A very special episode this week: friends of the show Phil Tucker and Damian Gibson – Joel’s former radio-show co-hosts – join us to talk about music in games. Damian is the host of the podcasts WrestleWolf and Agents of Narrative. Phil – who made the music for the pod – was a touring musician for 10 years, and now works as a composer.

In the first of two podcasts, we talk about the function of music in games, and indulge in some reminiscing.

• Hypnospace outlaw
• Mario
• Guardians of the Galaxy
