered and some of which have been forgotten. (Maybe even rightfully forgotten, in a few cases.)

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com.
Red McCano, Senior Executive Vice Senior President of Shadaloo’s Department of Treasury, for the How Much in Bison Dollars campaign, the genesis of the Samson Escapades character, and for giving me the opportunity to portray him. You can find all things Bison Dollars on Threads, BlueSky, YouTube, and Patreon under the username “hmibisondollars”, and you can listen to the How Much in Bison Dollars? podcast on FGC Radio or on the podcatcher of your choice.
VGM composer and arranger Gribblesnap for providing the song used in the Neo Turf Masters Neo promo. You can find their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@gribblesnap
shoepixie for providing the voice for Neo Turf Masters Neo promo.
BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.

Samson’s social media sites are generally blocked outside of Shadaloo, but if you want to reach Professor Tom, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads and Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month (sometimes less) depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

The subject of artificial intelligence was a loose theme in Episode 281. But don't worry, no A.I. was used to create this mixtape. Just some great taste and a lot of great music.

[RE-RUN] C2E1: "Songs of the Pandemic" - the first "official" ep of Ch 2 (orig rel. 09/17/2020)

By Nerd Noise Radio on Jan 21, 2026 6:00 am UTC

2026 Show Notes Adendum: This was the very first "official episode" of Ch 2 - approx 9 months after Hugues and I's "fun one-off", which at the time had no strings attached! PRODUCTION CAVEATS: Just like the 2019 one-off, this was recorded using an M-Audio MobilePre XLR-to-USB audio interface and AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mic, and was recorded down in a very echoey basement room. Also, I hadn't [yet] started editing out the "ums" yet. However, unlike the 2019 one-off, I had moved onto Linux by this point, so it was produced in a mix of Audacity and Ardour, rather than in GarageBand and was produced on a 2017 Dell Latitude 7480 laptop (docked to an external monitor, KBM, and sound system) rather than on a 2014 Mac Mini. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Original 2020 Show Notes------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s the Dawning of a new Era! You are Tuned to Nerd Noise Radio – Channel 2! Today’s inaugural installment is C2E1, for Theme Thursday, Sept 17th, 2020. Today’s theme is “Songs of the Pandemic”.

Episode 208: Keep “Dragon” My Heart for Them (National Appreciate a Dragon Day)

By RE-VGM on Jan 16, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Appreciate a Dragon Day dragon Dragon Age: Inquisition Dragon's Dogma Spyro the Dragon vgm

Today on January 16th, we are celebrating “National Appreciate a Dragon Day”, in honor of one of the most popular and mystical creatures of lore, the dragon. They have been a part of many historical and current cultures since 4500 B.C., when they were carved as images onto jade and pottery in China. There are mentions of dragons in literature, such as St. George, Beowulf, and The Hobbit. In movies and anime, there are dragons in movies (Mushu from “Mulan”, Shenon from the Dragon Ball series, Haku from “Spirited Away”). With its long tail, majestic wings, and ferocious claws, and fearsome face, the dragon is a creature that is appreciated by all.

For this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature dragons: a purple and spunky dragon saving the Kingdom, a great wyrm of the end of days, and a collection of high dragons during an Inquisition. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow.

Enjoy these tracks and feel a sense of appreciation for this creature of lore…

“Appreciate a Dragon Day”

Dragon’s Dogma – The Dragon

Dragon Age: Inquisition – Dragon Hunter

[RERUN] "Nerd Noise Game Club" - the one-off which later became "Channel 2" (orig. 12/19/2019)

