Nerd Noise Game Club: C2E6 - “Fast Music for Slow Times‪”‬ Nerd Noise Radio

Today’s Broadcast is C2E6 for Theme Thursday, February 3rd, 2022 (St. John’s 42nd Birthday!). Today’s focus will be a rare look into hard rock, heavy metal, and adjacent music on a program we’re calling “Fast Music for Slow Times” (a loving and playful inversion on Hearts of Space’s slogan “Slow Music for Fast Times”)
