Today's Broadcast is C2R3 for Wayback Wednesday, December 20th, 2023. Today's episode is our highlights from Season 3 of Nerd Noise Game Club (Channel 2) - our look back at calendar 2023.

Today's Broadcast is the entire collection of every single track featured on Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 during Calendar 2023 (Season 3). All the conversation and dialog have been scrapped, so these are music-only. 5 little mini-blocks, kinda like 5 little "mini Ch 1s with no intros or outros", all shared back to back....to back, to back, to back. C2R3 (our best of year in review episode - as in "Channel 2 Retrospective 3") is coming very soon, and today's MEGA MIX collection is meant to induce a little excitement for that! Do you think you can suss out which tracks will be chosen by each host? C2R3 will feature four tracks from each episode (one track of each host....by each host - a la HH HJ JH JJ) plus one "wildcard" track apiece - which are used as the episode bookends. NOTE 1: The tracks will be presented here in the same order in which they appeared in the original episodes, which in the case of C2E11, C2E12, C2E14, and C2E15 should all flow pretty naturally, as we do strive for at least some solid flow in the track ordering. However, since C2E13 is a focus on composers and follows the composer flow instead of the musical flow, that portion of today's journey may seem more haphazard and all over the place as a result. :-) NOTE 2: With the lone exception of C2E13, Hugues and I take perfect turns sharing tracks on the episodes, as in, like JHJHJHJ or HJHJHJHJ. But with C2E13, we were taking turns by composer, rather than by track, and we'd each pick a track from each composer, resulting in a turn order that looks more like JHHJJHHJJHHJJH. If you're interested in following along with who picked what as you listen, you're probably better served to follow the track notes for C2E13. With the others, you just have to know who's going first, but C2E13 is more complex, and would require more attention. ---------------------------------------------------------- Episode: C2E11 - "It's SPACETIME"Originally released: 03/03/2023Episode Theme: Space MusicEpisode Theme by: St. JohnEpisode Title by: St. JohnOpening Track: St. JohnClosing Track: HuguesEpisode Link: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL25lcmRub2lzZXJhZGlvL2ZlZWQueG1s/episode/bmVyZG5vaXNlcmFkaW8ucG9kYmVhbi5jb20vNmE2MmZjZjctYjAyMS0zZGM4LTgzY2ItMTc1ODcwMzQxMzli?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjojaS965aDAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQEpisode Timestamps: 00:00:00 - 00:42:20 Tracklist Track# - Track - Game - System - Composer(s) - Selected By - Timestamp 01) Snow on the Moon - Fantavision (NA) - PS2 - Ashif Hakik - St. John - 00:00:00   02) Moon’s Surface - Dig Dug Arrangement - Multiplatform - c: Yuriko Keino / a: Unknown - Hugues - 00:04:55   03) Terran Theme 3 - Starcraft - PC - Glenn Stafford, Jason Hayes, Derek Duke, Big Tuna, and/or Tracy W.

Today’s “F-isode” is a look at the fabulous chip-tribute Album, “Time and Place”, written by Adam Frazier and Elijah Moore - on a program we’re calling “A Time and Place for Time and Place” - recorded on-location at the Iowa State University campus radio studio!   Tracklist   01) Blimp Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:21 Introduction - 00:02:00 Discussion - 00:06:50 02) Clear Sky Music - 00:09:43 Discussion - 00:11:54 03) Sand Castle Music - 00:16:06 Discussion - 00:18:40 04) Odyssey Music - 00:24:49 Discussion - 00:26:40 05) Wrath Music - 00:30:03 Discussion - 00:32:09 06) Magma Music - 00:38:52 Discussion - 00:40:59 07) Valor Music - 00:44:38 Discussion - 00:48:24 08) Pixels Music - 00:58:52 Discussion - 01:00:40 09) Puddle Music - 01:06:49 Discussion - 01:09:39 10) Waiting… Music - 01:12:34 Discussion - 01:14:10 11) Clouds Music - 01:22:40 Discussion - 01:25:01 12) Icicle Music - 01:31:24 Discussion - 01:34:19 13) Orbit Music - 01:40:14 Discussion - 01:42:46 14) Party Hat Music - 01:47:03 Discussion - 01:48:50 15) Below Music - 01:53:52 Discussion - 01:56:03 16) Searching… Music - 02:01:23 Discussion - 02:04:12 17) Credits Music - 02:07:45 Discussion - 02:12:33 Our other projects - 02:21:55 Outro [track[ Discussion - 02:23:23 Sign-off - 02:28:17 18) Outro (Co-written by Noah Moore) Music - 02:28:43 Outtakes - 02:29:28   Total Episode Runtime: 02:52:11This episode is dedicated to the memory of Noah Moore.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PRODUCER’S NOTES: 1) the background music during the talking portions were “baked into the recording” and for whatever reason, the left channel was completely missing. I mixed it down to mono for the episode so that it would at least come out of both speakers (and would be louder in the mix), but half the track info is still missing. I typically do not produce episodes this way, but this is what I had to work with in the studio context, and was unable to do anything else about it in post.2) Usually, each voice is recorded separately so that I can adjust levels and apply compression etc to each element individually. In the case of this recording, all three voices, as well as the background music were all on just one track, so I could not adjust individual components individually. And in addition to the problems mentioned above with the background music, St. John’s mic was hotter than Adam’s and Elijah’s since I was sitting closer to the mic than they were. I was able to mostly correct for this in post by applying more compression / limiter / amplify passes than are usually required. I think the final results on this point are actually pretty reasonably good, and this actually had the latent benefit of only further raising the volume on the BGM as well - which had been too quiet originally.3) This part SUPER excites me! The ISU radio studio used Electro-Voice RE20 mics, where St. John typically records using a Shure SM7B. These two mics are within $50 in price of each other, and are collectively the #1 and #2 most commonly used mics in professional radio and professional podcasting contexts. I had always wondered and worried whether or not I made the right choice going SM7B instead of RE20, and how my voice would sound on the RE20 instead. This experience gave me the opportunity to find out, and I think the RE20 sounds fantastic! The jury’s still out for me on which one I actually sound BETTER on, though, because I think the SM7B sounds pretty amazing as well. So any gearheads listening to this episode and reading these notes, please listen to either C2E13, C2E14, or C2E15 to serve as a comparative to this RE20-propelled episode and let me know which sound you prefe

