Line Them Up! A Paper Mario: The Origami King Concert is a colossal VGM collaboration featuring… well, just about everyone. We’re joined by Daniel Romberger, Thomas Kresge, Ro Panuganti, Doug Perry, Eileen Snyder, Ben Wallace, Nabeel Ansari, Laura Intravia, and Sam Bobinski— some of the key collaborators who made it happen, but just a fraction of the many fine folks who contributed. Together they tell the whole story, from a stray idea for a little Paper Mario arrangement all the way to a 40-minute concert with live players, elaborate animation, and special guests. So what are you waiting for? Elbow your way through the toads and join the enraptured audience for a performance you’re unlikely to forget!

Clark Aboud is a man of myriad music, each of his soundtracks striking out on its own unique journey. We discuss the organic, synthetic groove of Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to), the whimsical woodwinds of Make Sail, and the gothic surprises of Slay the Spire. How and why did Clark chance upon such strange and wonderful things? Listen on and hear for yourself!

It's not every day that composers from the VGM world start developing their own games. Andrew Aversa (known to the OCRemix world as Zircon) embarked on that journey years ago and released his first game, Tangledeep. Andrew Luers (otherwise known as OA) decided to join the party and start work on his own game, Flowstone Saga. They both join us this week to talk about their projects, how Impact Gameworks came to be, and the many fascinating aspects of game development.

Emily Reese (of Level with Emily Reese fame) stops by The Roost to discuss her years-in-the-making interview series on Half Life: Alyx and what it was like to enter the fabled halls of Valve HQ. We also compare notes about podcast history, reminisce about Minecraft, and learn just a little bit about Minneapolis music history.

It’s a marcato brothers network family reunion, and you’re invited! Karl, Will, Marty, Carlos, and Matthew all join in on a warm-hearted conversation about our creative endeavors and challenges throughout 2020, along with what we have planned for 2021. There are a few surprises and several definitive good times waiting inside, so pull up a chair, pour yourself some pigeon milk, and reminisce with us.
