It had to happen eventually, I venture out on my own to talk about video game music. In this inaugural episode, I talk about some of my favorite introductory themes in games. Was there some things I had to leave out? Absolutely! Would you have wanted to listen to a three hour long podcast? Maybe I’ll revisit this one with a second episode if the demand is there.
The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was composed by chibi-tech and our logo was designed by Melissa Diaz. Like what you hear?
