Why listen

The Sound of Play podcast is a curated listening session for people who love videogame music, hosted by Cane and Rinse voices who mix personal picks, community requests, themed medleys, and occasional composer interviews. It works like a guided mixtape, giving you context around tracks from classic and modern games without turning into a dense lecture. Game soundtrack fans, retro players, and anyone who enjoys discovering music through enthusiastic commentary would feel at home here.
