Episode 054: It’s Showtime!

 Welcome to The Diad Presents!

1,650,240 minutes later, we're back. Enjoy the show!

P.S./Warning: I goofed up part of my audio recording for the voiceover.  Alan did some magic to save it, but there may be some annoying artifacts still here and there.  But there is no way I was doing it again. 

I think the VGM all turned out clean.

Episode 049: Space Jams 2: Journey to the Center of the Podcastverse

Welcome to The Diad Presents!

After a bit of a hiatus, i'm back with a VGMJB-styled "dissertation" episode (skits and music), packed with plenty of familiar voices in the VGM podcast community.

Hopefully you enjoy the slight change of pace. Regular episodes return next time (and it's already in the works).

Sit back, relax, and cruise along with the flowing, groovin' Space Jams.

Mixtape 003: The Diad is an April Fool

Welcome to The Diad Presents!

My family was stricken with sweeping illness, my wife has a week-long business trip, and my parents are in town to visit. All this combined into a perfect storm and left us with a mixtape episode.

The jams are still smooth and cool, but the Diad is lacking. Hope you can enjoy it anyway!
