Great way to discover music
This is my favorite podcast by far. The speak fondly and reverently about the music they share and the games that brought them those tunes. Lately they’ve been getting a lot of composer interviews as well which are especially rich and fascinating. My favorite thing about this podcast, and the other podcasts from this network (Named Cane and Rinse) is they have a professional attitude while being really genuine fans. The episodes are timeless because they aren’t about “what have you been ______ing this week?” So you can tune in any time, to any episode, in any order (although some much older ones have slightly worse audio). Sound of Play neatly combines talk radio with music. The subject matter is video games, but with video games becoming more mainstream the Sound of Play crew's broad reverence for games will hopefully become more common. The result here is a very warm video game journalism broken up by a very diverse selection of music. The composer interviews are a real treat and have been coming more frequently, but the basic format is solid even without a guest.Read full review »

More reviews of The Sound of Play videogame music podcast
Just like the Cane & Rinse podcast, Sound of Play is a breath of fresh air - the music being discussed is often deeply personal to the people who have selected it, but the discussion surrounding it makes it accessible, illuminating and enjoyable. Highly recommended! :)

Such a well-done podcast. I absolutely love the variety of music and the guests they have on are almost always great (including the hilarious, potentially fabricated interview with Tommy Wiseau).

Mixing music from the past and present, Sound of Play is the perfect ear candy for long workdays. The best VGM-podcast since Video Game Fm died.