By Nerd Noise Radio on Jan 16, 2026 2:35 am UTC

2026 Show Notes Addendum: If you're a NintenDomain listener who is new to NNR from Trey and I's "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel Trey" one-off simulcast collaboration, then this rerun should be uniquely interesting to you! So, "Channel Trey" was a one-off between Trey and I, in the style of an episode of the now-defunct "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2" which I used to do with Hugues Johnson of Retro Game Club (so, another "so and so Johnson" out of Chicago), only with Trey at the mic instead of Hugues. It was in the exact style and format of Channel 2. Well, funnily enough, what went on to become Channel 2 also began life as a similar fun one-off between Hugues and I all the way back in December 2019. And here is that 2019 one-off. Hugues and I's 6yr earlier parallel to Trey and I's recent outing. This was before I knew I was AuDHD (Autistic + ADHD), and before I knew I possessed African and Jewish ancestry. It was also before I started editing out the "ums". But it's remarkable to me how "different yet the same" it feels to our official Ch 2 episodes which came later, or "Channel Trey" which rose from the ashes of the now-defunct Ch 2. PRODUCTION CAVEATS: At this point, I had not switched from Mac to Linux, so I was using Garageband in MacOS on a late 2014 Mac Mini. Also, I had not yet upgraded to the Focusrite 4i4 (3rd Gen) XLR-to-USB interface, still using the lesser M-Audio MobilePre, and had not yet upgraded to the RODE Podmic dynamic microphone, let alone my current Shure SM7B, but was still using my original AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mic, and lastly, was recording in a very very echoey room with no noise cancellation. But apart from inferior hardware, software, and production techniques, and apart from this being my very first time ever doing something even remotely like this, the seeds of all NNR Channel 2 episodes, as well as the seeds of "Channel Trey" are all very much present here! This is where it all started: Channel 2, Channel Trey.....all of it! My intent for this month is to also rerun not only our very first official Ch 2 episode from Sept 2020, but also C1E16: "Songs with Words", the first episode of the last season, and what in my personal opinion is the very best Ch 2 episode of all, perhaps save for C2F, our "series finale". Also, if you look back to December 2025 on the NNR podcast feed, you can also catch C2E20: "...all good things...", our final non-retrospective episode of Ch 2. So, if your first experience with Nerd Noise Radio was "Channel Trey", then you'll get to hear a lot of the context behind that episode! In any case, enjoy the rogue one-off that became an entirely new Nerd Noise Radio program, which would ultimately culminate in yet another rogue one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------Original show notes---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. John of "Nerd Noise Radio" and Hugues Johnson of "Retro Game Club" (and "The Retro League" alum) join forces to cover and discuss some of their favorite pieces of VGM from the 2010's. It's about what you'd expect if you put Retro Game Club / The Retro League, Nerd Noise Radio, Legacy Music Hour, and an entire decade of VGM in a blender....ooh, or maybe the hadron collider!

For the time-being, this is just a one-time "one-off" special, but if there is enough demand from either, or especially both of our respective listener pools, then we're open to making this an ongoing (albeit occasional, and likely irregular) thing. "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2", maybe? ;-) Anyway, the power is yours, listeners! Make your voices heard! In the meanwhile? Enjoy!

16-bit 8-bit best vgm famicom game boy genesis mega drive nes pc engine snes turbografx video game music podcast

The unofficial theme of this episode was "making connections." For one, Rob had a running theme through his choices. Did you catch the theme? There were also a lot of connections made between tracks and other media of which those tracks were reminiscent. For example, "Burning Fighter (Stage 3)" from Surprise Attack had parts that reminded the boizz of music from the movie

Episode 207: Rage-quit!!! (Quitters Day)

By RE-VGM on Jan 9, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Battletoads Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Ninja Gaiden Quitters Day rage quit vgm

Some days, it’s a peaches and cream and everything seems all right. Other days, things are going horribly wrong and the world seems against you. When it becomes too much or the goals seem too far away, you’re ready to throw in the towel and call it quits.

Today we’re celebrating Quitters Day, a time when most people, after getting themselves hyped up for their new year’s resolutions, start to fall back and eventually drop their efforts. A fitness app called Strava noted from user data that, while people set their exercise goals at the start of the new year, by the second Friday of January, their activity levels drop dramatically. So, Quitters Day was created to bring awareness of how fast motivation can fade and that it’s a common struggle that most face after the first rush of excitement wears off; it’s a good time to stop a moment and adjust your plans as needed, perhaps some small goals.

