Episode #416 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan closes out the month of March 2026 with another eclectic mix in Radio Hour, Volume 85!
Is this year flying by? I feel like it is. Once again, we're hitting every corner of the VGM spectrum this month. Plenty of new releases like usual, but we've also got some TurboGrafx-16, SEGA Saturn, and a mini-spotlight on Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection! One listener also randomly found my number and called in during the show. Hopefully this doesn't start happening more frequently...

To start off a Radio Hour by calling in and bringing the pain is always a great way to start off a Monday at the Boston Store. While residents break door locks and start fires, I remained calm in my world of tranquility, away from their madness. Nothing touches me when I’m in VGM land, and you guys always make it easier to stay there by playing great music like y’all featured on this episode. Thanks again, gentlemen. 💪
