Today’s broadcast is Episode 34 for Soundtrack Saturday, August 25th, 2018. Today’s Episode is "Nerd Noise Crossovers - vol. 2: TwoFer Soundtrack Saturday. Soundtracks are the Contra, and Super C soundtracks for the NES

-Contra is composed by Kazuki Muaoka and arranged by Hidenori Maezawa and Kiyohiro Sada
-Super C is composed by Kazuki Muaoka, and Motoaki Furukawa, and arranged by Hidenori Maezawa

NOTE: The music block runtime in the show notes as well as what is said in the intro is incorrect. I forgot to include the Title Theme and (JP) Intro music in the music block, and only realized my mistake at the last second. The episode DOES include those tracks, but the timestamp reflects the music block runtime as it was before the last second addition of those tracks. My apologies. :-)

Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1  ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS:

Channel F: Special Behind the Scenes: Episode 32 Outro




The creation of the Episode 32 Outro was unique for the show, and very, VERY special for me. It was a family project involving the wife and the kiddo. Since this was a labor of love with people I love, I'm sure not all of the heart-swelling magic that I feel about it will be fully transferrable to an audience who doesn't know them. Here is my best effort to transfer as much of that magic to you as possible.



Supplemental background VGM used for this "F-isode" (the first Channel F outing to officially use the new nomenclature):



01: Octopath Traveler - NINTENDO SWITCH!!! - Cobbleston Highlands - Yasunori Nishiki - 00:00:00

02: Moryou Senki Madara 2 - Super Famicom - The Hunter's Repose - Tappi Iwase, Miki Higashino, Hirofumi Taniguchi, and/or Aki Hata - 00:36:58

03: Tengai Makyou: Fuun Kabuki Den - PC Engine - Theme of Reina - Keita Hoshi, Kohei Tanaka, Osamu Narita, Toshiaki Takimoto, Toshiyuki Sasagawa, Masami Kishimura, Masaaki Inoue, Akihiro Sato, Kayoko Kon, and/or Akihiro Honma - 00:46:53



NOTE: Each track is allowed to play through one time uninterrupted before I come in to speak.....so, enjoy! :-)
