Press Start to Continue DLC (5/8/17): Symphonic Resonance

This week I was proud to have Tommy Tallarico, the creator of Video Games Live, to talk about how he started the show and the way its put together. AND its our pledge drive!

This show exists because of Valley Free Radio… Without VFR or community radio stations like it we wouldn’t have weird shows like mine, or Joyride, or The Show with BS. Please think about supporting the station; all the money we collect goes right back into buying new equipment, repairs, and keeping the lights on. We don’t have any paid staff – we all work so hard at Valley Free Radio just because we love it so much.

Go to www.valleyfreeradio.org to donate literally any amount. For every person that donates, the estate of David Dow will give us an additional $10. So tell all of your friends to go to the website right now and donate just one dollar.

Playlist below!!

Thanks for enjoying this awesome ride with me, and I hope you enjoy this show. I took every song I played in the last year and found the ones that I’ve listened to the most. So its a show of all of my favorite songs!
