XVGM Radio is a VGM podcast, done in the style of a radio show. It was established in 2018 with one simple mission in mind: to bring an awesome & ecclectic mix of Video Game Music to your ears! Each episode will bring you new music, new topics, and hopefully show you something you may not have heard, or might not have thought to listen to otherwise. With co-hosts Mike Levy and Justin Schneider, you'll hear from game music composers, fellow VGM lovers and podcasters as well as musicians within the scene. Join the guys (and their producer, a Metroid named Janine,) as they take game music podcasting to a whole new level (complete with caller requests from game characters mixed with ones from Patreon members plus....silly commercials!) XVGM Radio....Where the Bits Keep Comin'!

We release shows (episodes) on a monthly basis – usually on the middle-most Wednesday.

All content for XVGM Radio is the property of XVGM Radio and is served directly from their servers with no modification, redirects, or rehosting. The podcast is not affiliated with or endorsed by Podjoint in any way.

Episode 124 – Mega Man Battle & Chase Soundtrack Spotlight

What’s faster than the speed of light? Mega Man Battle & Chase’s North American release date, that’s what! Released in 1997 in Japan and 1998 in Europe, this game completely missed it’s planned North American release despite ads and previews running for it in magazines. Initially forgotten as “just another kart racer copycat,” true fans of the genre and Mega Man fanboys, were given something truly unique in sound and style! Rev up those engines while you hear the XVGM Radio boys chat about their time playing the game. Buckle up for exciting discussion about the game as well as reviewing interviews with Keiji Inafune and some of the illustration artists taken from the Mega Man Official Complete Works book! Honk the horn when…the guys get a late call from Mega Man 8 era Dr. Light?! But most of all, stay locked in to drive your way through 12 incredible tracks from this exciting soundtrack! Don’t miss racing to the finish line on this episode of XVGM Radio!
