Wow! Happy Anniversary to RE-VGM!
One year ago, I decided to start a podcast to showcase covers and remixes of video game music (VGM). I’ve listened to other VGM podcasts (Rhythm and Pixels, VGMporium, VGM: A Very Good Music Podcast, XVGM, A VGM Journey, Shujin Academy VGM Club), along with another podcast about movie soundtracks, called “The Soundtrack Show”. While I enjoyed them, the thought of doing a podcast had tickled my fancy. I eventually came around when I bought a mic and figured out what was the purpose of my podcast. Following after VGMporium, I recorded and posted my first episode. Every week since then, I’ve recorded over 50 episodes, most of them thematic, a few special ones, and “On Stage Now”.
This week, I take a long walk down memory lane, reflecting on my time as the host of RE-VGM. We’ll be listening to covers and remixes from several episodes of interest: from the humble beginnings, during my mom’s passing, the Masters of VGM, and On Stage Now.
I hope you’ll take some time to hear what I have to say about my year in podcasting and to what I look forward in the future. I also want to thank all the listeners and followers of the podcast, as well as welcome to any newcomers; you are very much appreciated.
