It’s June, and that means it’s Masters of VGM month! This year, the focus across all of the participating VGM podcasts is to shine a spotlight on composers that we feel don’t get enough attention in the media. We’ve invited longtime contributor and friend The Diad to highlight four of his favorite underrated game music maestros, and Ed has shared in kind. Tune in to catch up on some great tunes you may not have heard before!
NOTE: Due to a microphone failure, there is a slight change in quality in Ed’s voice for the last few segments of the show.
