BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast is a video game music and discussion show where we never play the same track more than once... or at least try not to! Every Wednesday and several Sundays, Bryan & Bedroth (and Kyle once a month) from RPGera present a selection of VGM for your listening pleasure based on a theme, series, composer, individual game, or an eclectic mix with Radio Hour to close each month!
We also have A Musical Review, which is our version of reviews for new release games.
Bedroth also presents BGMania B-Sides twice a month, which is a smaller focus on a particular game.
We hope you’ll join us on this musical adventure. Trust us.. this is not your typical VGM-related podcast!

Episode #392 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth continue the spooky month with one of gaming's most iconic archetypes, Mad Scientists! From whimsical inventors tinkering with impossible contraptions to sinister masterminds conducting horrific experiments, video game music has captured the full spectrum of scientific obsession gone too far.
We'll journey through laboratories both benign and terrifying, examining how composers balance intelligence with insanity, precision with chaos, and brilliance with moral bankruptcy. Prepare for bubbling potions, sparking machinery, and the cold, sterile atmosphere of corporate experimentation!
