Happy Holidays, everybody!
As the tile suggests, I hadn't planned on doing this re-run. But when the realization dawned that the events which occurred in the story told in this broadcast (originally intended as the debut for Nerd Noise Radio - Channel F) occurred precisely 30yrs ago today - indeed, give or take 30 minutes, they were occurring 30yrs ago RIGHT NOW [as of the time I'm uploading this].
Apologies for the poor production quality, and especially the atrocious production quality in the tack-on at the end, which tells an even earlier Christmas story, and was actually the first ever audio production from Nerd Noise Radio, predating even C1E1. But I do hope that you will enjoy the stories told here, enjoy that the main one was happening right about now all those years ago, and enjoy witnessing the birth of what has serves as an occasional, but persistent fixture of the program!
Merry Christmas, and/or whatever other holidays you celebrate, and I hope today is filled with joy, peace, happiness, and goodies! And if you have the means to play one, get in a little Super Nintendo for my brother and I today! I sure know that I will!!
Cheers!

Saturday Nov 19, 2022
It’s almost time again for our end-of-year “Best of Season 2” (C2R2), on Channel 2, where Hugues and I will pick a combined 22 tracks from the 72 total which we featured across all of Season 2 in calendar 2022. Like last year, we’ll each pick 2 tracks per episode (one per episode per host from each of the two hosts), as well as each picking one wildcard track to serve as our episode opener and closer tracks.
To build a little excitement for that episode, as well as to give you a handy refresher of everything we did this year, we have put together a music-only recap of the entire season’s output (links will be included to each of the “full episodes” with Hugues and I’s dialog included).
Of the 72, we already know which 22 we’re going to feature as “Best of”s, but as there’ll be no spoilers on it, you’ll have to just guess and wait and see and hope your personal favorites make our cut! ;-)
You can also email us at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com, or reach out to us on social media telling us what your top 11 would be (one track per host per episode, plus one wildcard), and if we get some submissions before recording time, we can mention them in the episode (or if we get enough of them, perhaps we can even make an Archive SUPER BONUS release out of them).
Cheers!

Episode Music Block Runtime: 00:46:53
Episode Music Block Timestamps: 01:21:29 - 02:08:20
Special Notes: Nerd Noise Radio’s contribution to the greater “Masters of VGM” VGM community group project [www.mastersofvgm.com]. Also, this track has two more tracks than a typical episode of Ch 2 (16 instead of 14). Lastly, ever so slightly non-standard format (instead of H / J / H / J / H / J etc, it’s H / J / J / H / H / J / J / H / H etc - which will make more sense when you see the tracklist), and because of the weird formatting, Hugues also had the rare opportunity to get BOTH the opening AND the closing track!
Track# (total) / Track# (episode) / Track / Game / System / Composers / Selected By / Timestamp (brief pauses between all composer blocks):

36 / 08) Hugues’ [maybe]* Spencer Track: The Vents - Ecco the Dolphin - Genesis - 01:40:20

Special Notes: The final production of the original [main] episode was produced entirely on the Steam Deck (a first for the show). The various bits and pieces that comprised the show were made here and there across four different devices. The Steam Deck WAS one of them, but not the main one. The music block for the music-only version included in today’s episode (as well as today’s full episode) were NOT produced on the Steam Deck. I am committed to doing at least one episode where every single bit and piece of the production is performed ENTIRELY on the Steam Deck. This episode was not that, but was a FANTASTIC first [giant] step towards it, and as such, still very important in these regards!

Music Block Runtime: 01:25:40 / Total Episode Runtime: 01:43:57
Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Intro / Outro / Final Production produced using Ardour 6 / Audacity 3 in Ubuntu Studio [Linux] 22.04 09/08/2022. Music Block produced in GarageBand in macOS 10/19/2018.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The tools and techniques I used back in 2018 in producing the music block were NOT up to my current standards – including featuring less sophisticated fades, more imprecise volume level balancing, less developed track run-order sorting, and even my having used MP3s rather than WAVs in the source production, resulting in a lower-fidelity final product, and further limiting my ability to touch it up after the fact. As such, the production value of this episode will NOT be to par with our current "fresh episodes". But production values aside, the quality of the CONTENT itself, otherwise, I feel, is excellent, and well worth digging up to share with you.....I hope that you'll agree! :-)
You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.
Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:
