Greetings, game music lovers. Welcome to the second of our final four official episodes. We've made our way through the final level, and now it's time to face the big bad boss!

Episode 72-3: ProfJeff's Masters of VGM
In June of 2022 (and stretching into July), over a dozen VGM podcasts came together to honor our favorite composers in what came to be called Masers of VGM.
Part 2 was originally intended to be a one-episode listener recap. Instead, it evolved into three parts of its own! In this third and final episode you're in for some Very Good Music as Bedroth and his guest discuss ProfJeff's Masters of VGM!

Love it
The Batman and Nightwing of VGM Podcast
Man, the Megaman boss battle was great. Can’t wait to see what season 2 brings. Keep being awesome.
Sincerely,
Darryl
Very Good Music, More Like Most Excellent!
Bedroth and Shootkapow are so great together, I know I couldn't do a podcast with my dad, he calls the internet "The Google". I echo what many of the reviews have said, it's cool to hear the conversations from the old school and the new school gaming generation and the general love of the music. Keep it up! Love it!
