The VGM Jukebox

The VGM Jukebox is the best VGM podcast out there, and possibly the best podcast ever. Not only do Josh & Emily play great video game tracks from all generations of games, but they offer something few other podcasts do: a sense of community. The main premise of the show is that listeners send in suggestions/requests, often with poignant or hilarious personal anecdotes. These are shared on the show; this listener curated, shared nostalgia is a wonderful thing to behold, and to be a part of. It’s now been a few years since Josh and Emily called it a day with the show. They’ve both moved on to different projects, but I still keep VGMJB in my subscribed list. In my heartcanon, they’ll return someday to the lounge (or dungeon), accompanied by Cookie, HaJu, Carrotman, and their assorted Boos. We’ll all sit around the Jukebox and talk about death, Karaoke, and Tuxedo Boys. Won’t you come along?

VGMJB is pure joy. Josh and Emily delivered the sweetest, most earnest exploration of video game music that podcasting has to offer. Eagerly anticipating the next special reunion episode. This is the only podcast I've re-listened, all the way through, twice.

Long time patron. First time reviewer. Add it to the list! Oh yeah! I started listening to this podcast after several mentions from fellow video game music podcast The Legacy Music Hour. Absolutely love the tracks that are shared here from Emily and Josh and the patrons. I have to say this podcast always knocks my workday out with a FLAWLESS VICTORY. Keep up the good work! The conversations ya’ll have are consistently engaging for the listener and never dull. Indeed sometimes the music takes a back seat to the discussions had by the hosts. But, this never disappoints and I feel like I’m listening to close friends chatting over coffee. Thanks for everything!

This is an outstanding VGM podcast. The majority of the tracks are selected out of a pool of listener submissions. The curators are entertaining and the community is fantastic. P.S. VGMJB also has a patreon. Check it out and maybe consider pledging your support.
