Episode 46 – Reverse Picks!

When co-hosts pick tracks on a video game music podcast, it’s typically songs they enjoy. But what if you tried to guess which picks your co-host would pick? In this episode, Justin and Mike reverse their picks, allowing Mike to pick tracks he thinks Justin would enjoy, and Justin to choose Mike’s tracks. What follows is an enlightening episode that showcases the strength of how well the two hosts know each other, as we give our Producer-who-is-also-a-Metroid, Janine, a night off. No callers, just two hosts sharing and rating songs they think they other would pick.

We’d love to hear what you thought about the concept behind this episode, as well as Mike and Justin’s choices. What was your favorite track? Shoot us an email at [email protected] or join in on the discussion at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/XVGMradio
