Inevitably, life has managed to interrupt our usual recording flow but fear not! We dug out one of our earlier episodes when we were first building up the bones of The Midnight Connection. We’ve brought that forward for you to get a glimpse at how things began so you might catch us mention a thing or two that we’ve talked about before but there’s still plenty of good connecting going on.

This episode we discuss the state of video game remakes/remasters, screen time for our kids, and introduce some musical tracks of the week. What do you think? Did we sound better in beta or do you prefer how we sound in the show now?

This week we spend a little time introducing ourselves with three random on-the-fly questions. Then, we dig in deep to musical discussion and critiquing of a slew of artists, all listed down below. Lastly, we wrap things up with a general discussion about parenting and our views on how we currently approach being responsible for other little lives.

Each and every week we discuss, well, practically anything. But, more often than not we'll land on some combination of nerd culture, music, and parenthood.
