It’s the fourth week of the Month of Music, as our stroll down memory lane continues!
We go through GameNTrain’s choices of some of the top songs of all time, with our focus this week on the 16-bit era! Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Turbo Grahx-16, all of these systems are represented today!
We’ve also got more great interviews in this week’s show.
We’re joined by Brian Mazzaferri of I Fight Dragons! Brian talks about what led to the formation of I Fight Dragons and what influenced the sound of I Fight Dragons.
We’re also joined by Matt Mosteller of Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. Matt is back on the show this week to talk about his new book!
GameOn Contributor Kyle Born is back on the show this week with a doozy of an interview! Kyle got a chance to talk with Chris Claremont, one of the most successful writers of all time! Chris is the man responsible for famous X-Men characters like Rogue and Sabretooth. Kyle talked to Chris ahead of the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo, so be sure to tune in for that interview!
