112: LIVE - 20/11/20 [Weekly VGM Radio & Podcast]

No interview this week, but we do have a stacked playlist of sidekick celebration! I explore some of gaming's most well-known tagalongs, player 2s and assistants; all with the help of my wonderful regular listeners. You'll hear my own Top 5, along with a whole host of other great choices!

Besides the theme, this episode finally brings some concrete (and complex) answers to the VGM SongFight battle. Hopefully, it'll make more sense as the story unfurls, but you can rely on three strong news points this week, and a devilish round of the Sound Effects Showdown. Additionally, there's a sample of next week's ST2 Star Wars special right at the end!
