Bit Harmony: A Videogame Music Podcast

It's time once again for our annual mid-year check-in episode, celebrating our favorite video game music of the year thus far. It's also a fine excuse to talk about things like Arby's, Buddhist concepts of reincarnation, and getting the residents of Seth's Tomodachi Life island addicted to edible cigarettes. (00:00) Intro (18:14) Housekeeping (19:58) Sean Capri Presents the State of the Nintendo M...

In a rare, freely-available Mini episode, we're all the perfect shape. Listen in to learn all about Keita Takahashi's "to a T", its wonderful soundtrack, growing up, living with a disability, German milks and Tuesdays with Murray. ✉️ Send email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bitharmonypod@gmail.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📞 Leave voicemail at (216) 230-8540 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Not only is We Love Katamari home to one of the great video game soundtracks of all time, it also gives us a lot of space. It affords us the room to meditate on the inherently adversarial relationship between creators and their fans, celebrate the career of creator Keita Takahashi, and avoid rolling up too many cows or bears or cowbears. There's no point in thinking only about the future, so let's...

If your experience with Cuphead has been one of frantic, white-knuckle survival, you may have never sat and appreciated how buck WILD its soundtrack is. We're here to drink it all in . Get ready for a real high-class bout, gamers.

UFO 50 is perhaps the very best that video games have to offer - and it's full of revelatory life lessons. Matty and Seffy are here to impart the ones that matter: chew gum to brighten your outlook.

It's the Season 5 finale and we're finally doin' the damn thing. Final Fantasy X is not only one of our favorite videogame OSTs of all time, it's also a treasure trove of personal stories and goofiness. It's also provided us a safe haven to be Blitzball sickos publicly. It really is everything this podcast is all about. (00:00) Intro (17:55) Housekeeping (23:52) The Chunkiest Ever Sean Capri Prese...

Get excited, Babyshoes McGee: Tosh returns to share her unending - nay, infinite - love for Infinity Nikki. Today, y'all are gonna learn about how insane this game's soundtrack is, the dedicated community behind it, the fashion, and the Momo.

We, in our hubris, have chosen to tackle both Super Mario Galaxy games in a single episode. We're just that kinda cRaZy. Mario's outer space adventures brought with them iconic orchestral scores, creative level design, and introduced the world to canonical BBW Rosalina - so let's spend part of this month of Mario celebrating all of it (even if it's still overrated). ► ⁠ Check out our stream VOD wh...

We're finally covering one of our favorite Mario games! Super Mario 3D World is the ideal version of a Mario game in so many ways, including musically. A month of Mario is, if nothing else, a great excuse to celebrate how great Bowser is, the importance of a single inhalation of breath, and suffering together on Champion's Road. Never call Toad a liability. ► Check out our stream VOD where we play...

Nobody could've ever predicted that a couple of ragamuffins like us would someday have the opportunity to work with one of our favorite developers, covering a video game soundtrack that we adore. Let's celebrate the music and emotions of Lumines Arise with headbanging chameleon aplomb. Matt is now accepting any and all hats. This episode is very much in conversation with our Tetris Effect episode,...

Look man, we can't play or listen to everything . We barely function as human adults. Sometimes, things slip through the cracks; so we're kicking off 2026 by paying our respects to some 2025 games that Bit Harmony left behind. And also talking a lot about Escape from Ever After because it's really good. (00:00) Intro (15:37) Housekeeping (22:17) All Aboard the Sean Capri Express (49:05) Escape fro...

With this episode's release, we can all finally move on from 2025. Will Mario Kart World and Clair Obscur continue to be glazed? Will Matt be swayed on Pokémon Legends Z-A? Will Seth drop everything and play Skate Story? Find out in this climactic conclusion to 2025 (in 2026)! (00:00) Intro (13:55) Housekeeping (19:07) Sean Capri Gets Called Out Very Specifically (29:17) Trails in the Sky 1st Chap...

A new game from Analgesic Productions is an event for us and we couldn't resist pulling out all the stops for their latest, Angeline Era. Join us for a celebration of one of 2025's very best OSTs - as well as earth-shattering, wand-related reveals, faith, sexuality, egg-laying, bumpslashing and even more Taco Bell. (00:00) Intro (26:27) Housekeeping (31:38) Sean Capri Presents: The State of the Ni...

