Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels (hi-fi)

Well, this is it, folks - our very last episode of Channel 2, taking a long….VERRRRRRY LONG last look back through the entirety of our show’s history, and featuring at least one track from every single episode! This episode really is obscenely long - just shy of 5 ½ hours! But it covers so much history, and is our way of putting a bow on everything. So we hope you will stick with us for the entire thing! Presented in a hybrid-format of Ch 2-style talkie portions and Ch 1-style mini-mixtapes, and broken up by season.  ------------------------------------------------------------   Intro Segment [00:00:00 - 00:14:22]   ------------------------------------------------------------   Track# (segment / total) - Track - Game - System(s) - Composer(s) - Selected by [this episode] - Originally from Episode - Originally Selected by   01 / 01) Title - Jaguar XJ220 - Amiga - Martin Iveson - Hugues - C2E17 [Season 4] - Hugues Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:08 Introduction, Top of Show Business, and Discussion - 0
