    KNGI Introduces the VGM Radio Calendar

     

    Our friends over at KNGI Video Game Podcast Network, a premier online destination for video game music-related radio shows and web content, has just implemented a brand spankin’ new VGM Radio Calendar for all your video game music radio show needs:

    As you might know, there are dozens of web-based radio shows dedicated to video game music and VGM-inspired fare. To help you keep track of them and learn about shows you may not be aware of, KNGI presents the VGM Radio Calendar! From here, you can learn of the many radio shows around the internet dedicated to video game music and easily add them to your own Google calendar. KNGI/Arecibo Radio shows are included, as well as shows from the 8bitX Radio Network, SLAYRadio, RadioSEGA, Radio Nintendo and other networks, as well as a number of independent shows. If you host or know of another VGM-related radio show not on the calendar, just let us know and we’ll be happy to add it!

    Just to reiterate, you can add this schedule to your Google calendar. YoucanaddthistoyourGooglecalendar. Gone are the days when we miss an anticipated radio show due to forgetfulness! Huge thanks to KNGI for making the time to produce such an extensive list for the public.

  • Christopher Tin on Radio Free Gamer

    This week on Radio Free Gamer, we will be joined by composer
    Christopher Tin to discuss how his work, “Baba Yetu”, has impacted his
    career as well as the debut of his new album “Calling All Dawns!” The
    album is getting amazing press, so I’m really looking forward to this
    interview. Anyone who hasn’t checked this out should definitely visit
    Christopher’s site.
    Of course, we’ll also have some great, free video game music, the win and fail of the week, and more! Listen live at 7PM EST Wednesday, immediately following Average Joe Gamer here on 8bitx.com. This is going to be a good episode, so don’t miss it!

  • Radio ThaSauce Live — New Blog

    Dyne here, and have I (finally) got some news for you!  Of course, if you haven’t been listening to it, I run the radio show Radio ThaSauce Live! For those of you who have, this is good news for you too!  Recently, I decided to do a little work on a blog that I’d wanted to experiment with.  This is where the good news comes in!

    The blog is up and running, and while I’ll also be experimenting with it, I thought that I would use it for a greater purpose than just playing around.  It’s not the official blog of Radio ThaSauce Live, and you can check it out just by clicking here! It features news, the radio show event schedule, and will also be bringing you so much more!
    Keep checking it out to stay on top of events, show notes, and more!

    See you at show time!

  • Mutherpluckin’ B on Radio Free Gamer

    This week on Radio Free Gamer we will feature an interview with rock artist Henrik Lidbjork (aka Mutherpluckin’ B) about his latest Nintendo cover album and his plans for the future, including the band he recently formed! As usual, we will also feature great, free video game music, our win and fail of the week, and the latest scoops. Join us for Radio Free Gamer this Wednesday at 7PM EST, only at 8bitx.com.

    Also (if you didn’t know), you can follow @justinj212 via Twitter for updates and send a tweet his way with your wins/fails of the week, you can join us on facebook at the Radio Free Gamer group, and send any requests or questions to [email protected]! Thanks for checking out our show!

  • Radio ThaSauce Live – Returns!!

    Yes, tomorrow night, at precisely 10pm, Radio ThaSauce Live makes it return after six week hiatus due to moving, adjustments, and Otakon! I’ll be bringing the phat beats, so strap yourself in, and hang on tight!

    A lot has happened since the last time I did the show, and hopefully I’ll be able to cover it all, but we’ll see. Friday’s show has no time limit, normally it runs two hours long, however, I’m not going to set a limit on this particular show, so please, just show up and enjoy!
    To view the show, go here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/radio-thasauce-live

    — By the way, I do take requests. They can be made via IRC (on EnterTheGame) in channel before and during the show. If you can’t get on IRC, please make your requests via PM on these forums, or in the chat via the radio show’s web page.

    A few things of note, I’m going to be putting together a dedicated web site just for the radio show itself. I believe there is an embed code that I can copy into my code for the site so that everyone can just go there and chat and listen to the show. I will once again attempt to use the web cam for the show, however, if there are issues with the feed (there were last time), I won’t use it after this point. But, it was a good idea, right? Anyway, web site forthcoming, and listen to the show tomorrow night!