Join us for great music, earnest conversation of the human experience, anxiety, relating to a bear in a bowler hat and musing about Taco Bell for perhaps too long. Night in the Woods pokes at uncomfortable truths within us all. (00:00) Intro (19:02) Housekeeping (28:51) Sean Capri Presents: The State of the Nintendo Music Address (46:24) Night in the Woods (2:33:56) Patron thanks (2:36:37) Haikus...

Remember last year when we rang in the holidays with a hand-selected curation of winter-themed videogame music? Well that storm's a-brewin' up again, baby. Only this time, the forecast indicates a 100% increased chance of Snuffleupagus lore.

This one's YouTube comments all the way down. After mourning the loss of the YouTube Comment Oversharing Corner segment on our most recent episode, we've decided to release a fun little bonus pod to right those wrongs. And thank goodness we did - otherwise y'all would have never learned about the Cosmosmurf. ✉️ Send email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠ bitharmonypod@gmail.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📞 Leave voicemail at (216)...

We're capping off this season in grand fashion: it's time for a game show, y'all! Your two hosts find themselves in a knockout battle for the ages; their video game music knowledge pushed to their very limits. Matt & Seth enter the cage together to compete in special categories with songs they've chosen for each other. And then the listeners get their licks in with a ton of listener submission...

The nightmare swirls and churns unending, as does this podcast. Grant us eyes; grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy of Bovril and jacket potatoes. Let us sit about and speak feverishly, of glowing swords and giant horse men. (00:00) Intro (16:26) Housekeeping (21:45) Lil Baby Sean Capri Presents: The State of the Nintendo Music Address (28:49) Bloodborne (2:44:03)...

This spooky season, there's only one way to be — and that's DaNasty . Join us for a thorough glazing of classic Castlevania design, great music, nostalgic memories and choice phrases like "swamp dragons" & "fang sharpened freak". (00:00) Intro (14:33) Housekeeping (17:45) Sean Capri Presents: The State of the Nintendo Music Address (34:33) Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (2:26:06) YouTube Com...

Listen, man. We just completed a summer-long event; delivering sweet salvos of sumptuous, symphonic symposia on a weekly release cadence. Allow us this layup . It's been over a year since the first edition of "Oops! All Remixes, Re-Arrangements & Covers" - and now, we're delighted to offer up this second volume, with all of the greasy podcasting fat that implies. (00:00) Intro (15:15) Housekee...

It's the last full episode of our Summer of Nintendo event and we're sending you off with a special one! The themes of Chibi-Robo! are timeless and human and more resonant in 2025 than perhaps ever before. The game's mechanics exemplify hard work in service of the happiness of others and - yes - the music works in concert with that gameplay. It's the kinda stuff that hits whether you're playing th...

There was a time when this episode would've been considered the grand finale of our Summer of Nintendo - but there's a good reason why that's all changed now. Instead, tuck in to a dazzling return to form: a lengthy, in-depth discussion with your Normal Boys about Donkey Kong Bananza's wonderful soundtrack, unique design sensibilities and unnecessarily juicy asses. How could heaven be better than...

Good morning!~ We're keeping the Summer of Nintendo rolling with Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, but this episode's a special one. Seth is joined by a very special guest - his friend JB - to chat about the game's incredibly unique soundtrack, the upsides to "jank", the natural enemies of chickens, Shibuya-kei, chicken gods and more! (00:00) Intro (17:03) Housekeeping (18:50) What Would King Deded...

Bit Harmony's Summer of Nintendo takes flight in a giant mech as Matt somehow convinces his wife, Natascha, to return to the show and talk about Xenoblade Chronicles X! For all you Xenoblade heads out there: this is the closest you're ever gonna get, so we hope you enjoy. Also featuring the debut of a brand new segment! (00:00) Intro (11:39) Housekeeping (18:48) What Would King Dedede Order? (27:5...

The Summer of Nintendo has officially begun - and we're kicking things off with our most requested episode to date with the WarioWare series! By "most requested", I mean that two people requested it. Two cool people; and for better or worse, you've never heard anybody talk about WarioWare quite like we're prepared to. (00:00) Intro (14:55) Housekeeping (29:33) Sean Capri Presents: The State of the...