For this week’s episode, though, we’ll be listening to tracks from video games I’ve played in which I struggled hard, sometimes to the point of just giving up and never finishing the game: a young boxer climbing the ranks to meet the World Champion, a son of a father seeking revenge from a ninja duel, and two amphibious dudes fighting their way to rescue their buddy and the Princess. Along with these original tracks we’ve got covers and remixes.

Enjoy and just take a breather before you bury that controller into a wall…

Quitters Day

Track Listing

“Fight Theme” – [Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!] – composed by Yukio Kaneoka, Akito Nakatsuka, Kenji Yamamoto

“Mike Tyson’s Punch Out (Synthwave Remix)” – remixed by Galactic Beatz

“Act 4 Part 2” – [Ninja Gaiden] – composed by Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Nitta

“Stage 4-2 (The Amazing Ryu) goes harder | Ninja Gaiden | Unbreakable Determination Metal Version” – covered by Lame Genie

“Turbo Tunner Part 2” – [Battletoads] – composed by David Wise

“Darkman007 – 2021 – Metaltoads (Battletoads Cover NES) – 05 – Turbo Tunnel” – covered by Darkman007, from the cover album “Metaltoads (Battletoads Cover)”

By Nerd Noise Radio on Jan 8, 2026 1:35 am UTC

Today's broadcast is a fun one-off between Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio fame and myself in the style of a Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 epiosde with the theme of "tracks we discovered in 2025".

Apologies for the absurdist length - but if you miss Ch 2, I think this one will scratch that itch for you! Also reminder that what would eventually go on to become Channel 2 also started as a fun one-off between Hugues and I, so you never know what the future holds!

Episode 206: Going Sci-Fi (National Science Fiction Day)

By RE-VGM on Jan 2, 2026 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Metro 2033 National Science Fiction Day Parasite Eve Sci-Fi Science Fiction The Witcher vgm

Happy New Year, everyone!

A new year, which means new possibilities. This means it’s a perfect time, especially today, to celebrate National Science Fiction Day, on January 2nd. Also the birthday of Isaac Asimov, this day is about all things science fiction, works of media that takes a hard look at technology mixed in with fantasy. Whether it was cyberpunk or steampunk, magic mixed with mechanical wonder, there was lots to imagine and possibly more to bring to reality. Authors, including Asimov, such as Jules Vernes, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Kurt Vonnegut also write within the genre, about traveling across the world or through time, living in a dystopian society, or being abducted by aliens for their “zoo”.

This week, we’ll be playing tracks from video games inspired by works of a science fiction writer or involved the writer along with their works: a young woman who awakens to the powers of her own mitochondria, a monster hunter with supernatural powers, and a soldier dealing a nuclear fallout in Russia. Following each track is a cover or remix.

Have fun with these tracks and perhaps consider doing something science fiction related today…

“Empowering Generosity: How a Plot in a Chinese Game is inspiring Gamers to Give Back”

Episode 205: The Generosity of Gamers

By RE-VGM on Dec 26, 2025 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Genshin Impact giving Helldivers II philanthropy Umamusume: Pretty Derby vgm

Gamers have been criticized and scrutinized for lots of things. They’re not strong, have no realistic perceptions, narcissistic, and not dating material. They seem to be frivolous with their money, spending it on video games, consoles, accessories, and figures. Also, online controversies have divided people, distracting from the fun of gaming.

However, gamers can also be generous with our money. While not reported on most familiar news outlets, there are charities which use video games to bring awareness to a cause and implore gamers to donate. They have livestream sessions of people playing certain games and collaborations with organizations with tie-ins to a game.

For this week’s episode, I’ll be showcasing several video games that have a tie-in with a charity or donation drive as I play tracks from them: a Fiery Lioness with a heart for children, a campaign in the name of democracy, and a game inspired by real-life racing horses. Of course, we’ve got covers and remixes to follow.

