Episode 53 - Chilly McFreeze VI: Stunning

It’s time to take a break with another Chilly McFreeze episode full of calm, relaxing VGM.

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. I’m also now appearing on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. 

During the show, I mentioned my two golf episodes. The very first episode of the show was golf-themed, and you can find it at https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-q4vfa-118a75b. You can find my follow-up at https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-xdsk9-1674ae3, and listening to both of them together is a good way to hear how I’ve grown as a podcaster with time and experience and also a slightly nicer microphone. 

I also mentioned composer Garoad during the third block. He’s been featured multiple times on the show, and you can find his work on his Bandcamp page at https://garoad.bandcamp.com/ or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@garoadmusic. Check him out!
