After chatting a bit with him during conferences the past year, we had to invite composer and performer John Robert Matz onto the show to chat about what he's been up to lately! He talks about the score for Tchia but also about things back in the day (indie game dev!) and that GAH staple: conspicuous consumption!

Another GDC has come and went, and two of the GAH trio were around to partake... but that's not nearly the only game event worth going to early in the calendar year! But the real question for this episode is: Can ANY game event stand up to the inaugural edition of the Game Audio Hour Hot Take?!
