Love it!
Can't say enough good things about Brett & the rest of the Lasertime crew. This particular podcast strikes that lovely balance of being funny and informative. Definitely influenced my musical tastes in recent years, opening up a world of music that I knew but never actually listened to. Brett you should write a book or make a movie about VGM!
Fantastic idea, long may it continue
I always enjoyed the retro game music snippets on Retronauts over the years, so discovering this podcast (embarrassingly late, and only after the host appeared on an episode of the aforementioned show - the power of cross-network promotion!) was a wonderful moment. Put together with an obvious love of the subject, no matter which selection of guests appear, one always get the sense of camaraderie and fun - which only adds to the appeal. Some very interesting choices of focus... I must admit I have checked out a fair few retro titles as a result of their fully-merited appearance (Kickle Cubicle... what a little gem!). There are so many topics I would love to see covered, so... keep up the good work, chaps!
Wow
You hit a home run with that story... Cheap ugg boots here->
Great podcast for video game enthusiasts. Likeable cast and not too serious. Keep it up
