Music Block Runtime: 00:07:10, Total Episode Runtime: 00:15:06
Our Intro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights. Our Outro Music is Malo Mart, from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Game Cube and Wii, composed by Tōru Minegishi, Asuka Hayazaki, and/or Kōji Kondō.
Our final (of three – plus two Archive Super Bonuses) to be produced [at least partially] in Microsoft Windows – on the new Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 gaming laptop [shipped with Windows]. Also partially produced in Fedora Linux – on "Stickers" (the old primary laptop). Now that I've completed these productions on the ROG, I can finally flash it with Linux (probably also Fedora, or else possibly the Fedora-based Nobara, since this is a gaming laptop after all) and resume my life as a Linux-Exclusive user and producer. Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Linux (either Fedora Linux (Gnome), Nobara (Gnome), SteamOS 3 (KDE), Manjaro (MATE), Ubuntu DDE, Ultramarine (Pantheon), Ubuntu Unity, Sparky Linux (NsCDE), or on any combination of the Gaming PC "Big Rig", the Steam Deck, Living Room desktop, Mac Mini or one of three Linux laptops – Fedora on Laptop and/or Nobara on Big Rig being the most likely and most common). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!
You can also find all of our audio episodes on https://archive.org/details/@nerd_noise_radio as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.

"Autistic Spreadsheets" to see St. John's work:
1) Spreadsheet which lists every single track featured on NNR in 2023 - I am withholding this one until Hugues' C1R6b releases, because this will contain spoilers for that episode otherwise. I'll put this spreadsheet in the show notes of that episode instead (as well as putting a burst up about it otherwise).
2) Spreadsheet showing John's work narrowing down from the year's total of 466 tracks to a meager 50 for this best of (if you read all the title bars, then the document will become self-explanatory):

"Nucleus" - Alan Parson's Project - I Robot - 1977 - compare this piece to the PS5 Menu music! It's not 1-for-1, but the similarities are unmistakable!....and yes, yes, I chickened out of just putting it in the episode. Figured it wouldn't do to have our year-in-review episode taken off Spotify, right? Anyway, give this track til about the 01:30 mark and then the similarities to the PS5 track will just leap off the page to you - I promise!

![[Ch F] MEGA MIX: Channel 2 - Season 3 - ALL MUSIC [MUSIC-ONLY!]](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog1455063/NNR_Channel_F_Avatar_2018_300x300.jpg){kind=logo}
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Today's Broadcast is the entire collection of every single track featured on Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 during Calendar 2023 (Season 3).
All the conversation and dialog have been scrapped, so these are music-only. 5 little mini-blocks, kinda like 5 little "mini Ch 1s with no intros or outros", all shared back to back....to back, to back, to back. C2R3 (our best of year in review episode - as in "Channel 2 Retrospective 3") is coming very soon, and today's MEGA MIX collection is meant to induce a little excitement for that! Do you think you can suss out which tracks will be chosen by each host? C2R3 will feature four tracks from each episode (one track of each host....by each host - a la HH HJ JH JJ) plus one "wildcard" track apiece - which are used as the episode bookends.
NOTE 1: The tracks will be presented here in the same order in which they appeared in the original episodes, which in the case of C2E11, C2E12, C2E14, and C2E15 should all flow pretty naturally, as we do strive for at least some solid flow in the track ordering. However, since C2E13 is a focus on composers and follows the composer flow instead of the musical flow, that portion of today's journey may seem more haphazard and all over the place as a result. :-)
NOTE 2: With the lone exception of C2E13, Hugues and I take perfect turns sharing tracks on the episodes, as in, like JHJHJHJ or HJHJHJHJ. But with C2E13, we were taking turns by composer, rather than by track, and we'd each pick a track from each composer, resulting in a turn order that looks more like JHHJJHHJJHHJJH. If you're interested in following along with who picked what as you listen, you're probably better served to follow the track notes for C2E13. With the others, you just have to know who's going first, but C2E13 is more complex, and would require more attention.
