Episode 2: Dude, We Haven't Played These Games!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Very Good Music: A VGM Podcast! We are your hosts, bedroth and Shootkapow, a father/son duo who love music and video games and especially music IN video games!

In this episode, we take turns playing very good songs from soundtracks to games that we have yet to play - at least, the one who brought the song has yet to play the game. Once again, the songs span many generations, genres, and platforms, but they all follow our One Big Rule: everything has to be Very Good Music!

We hope you enjoy the show. If you have any comments, questions, or requests, please send them to [email protected], or leave a comment below!

If you like what you hear, please like, comment, and subscribe, and if you're watching on YouTube, ring that bell to be notified when our next episode comes out! We're currently planning to release every other Saturday, but check back here for news and updates.
