BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast
BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast is a weekly video game music and discussion show where we never play the same track more than once... or at least try not to! Every Wednesday, Bryan & Bedroth from rpgera.com present a selection of VGM for your listening pleasure based on a theme, series, composer, individual game, or an eclectic mix! This is not your typical VGM-related podcast!
