Gaming host John sits down with the incredible Josh Plotner, a world-class multi-instrumentalist and composer known for his work on major titles like The Witcher concert series, and video games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Join us for a gaming-packed episode as we explore how Josh brings soundscapes to life with dozens of rare and unusual instruments, how scoring for video games compares to film and TV, and what makes gaming music so emotionally powerful.

We dig into Josh’s creative process, his favorite games, bands, and what his dream project would be. If you've ever been curious about the sonic side of gaming, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
