Scarecrows & Cornfields
Wednesday Oct 01, 2025
Wednesday Oct 01, 2025
Episode #391 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. October has arrived! Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth kick off the spooky month with one of horror's most unsettling rural themes - Scarecrows & Cornfields! Silent sentinels watching over abandoned farms, endless corn mazes where danger lurks just out of sight, and the primal fear of isolation in wide open spaces create the perfect atmosphere for Halloween terror.
But not every cornfield hides monsters! From bone-chilling boss battles and survival horror chases to surprisingly cheerful field themes and absurdist comedy, this episode has it all!

The Starbinder's Oath, Part Two: The Shattered Bonds
Sunday Sep 28, 2025
Sunday Sep 28, 2025
Bonus Episode #54 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. The storm is far from over. Kaelen and Torren's desperate flight from the massive Cindercloak airship leads them deeper into the treacherous Stormweave Isles, where floating islands spin in perpetual tempest and the very air crackles with corrupted magic. As they seek refuge among storm-wracked ruins and forgotten shrines, uncomfortable questions begin to surface about allies, enemies, and the true cost of the choices that shattered the Starbinder Order generations ago.
In this second installment of our four-part radio drama, the foundations of trust begin to crack under the weight of hidden histories and painful revelations. The past refuses to stay buried, and some secrets carry a price that echoes through the present.
New allies emerge from unexpected places, while familiar bonds are tested by forces beyond anyone's control. As our heroes navigate both physical dangers and the treacherous landscape of shifting loyalties, they edge closer to truths that will reshape everything they thought they knew about their world.
Content Note: This fantasy adventure contains themes of betrayal, magical violence, and family conflict.
