    Beyond Synth - 401 - Mark Edwards

    Today on Beyond Synth, Andy has his mind blown by Mark Edwards; comedian, voice actor, and entertaining man. Known for his funny videos on TikTok and Instagram, Edwards shares his background, including his comedy training at Humber College and his voice acting career. Mark explains his creative process and discusses the nuances of crafting content that balances humour with absurdity. Andy and Mark also chat about animation history, woke vs. Anti-woke movie reviews and conspiracy theories. And, like always, there’s lots of awesome music to listen to as well!

    Beyond Synth - 400 - Mike and Andy's Radio Fiasco

    There’s no time to celebrate the 400th episode of Beyond Synth because Mike and Andy are too busy doing John Rhys-Davies impressions while talking about ketamine, ground nutmeg, Murdoch and David Dastmalchian. The titular hosts speculate about 90s movie sequels, and Andy doesn’t like the Elves’ square heads in the Amazon Lord of the Rings series. Meanwhile Mike teaches Andy about the twin fairies Shobijin who communicate with Mothra. Plus we hear lots of great music from the Retro Power Chart!

    Beyond Synth - 399 - Round Table 04

    The round table convenes again but Michael is missing in action! Florence went to England to see a Pendulum concert and Mew playing with a chamber orchestra. Marko got a new job, beat Goldeneye64 on 00 Agent mode, and Andy is proud of him. Michael pretends that he is not the local vandal sabotaging the speed cameras in his village. The Gang also talks about The Fallout Tv show, disturbing internet videos, Flying High, Yaz, and Bush X.

Andy and Matt both have nice things to say about Yatte and the X-Files, and then there’s chat about music licensing, algorithms and content suppression.

Andy is a cool guy

This is a great podcast. It’s funny and the music is good. Sometimes Andy seems to think that all of the “non music” subject matter will annoy listeners but I think it’s great. Do you really want to listen to the same conversation about DAWs and hardware over and over again? Of course not. Not if you’re cool anyway.

The World's Greatest Synthwave Chat Show

I've been listening to Andy and friends for maybe 8 years or so now. I love firing up a new episode of Beyond Synth and getting my work done, often laughing out loud along the way. Sometimes the show isn't perfect, but hey, nothing really is. And Beyond Synth is, by far, the best synthwave chat show there is.

Andy is a masterful host, and can make even mundane aspects of life interesting and entertaining. Frequent guest Marko (of Synthetix Sundays fame) is a lovable and hilarious bonus for regular listeners, and Andy's decision to dedicate entire episodes to their banter and musical selections is a brilliant idea.

The music is always good, and there will usually be a boatload of laughs to go along with it.

Thank you for the many years of entertainment and curated music. Stay strong, Andy. Take care of yourself!

PS. I'm sorry I am a dirty dirty freeloader and have never given you any money, Andy. But I know I can do a 5 star review for ya. I can also pray for you whenever you want or need. Just drop me a message on Soundcloud and I will do it. You're the best! Love you, bro!

This music

Help! I’ve awoken in a pitch black room. The only light is from a near battery depleted iPad with only the Apple podcast app on it. I don’t know where I am or how I got here. Some dark sinister synth music is blasting from speakers I can’t even see. A voice told me if I wanted to see the light of day, that I had a choice to make. Either I could leave a 1 star review or a 5 star review of the beyond synth podcast “the best synthwave chat show there is” another deeper voice chimed in. One choice would set me free the other choice would spell a slow terrifying death. I’m to choose but what if this choice is a trick? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I just want to see my family again!

Ok I’ve made my choice. I’m hesitantly about to push “send review” before the battery totally dies and me with it!!!!!!!! GOD HELP!!!
