Today’s rerun is C1E30 originally released Theme Thursday, June 14th, 2018. Today’s theme was music from indie games, on a program we called "The Big Sound of the Little Guy – vol. 1". Amended 02/06/22 to include an all call for tracks for our upcoming "Best of 2020 / 2021" feature. The track list below has been amended to include updated timestamps and track numbers that account for the addition of the 2022 add-on.    Note: I apologize for the poor audio quality on my voice in the 2022 earcactcher.

For each episode of Channel 2, there are two separate Google Meet sessions between Hugues and I. The second one, where we meet to actually record the episode - an edited form of this second call is what ends up being the conversation portions of a Ch 2 episode. The first one, though, where we meet to establish run order for the tracks for the episode, you never get to hear because we never record it.   Well, this time, we did. And the reason why we did was so that I could have something to listen to to see how Hugues and I sounded together with me using my new Rode Podmic dynamic microphone rather than my old AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mic, to better help me decide which one I should use while recording with Hugues for Channel 2.   See additional notes below to learn more!   Legend:   "AT2020 Raw" = Hugues and I's conversation with no post-processing except for volume adjustments, where I am speaking through the AT2020.   "AT2020 Finessed" = the same, except for with the full battery of post-processing ap

May the Fourth be with you, Listeners! I -ALMOST- reran C1E9 "May the Fourth be With You" instead, which was our Star Wars game music focus. But this one was so much more relevant to imminently incoming new episodes, so I went with it instead. At the bottom of the comments, I'll include a link to C1E9, you'll get an informal "twofer" here. :-) Today’s rerun is C1E44, originally released TwoFer Tuesday, May 7th, 2019.

Today’s broadcast is C2R1 [Channel 2 Retrospective 1] for Wayback Wednesday, December 29th, 2021 -  a momentous occasion for Channel 2: our first retrospective - a look back at the non-standard 1.25yr long “Season 1”, as well as a look back to our at-that-time “one off” bonus in December 2019 that would go on to become the general template of Channel 2 and would retroactively become its unofficial “Beta” or “Pilot”, or “Episode Zero”. Join us for a 26 track journey through the first leg of our journey together on a “two pass chronology” looking first at “the best of Hugues”, before turning our attention to “the best of St. John”. Nerd Noise Radio proudly presents: “The Best of Season 1”!   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   SPECIAL NOTE 1 of 2: I had a really tough decision to make when it came to the naming of this episode. On Channel 1, I don’t use special naming for Best ofs. It’s just C1EX (channel 1 episode X) And they are just part of the 1

Today’s Broadcast is C1E60, for Theme Thursday, December 23rd, 2021 - our final episode of our very non-standard two-year long “Season 4”. So it is fitting that we’d end such a wildly non-standard season - filled with primarily wildly non-standard content already - with such a dramatically non-standard Channel 1 episode. Today’s episode abandons the customary Channel 1 “great big music block” mixtape format for a modified take on the original W.A.R.T. Radio format, featuring Trey Johnson of Nintendomain / W.A.R.T. Radio and St. John. Today’s episode is also a “Lost Level”, as it was originally intended to be a Channel F bonus “F-isode” to supplement “C1E40 - Listener Picks - vol. 1” from December 2018, and was intended to release right after it, in a nearly identical presentation to what you receive today. As such, today’s broadcast shall be “Listener Picks - vol. 2”. All music, other than the background music for the speaking portions was curated by listeners of the show, and are the roughly 60 remaining unu

Today’s “F-isode” is the complete collection of all music from season 1 of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 (Sept 2020 - Sept 2021) ***PLUS***, the music from Hugues and I’s December 2019 Channel F “one-off” that would go on to retroactively become the template, and “unofficial ‘beta’” for Channel 2. Though much longer, and a bit more clunky and unpolished, it is otherwise identical in format and fundamentally similar in delivery to what would go on to become the later Channel 2 “official episodes”.    Now, this collection is JUST the music from these episodes, with all the conversation between Hugues and I scrubbed. However, I will provide iTunes links to each of the full episodes (plus the full beta) so that you can listen to these tracks IN CONTEXT if you wish, and can hear everything we had to say about them.   Part of the reason I had included the tracks from the 2019 beta is to show where we’ve come from. Part of it is to show where we’re going. Part of it is simply because it’s full of really, really g
