Having created podcasts about pop-culture and games, I wanted to focus more on one aspect of games in particular - their music. Having played games since the early nineties, I've become enraptured by the way that music is used in games; not only to tell stories, but as a major facet of games design as well. I plan to cover both the careers and works of game music's most famous composers, as well as go into more detail about how game music is used when designing a game.
