This week's episode asks the very important question: What's YOUR video game music major? Enroll at our university and contemplate your academic specialties while Josh holds golf lectures and Emily feels inadequate. Also, Josh describes another leg-related Pokémon Go incident and fears a setback in his healing process; Emily does her best to restore his confidence and cheer him up. Does it work? Sit in and see!

Well patrons, this week we're meeting up in an old locale that's undergone some modern renovations. As we all adjust our perspective we'll reflect on the slower pace of the past and imagine a future in which we still have to wait around for things. Could a transcontinental network of Game Boy Link Cables have existed if technology had progressed differently? Will a social schism develop along individual preferences for instant or delayed gratification? And how do YOU feel about dollar store items that cost more than a dollar? Consider all this and more as you de Blob your walls with Josh, Emily, Haju... and of course, regulars like you.

Well patrons, we did it. It's been two whole years since The VGM Jukebox podcast hit the airwaves, and it's time to get the whole family together to celebrate. Eat a truckload of candy, spin around for thirty seconds, and enjoy the 100x multiplier as the parade floats roll by. Since this is a super long episode, be sure to pace yourself halfway through by reflecting on the beautiful impermanence of the moment before diving back in for more tunes, tales, and the lengthy conclusion of Reading the Runes. Thank you to everyone for all your support, recommendations, conversations, observations, and felicitations. Congratulations!

We asked you to open your hearts, and you delivered. Come join us on an emotional journey as we travel through six amazing tunes dedicated to some very special people out there. As your hosts read the dedication letters, reflect on the siblings, significant others, science class egg babies, and very special babysitters you've been grateful to have had in YOUR life. Get covered in virtual sap, wash it off with some hefty shampoo, and then wash it down with a jumbo ice cream sandwich. When all is said and done, you won't be able to wipe the grin off your face.

This week's recommendations take us from the city lights of Tokyo to the wide open skies of Texas during a rare back-to-back block of vocal tracks. Along the way hear about that time Josh and Emily solved a puzzle by buttering a lock, witness the birth of Definitely Darryl's musical foil, and revisit your comfortable Californian memories of the Bubble Bauble Challenge via Video Game Nostagia Patch #5. So, won't you join us at the bar? We would be honored.

You may have heard that Josh broke his leg last Friday -- but as it turns out, a few separated bones weren't enough to keep him from recording an episode. Join Emily and the other patrons at his bedside a mere three days later to get caught up on the whole story, including the choice language, angels, and mobile games therein. Emily is clearly ecstatic to have her co-host safe and sound in her classy overworld party this week, and we know you will be, too.

On Episode 59, Emily and Josh imagined a world where we had VGM radio stations based on different themes. This week, they make that dream come true with KFWY, the Fairway, a station with ultra chill golf tunes and a DJ who reads blog spam as if it were fan mail. So turn that dial over to KFWY, and make sure you're caller number 80.

Josh and Emily forgot to mention that this week would be a special episode, so... surprise! Welcome to Josh's VGM (Video Game Media) Room, a place where he likes to enjoy pop culture gaming items that aren't the games themselves. Jump on this nostalgia train and take a tour of commercials, foods, and television themes starring some of your favorite electronic franchises. There might not be a lot of furniture in front of the flat screen yet, but grab a carpet square, pour yourself some garbage cereal, and settle in for this experimental VGMJB adventure.

Dreams really do come true, especially if you've stolen some potion from Emily's inventory. Join her and Josh as they witness imagined game soundtracks come to life with the help of Ed from Pixeltunes Radio. Topics of conversation include Definitely Darryl's family, the nature of bass, the potential attitudes of Boos, the incongruity of medieval video games, and what makes something sticky. Then, hold on to your hats for a brand new segment, "Reading the Runes" wherein Emily recounts her adventures in Ultima IV. Finally, get ready to be dazzled by Mixxmaster's VGM beatboxing! Need I mention that these jams are jams? What are you waiting for? Slip into the bar for another shot of The VGM JUKEBOX!

A few weeks ago, Josh and Emily visited Ed and Mike of PixelTunes Radio to listen to some patron picks at PTR's place -- and they came home with a doggy bag of extra tracks! Join them on a quest to listen to those final three listener recommendations, and along the way ponder the mysteries of Stonehenge, the henchman probability in Gotham City, and that good good like whoa, bruh. When does childhood end? Does medieval fiction naturally beget tons of lore? And why was your character eating that sandwich, anyway? Look at the runes and do your best to meditate upon these questions... despite the sound effects in the background.
