Ep. 56: A Skosh Gauche

Josh and Emily continue their quest to revive "skosh" in the national vernacular in this very introspective episode about time travel, coaxial cables, the distance of childhood, and what you would change if you could go back. Many of the patron testimonials touch on the time travel theme too, so get ready to reflect on the stages of your life and contemplate how your past experiences have made you who are today.

Ep. 55: Warm Relaxing Harmony

Hold on tight, patrons -- this week's episode gets off to an action-packed start, and not just musically. Josh and Emily wind up spending a great deal of time conjuring up various superhero and supervillain crossover battles and debating their hypothetical victors, but since this IS The VGM Jukebox Podcast, somehow everything winds up settling into the spa zone by the end. So whether you're ready to fight for humanity or watch the world burn, you (and your favorite sensei) are cordially invited to sink into a hot spring of warm, relaxing harmony with us.

Ep. 54: Other Marc

Josh and Emily are trying to start up a new hashtag this week (#firstfavorite) as they return to one of the podcast's original themes: ***nostalgia***. Join them and think back on a world filled with KB Toys, Where's Waldo books, official video game customer service lines, and birthday parties at local arcades. They also come up with yet more potential business ventures for the VGMJB brand, including a radio station! So grab a pepperoni pizza, swig some rootbeer, and tune into KLJM for a relaxing and low-danger kind of Friday.

Ep. 53: Popability

Josh and Emily have gotten so many track recommendations from the Final Fantasy franchise that it's time for a Final Fantasy fan focus. Join your hosts as they take a chronological stroll through the musical landscape of this flagship RPG series and discuss interpretive dance, potential VGMJB matrimony services, the concept of dynamic village songs in real life, and the possibility of their own presidential bid. Adachi/Glyph 2020!
