Thanks for checking it out :)

[🌆 #15: Audio Portal Roundtable]

Aaand I've finally caught up with these! Another interesting listening session, and playing a couple tracks for the listeners along with the talk was a nice way to combine the two too, and get a feel for the artists included. Kinda wish the music could've played by itself though, elaborations later, for maximum audial appreciation. ;)

Anyway I'll definitely be checking out some of your music after this. ForgottenDawn sounds familiar but I'm not sure I've heard any of your stuff before... if I did leave a review back in the day though pardon my short-term memory. Cheers in being around all this time, and glad you found your way here too KawaiSprite! Better five years late than never.

Can't praise NG enough as the ancient, ever creative, resiliant, review evoking bridge that it is between Independent and mainstream! Ain't nothing like it.

Looking forward to the next pod.

Will responds:

Dude! Congrats on getting caught up! Reading through your comments and your journey through listening to all of these has been a delight. Thanks for your support!

[🌆 #10: Aimee Smith (Voice Actress)]

Was pretty sure I'd left a review on this already, but I guess I'll do so now. Was a pleasure to listen to! Fun and inspiring, and a lot of info on the VA path along the way. Though the ending really came on abruptly, no questions or thanks, just one impression and then... that was it. Nice impression though. XD Didn't come across so loud here. Assume: good editing.

ATheatricalSongBird responds:

Aww, thanks so much!

Haha, man we did a LOT of talking, so couldn't blame him for trying to keep it under the hour! XD
So glad you enjoyed it though!!

I just really love the mood with this one! Well, more than that, but it's so strangely hopeful, contemplative, dreamy, wishful - maybe that's the best word for it - all the while being somewhat melancholy and depressing. It seems like the kind of song you could use to overcome such a state of mind too.

The production quality's good, not too loud, clear and balanced, but I felt like the lyrics hit me the most here, and it's sung in a way that feels refreshingly meaningful. From the soul. A little sad, but with a brewing calm all the way. The days do fly by... but I wouldn't mind playing this while they do. Maybe there's some meaning there after all.

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you for the wonderful review. It means a lot to hear from listeners.

[DZNY WRLD]

So happy! :D And jumpy. Nothing like this to really bring your energy levels up a bit. Crazy groove. Pizza Roll style.

KawaiSprite responds:

Thank u! As long as it brings good vibes.

[Bunn & Skoda - This Is Our Fight (Full)]

Partial stereo mess seems to work well. XD I gotta get better speaker placement though, to fully appreciate the mix on a per-speaker basis, both are pretty much in the same spot... small room. Anyway this is good. Subtle intro, subtle outro, and good stuff in between. Wasn't that different from the other one after all, but all good.

[🌆 #7: Mikkel Mainz (Tales of Alethrion)]

It does take a while to load these podcasts here! But then again I appreciate how the file is actually there once loaded. You can go offline if you want and it'll keep playing. I guess the download feature would suffice for that buuut... it just feels pure somehow. Oldskool. Outdated but: I like it.

Regarding the podcast itself though this was awesome. Awesome guest, awesome insights, awesome flow with the conversation too for the most part. Props to Mikkel on jumpin' on at such unfavorable hours too! XD Those timezones. Relatable.

Thanks for the show, hope the kickstarter makes it, and looking forward to listening in on more of these in the future. And watching way more Tales of Alethrion. Would be pretty cool if you could do some kind of follow-up to this in a few years. Whenever it becomes relevant.

GroundsPatrol responds:

Thank you Cyberdevil!! Glad you like us! A follow-up would be a great idea for down the road.

[Bunn & Skoda - Honey Bee Rock]

Such a fast-paced and frantically upbeat thing! :D Can dig, though the pace compared to the original, holy shit. XD There's some kind of Madness to this one... not as easy on the ears, but it does loop perfectly, and it'd probably make for some pretty intense party music too! Not bad.

[Honeybee Flats (2018)]

Is that a... custom quote? Copied from someone wise and grand? Compared to Skoda's remix this feels incredibly chill and ambient though. I like it. Simple but really smooth and uplifting.

Bertn1991 responds:

I heard it in a song a long time ago. The guy singing was really bad at yodeling, but it was on purpose. Also, thanks for listening! :D

[Episode 21 - Discord & etc. (w/ ninjamuffin99)]

Humble origins, horrible Steam experiences and great accomplishments on the shoom. Good stuff. These podcasts are pretty chill... easy to have on in the background. Think I'll be tuning in again. Any thoughts on adding a quick excerpt on podcast contents with these descriptions though? Just a quick rundown on what y'all are talking about? Not that I'd personally need it, and the links seem way more important, but... just seems proper.

Good stuff overall! I like the atmosphere.

GoodL responds:

Yeah that's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