Hopefully I can change a few minds about how people see gamers, not as those who sit at their desk or chair staring at a screen while pressing some buttons or moving a stick; that gamers are willing to open their wallets for a passionate cause…

“Helldivers players saved the children, so Arrowhead Game Studios is making a donation to the Save the Children charity”

“Gacha games and their communities/companies that have a done acts of philathropy” (Reddit)

Charity Organizations and Donations:
Child’s Play Charity
Extra Life
Stack Up
Project Hope
Save the Children (International)
Nice Nature Memorial Donation

Merry Christmas, everyone! I present to all the listeners my gift for 2025: an episode that recaps all the Christmas tracks that have been showcased and counted down since Day One. For those just joining in, this is a tradition of mine since I started the podcast in 2022.

[RERUNS] C2E20: "....all good things".... (orig rel. 10/24/2024)

By Nerd Noise Radio on Dec 24, 2025 6:00 am UTC

2025 Show Notes addendum:

In light of the release of C1E100 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 1), I thought it would also be good to release C2E20 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 2) as a nice tie-in. Though my production quality has improved somewhat since late 2024, it is nowhere even remotely close to the quantum leap that is the difference between my Dec 2025 and my Jan 2017 production quality difference with C1E1. Channel 2 was a COMPLETELY different kind of show, though. Rather than being a vaguely NPR-esque mixtape-style program that was "less a podcast per se" and more "a late nite FM radio music program which just so happened to go out over the podosphere", Ch 2 was a "proper podcast" with a co-host out of Chicago and myself taking turns sharing tracks and talking about them. We wrapped the show at the end of 2024 because my co-host had been podcasting since 2009, and would be turning 50 in 2025, and so he decided at the end of 2023 that he would be retiring completely from podcasting at the end of 2024, and I didn't feel like replacing him, so we just wrapped it together. Anyway, since we referenced C2E20 and even featured a few tracks from it in C1E100, and since we're rerunning C1E1, I figured I'd rerun this too. By the way: that one upcoming Ch F one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio will be in this exact format - only, obviously, a different co-host.

Anyway....enjoy! Also, this rerun will release on Christmas Eve. So, Merry Christmas to anyone who celebrates it - and a belated Happy Hannukah to anyone who celebrates it instead (I celebrate both, myself!) :-D

------------------------------------------------------

orig show notes

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…”

Ep. 117: Slap Down the Biorhythms

By The VGM Jukebox on Dec 23, 2025 12:00 pm UTC

Chotto matte and wait a minute, what's this? Are there really lights on inside the ol' VGMJB bar tonight? Looks like Josh and Emily are marking the 10th anniversary of The VGM Jukebox by opening the doors again! Come snag your favorite chair and get transported places as they share tunes that capture the spirit of the old days, the newer days, and the wide range of everything in between. J&E will need your patience as they relearn the biorhythms of everything from publishing episodes to flipping coins properly, and a good handful of their tracks aren't even from video games. It's going to be an unusual evening, to say the least! But if you stay a while, let us know what you've been up to these past seven years, and what tunes and memories have stayed connected to your hearts.

Episode 203: Going Emo (National Emo Day)

By RE-VGM on Dec 19, 2025 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Emo National Emo Day Persona 3 Shadow the Hedgehog The World Ends With You vgm

Today we’re celebrating National Emo Day, a day dedicated to an interesting subculture that started as a music genre and spread onto fashion and a lifestyle. While most people may mock or scratch their heads, emo is rather simple. It’s having a personal connection that transcends logic. The music is melodic, with lyrics that evoke an emotional connection. The fashion is contrarian to the mainstream, with thick-rimmed glasses, button-down shirts, graphic tees, tight jeans, and Converse shoes. The style tends to be bold, with spiky hair, bangs that covers one of the eyes, and black fingernails. While perceived as being alienating, angst, and resentful of people, emos are introspective and sensitive.

For this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature an emo protagonist or main character: a transfer high school student who can summon Personas, a hedgehog with an attitude after being revived from a deep stasis, and a teenage boy who finds himself in a game with Reapers. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow, all collaborations with the Keytar Kween herself, Lacey Johnson.

Prepare to let your emotions go free…
