This week, we are celebrating our four years of RE-VGM, showcasing covers and remixes of video game music and putting a spotlight on musicians who arrange, cover, and remix them. It was on February 2nd, back in 2022, that the first episode was released; it was on one particular track from “Kingdom Hearts” titled “Dearly Beloved” and three separate covers and remixes. From there the format slightly changed to a themed celebration with three original tracks and three inspired tracks. Later, “On Stage Now” was added to feature a musician or band and their works of covered or remixed VGM.
For this episode, I take a look behind the numbers for this past year’s episode and play inspired from the top 3 episodes, according to the number of listens on the day of their releases: a video game about roller skating and tagging, three games displaying generosity, and a musician who takes his music to 11.
Enjoy all of these tracks in celebration of RE-VGM’s four years podcasting and showcasing original VGM and their covers and remixes. Oh, and be sure to take a giant balloon of your favorite color on the way…

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
