The podcast currently has 75 episodes available.
In a tribute episode both to the predecessor of Music Arcade, and in many ways one of the reasons it exists at all, Galen "The Soundguy" Firestone, Ranakel, Dezxter and Ryan "RyBred" Hawks gather once again to talk about the end of service of the global version of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Join us for something different, an episode full of memories of the game, and what happened around it too.

Ready for spooky season, the crew dips once again into that spookiest of realms: anime games!
From the horrors of Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 to the scariness of Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, you bet we... totally aren't talking about spooky games at all - but, in true Musou/Samurai Warriors fashion, they sure have some cool songs!

Today, the crew relearns that there's nothing better at bringing people together than a good concert.
Checking out Kanto Symphony's Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire concert, the team not only finally finds the ever-elusive clarinet, but also has a ton of fun appreciating a great fan concert.
We also highly recommend you check out the official Kanto Symphony YouTube channel.

The wheel of instruments is spun again, landing on clarinets - and its curse strikes, as usual, though in an unexpected way.
Stick around to see how many times the words "yep, that's actually an oboe" are uttered as we talk games such as Age of Mythology, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

This week, the crew braves the shadows and talks about cool songs from games they've... never really played.
We run the gamut: from the "what?" of Ace Combat 7 to the "uh..." of Grim Guardians to the "huh" of Ultrakill. Yeah, we might be a bit lost - but the music is good!

This week, the crew simply feels like blowing stuff up - and while we can't have C4, these explosive tracks should do.
From the obvious 'Splosion Man to the slightly less obvious Grand Poo World 3 (you read that right), get into all things explosive (in video gaming)!

This week, the crew is after some catharsis - the kind that we can only get from a franchise with almost as many names as it has unnamed mooks.
Should it be called Samurai Warriors? Dynasty Warriors? Warriors Orochi? Sengoku Musou? Shin Sangokumusou? Musou Orochi? Something entirely different? Who knows - all we know is it's got some great music!

This week, the crew decides to do some light reading and check out the world of visual novels.
From instant classics like Doki Doki Literature Club to games barely anyone has even seen for decades, like Radical Dreamers, there are plenty of solid beats to read to in this episode.
