Here it is, the recorded show from Monday, July 14, 2025. This episode features some really awesome tracks in the new music segment, along with a chat with Arcade Knights about his innovative sound that incorporates synths from the 80s.

I was able to talk to Paul Hamilton and Lindy Hickey of Hamilton Sound and Dave Fitzpatrick of The Fables. They shared their personal experiences with Mark and...