On the other hand, these tests are VERY reliable, so if they do indicate you have autism, you very likely do. Therefore, the advice of St. John is to take the tests, and then take those results and find a professional with whom you can show and discuss them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17a6jSemcC5LO_HDqjB8iGHQcsJCMmr-1/view?usp=drive_link Links to Autism / ADHD / AuDHD YouTube videos mentioned in this episode.   Proudly Autistic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIRHGRQ0JiE Beardo Bloggins - https://youtu.be/JzXhX38V-ZU?si=mHTIwyAK7vqQ7rB9 Savannah Brown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFlrHxn6xcA Not Your Average Zebra - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EHlKi4V_f0 Kaelynnism - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CZMD8jMDpoA Illymation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Vy2BPmMS4Links to Autism / ADHD / AuDHD YouTube videos mentioned in the previous episode Yo Samdy Sam - https://youtu.be/pMx1DnSn-eg?si=Xe

In light of the recent turn of events involving Spotify, and its impact to Nerd Noise Radio in particular, the VGM podcast scene more broadly, and even music podcasts of all types, I wanted to get a special announcement up right away about what's going on, and how Nerd Noise Radio is responding. This announcement is most directly applicable to our Spotify listeners, but applicable more broadly to all listeners of Nerd Noise Radio, and even to non-listeners in the VGM podcast scene - particularly to our fellow podcasters, be they NNR listeners or not. -St. John

Apologies if anyone feels like I’m making too big of a deal about all of this, but you have to understand that this diagnosis changes EVERYTHING for me! It feels like a 43yr chapter of my life has ended and a new chapter of greater clarity, optimism, self-love, and opportunity has begun. It simply means that much to me, gang! I promise that I won’t keep talking a ton about it for the rest of

[EDITOR'S NOTE: In addition to being a really special episode for me already in that it features one of my all-time best personal friends, and also includes a really fun, really touching extended conversation between us at the end of the episode (which we're somewhat euphemistically calling an "interview"), or even for the episode featuring an "SM7B vs Podmic" mic comparison by way of the intro / outro [SM7B] vs "interview" [Podmic], which is the kinda stuff that I really geek (even if very few others do), perhaps most special of all for me is that this episode will also go down in history as being the very last episode of NNR ever to be produced by a non-confirmed autistic person. Though this episode is releasing AFTER my diagnosis, it was recorded and produced PRIOR, and therefore, all the both scripted and unscripted dialog was had from the perspective of someone who only THOUGHT he was autistic, as opposed to the person who now KNOWS he is. Both my side of the conversation, and my friend's side were each occurring from within "the suspension of the pending", from the absence of certainty. Now, in retrospect, it turns out we were right. But we didn't KNOW that at the time. So to hear everything that is said from within that paradigm, especially knowing from hindsight how it all plays out, to me, at least, makes it all feel so precious, and gives it, I dunno, something of a sense of innocence, I guess. And that, along with all the other aspects mentioned above make this a very, VERY special episode for me. Hopefully you'll agree! -St. John]   --------------------------------------------------Today’s broadcast is C1E79 for Soundtrack Saturday, Sept 23rd, 2023.
