A wonderfully eclectic journey through the medium
Just to set the scene - I love this podcast so much that I downloaded iTunes, signed up for an ID and went through the painful process of setting all of that up JUST SO I could leave Sound of Play a glowing review. If, like me, you grew up playing video games and enjoying their music, but always felt a little bit weird about it (who the heck listens to video game soundtracks, eh?) -- this is the podcast for you. It's a brilliant vindication of the medium. Unpretentious, quirky and broad-ranging, this podcast has a little something for everyone and has introduced me to literally hundreds of tracks and games that I wouldn't have otherwise sampled. The hosts are always entertaining, the guests always interesting, and the music is allowed to breathe on its own. Sometimes we hear the best modern soundtracks, sometimes 8-bit classics. Sometimes we hear quite painful stuff that only a hardcore fan of a particular game or genre could truly love, and that's fun and fascinating to hear about in its own way. It all feeds into a joyful experience that makes introverted little nerds like me feel like we're not alone in our love for this endlessly inventive medium. I have listened to over fifty episodes in less than three months, and I can't recommend it enough!Read full review »

As a fan of ABC Classical’s ‘The Games Show,’ I’ve always wanted a podcast like this - a musical deep-dive into the world of video game tunes, from people who clearly relish the opportunity to do so. ‘Sound of Play’ offers an eclectic mix of videogame tunes, as well as episodes themed around a...Read full review »
