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

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

Today's Broadcast is C1E68 for Theme Thursday, October 27th, 2022. Today's theme is a collection of spooky, dissonant, jarring music for the occasion of Halloween, on a program we're calling "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara" - a "Lost Level", originally intended for C1E37: Halloween 2018, then bumped to C1E48: Halloween 2019, before being bumped indefinitely, and lost to the sands of time....UNTIL NOW! Featuring a music block produced all the way back in July of 2018, making today's broadcast "THE KING OF LOST LEVELS"! And even though the "production quality" of a music block this old is far inferior to our current fresh productions, the "design philosophy" behind this block remains to this day the most sophisticated thing I've ever done.
