2025 Rerun Notes: A very unique episode in show history, the only time we ever did a "ThreeFer". It's a bit of a long episode, and this was back when I was still using a cheaper mic and less sophisticated production techniques, but I still remain very proud of this episode from a content perspective. Original 2022 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------

[2025 Addendum]

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we’re releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”)  series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM ...

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the ultra long-winded] Normally, we only share one rerun a month at Nerd Noise Radio. But due to the confluence of a) our having missed the May rerun completely, b) our not getting a June rerun out until the very end of the month, and c) a very important thematic connection to an event currently happening in the VGM podcast scene this month, I’m releasing…..not one……not two……not four…..but THREE reruns ...

2025 Addendum (original show notes below)

Today’s rerun includes a tacked on 2025 introduction directed primarily at listeners on Terra Player, and also references links to two other “made on Steam Deck” NNR episodes. See those links below: C1E71: “The Wonder Years” [Channel 1]: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e71-the-wonder-years/

Today’s broadcast is C1E96 for Theme Thursday, June 26th, 2025 (happy 27th "dating" anniversary to my dear wife, St. Jodee). Today’s theme is a collection of music from games in my own personal Steam Library – planned, curated, produced, and distributed entirely on/from the Steam Deck (SteamOS desktop mode)! A collection dominated by music from indie games from the 2010's and 2020's and peppered with music from bigger-named games f...

Today’s broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to no...

2025 Show Notes Amendment: I love the setup we have here where on the first day of the month, we released our final ever TwoFer Tuesday, and now, here at the last day of the month, we re-release our first ever TwoFer Tuesday! It feels like a wonder twist on "bookends". As always when re-running early episodes, please excuse the atrocious production quality. One of my favorite things looking back on the early episodes of the...

Today’s broadcast is C1E94 for Theme Thursday, April 24th, 2025 (Switch 2 pre-order day.....take 2......we hope!). Today’s broadcast is a celebration of the music from the various mainline installments of the Jackbox Party Pack – the greatest "social lubricant" in the history of video games - and the longest run-time [quote] "ordinary" Channel 1 episode in Nerd Noise Radio history, So, buckle up for nearly 2 ½ hours of the sweet sw...

Today’s broadcast is C1E93 for TwoFer Tuesday, very conspicuously releasing on April 1st, 2025. Today’s "can you find the hidden gag" broadcast will be TwoFer Tuesday – vol. 11 – our final ever installment of the TwoFer Tuesday series, and though technically the second-to-last planned April Fool's episode, our last April Fool's episode to present a novel idea (since 2026's installment is slated to just be a sequel to 2020's reverse...

2025 re-run bonus notes:

This episode is the third in a trilogy of music blocks (parts 1 and 2 were our January and February reruns). Long time listeners may already know what this trilogy is all about, but for those who don't and have been following the reruns, the introduction to this episode finally explains what the trilogy is all about.

So, the fun [for me] question: of the three music blocks in the trilogy, which did you ...

Today’s broadcast is C1E92 for Soundtrack Saturday, February 15th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be the soundtrack to the game Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, on multiple platforms (St. John played it on Steam Deck), composed by Button Masther aka Jake Silverman – an episode originally intended to release in June 2024, and then again in October 2024 before being bumped both times. 

Tracklist! 

All tracks from Arzette: The Jewel...

2025 re-run bonus notes:

This rerun is releasing on the precise 5yr anniversary of its original release - in other words, this celebration of St. John's 40th birthday, featuring his wife, both his kids, both his parents, and his brother is re-releasing on St. John's 45th birthday!

Also, it is the second of a trilogy of music blocks (the first of which was last month's rerun), which, if not already clear to long-time listeners ...

Today’s broadcast is  C1E91 for Mishmash Monday, January 27th, 2025. Today’s Broadcast will be Mishmash Monday – vol. 16 – the debut episode of season 8, and our final "regular", "ordinary", "standard:, "customary" [pick your preferred term] season.

2025 re-run bonus notes:

Our first re-run of our return to the practice is also the first-released [second produced] of a trilogy of music blocks. Long-time listeners of the show may already know what I'm talking about, but newer listeners and/or those who do not remember may be perplexed by what I'm talking about. Well, it will all be explained in the intro to the final of the trilogy (releasing in March). DISCLAIMER: the pro...

Today, I have two special announcements for you - actually, three (though only the first two appear in the announcement recording)! Apologies for how awkward and unscripted this recording is:

- The first is a repeat of the all-call, calling our listeners away from Spotify - redundant, but worth repeating! - The second is an all-call to the listeners to get me tracks (see the links below to relevant documents and/or episodes). ...
