This year we are mixing it up! We are back again for our annual VGM special, but this time with a twist. Zach has devised a new format where each of the three participants were tasked with drafted four composers in a snake draft, each assembling a dream team of composers.
So sit back and listen as the trio discuss a wide range of composers from the last 30+ years of video game composition. Additionally, let us know who you think assembled the 'best' slate of composers!
Have any comments? Feel free to drop us a line via twitter @blowcartpod or email at blowingcartridge@gmail.com
