ETAO PODCAST, EPISODE 124.

Whether you’re a longtime listener or just tuning in—either way, thanks for that!—here’s a roundup of our conversations from 2021. These are of course just samples, especially insightful or funny or surprising moments from their respective episodes. If you want the full context, and a whole lot more good conversation, then do check out the full shows.

This is of course also a golden opportunity to feature a whole lot of incredible music from the games under discussion, so see below for the list (with a few copyright limbo-dwelling 78s thrown in where the guest didn’t have a music-bearing project to share right at the moment).
