Metal Gear Solid Retrospective
BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast
BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast is a video game music and discussion show where we never play the same track more than once... or at least try not to! Every Wednesday and several Sundays, Bryan & Bedroth (and Kyle once a month) from RPGera present a selection of VGM for your listening pleasure based on a theme, series, composer, individual game, or an eclectic mix with Radio Hour to close each month!
We also have A Musical Review, which is our version of reviews for new release games.
Bedroth also presents BGMania B-Sides twice a month, which is a smaller focus on a particular game.
We hope you’ll join us on this musical adventure. Trust us.. this is not your typical VGM-related podcast!
