Episode #421 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan closes out the month of April 2026 with another eclectic mix in Radio Hour, Volume 86!
We've got a slightly extended Radio Hour this month due to a mini-review being included for People of Note in the middle. I just couldn't choose three songs from this game. Every single one of them deserves to be listened to and appreciated. Besides that, we have a ton of new releases, some really fun listener submissions, and Bedroth, as usual, takes us in some very different directions.
Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff & Mike.

After a terrible week at the Boston Store, I came into work Thursday, expecting the worse. However, when I saw this episode download, I knew I was in for a treat. With so many songs being calm and soothing, it took me on another trip to Planet VGM. Once there, my week seemed to disappear, and the day became drowned out through the beautiful vocals in some of these songs. Thank you for helping me become human again. 💪
