Ep. 45: The Location of Consciousness

Who said necromancers believe in ghosts? Emily definitely doesn't. So we talk about things in which she does believe, like the power of videogames to strengthen friendships and the power of musical textures to transport her to another place. Meanwhile, Josh is insistent on giving you Pokemon Go tips (ughh), and he introduces the hit new gameshow, Name That Pokemon! Special thanks this week to Cameron W. for playing us out this week with a very tasty cover.

Ep. 44: Under a Groove

Full disclosure: This episode was recorded on Election Day, so Josh was not sure whose crown he would soon be polishing (it's his job). But despite their enthusiasm about the democratic process, Josh and Emily imagine an entirely new political system -- one in which we replace our current economy with the construction of a single giant robot. Don't worry though, dear patron, its design will be realistic and practical. Stick around for Shiny Pokémon talk, as Emily reveals the depths of her mysterious commitment to palette-swapped 'mon. And stay strapped-in for the long-awaited return of the Carrot Man. It should go without saying, but of course this will all be served on a bed of piping hot jams. Yeah, you got it, it's the VGM Jukebox!

Ep. 43: Pipe Dreams

This week Emily starts out with some negative status effects, but Josh and the patrons mix up the cure in the form of disgusting healing items and fantastic jams, respectively. Listen in while they explore pipe dreams of Cadillacs riding dinosaurs, VGM composers commandeering pop concerts, and a world where Shy Boo and Cookie get along. Josh also opens a mystery package on this episode, which among other things includes a very, very important inventory item. Who ever said necromancers weren’t considerate?
