    On drive home I heard the announcer say they video game music will be played. I walk into the house and hear Chrono Cross’ Time Scar play. Some one has some very good taste to even know of that one outside the love of games and music.

    Too many assume that video games aren’t art despite all that goes into them beyond story and visuals so I am not only surprised but very happy to hear that others can enjoy this part of video games as much as we do!

      Thank you Philip, we think orchestrated video game music fits in nicely with our programming and there’s lots of good stuff to choose from so we sprinkle it in from time to time. Thank you for the note, it’s nice to hear you liked it!

    I tend not to have the time to listen to DPS radio, but I am listening tonight–Polar Vortex Wednesday, 2019–and I find the conversation happening among these engaging, learned, and compassionate women engrossing and unexpectedly helpful. Thanks so much for airing this; I’m sure everyone listening has found something applicable to their unique circumstances in this far-ranging talk.

    This is a very poignant subject, the story on grief during the holidays. My wife passed away in January after a hard battle with cancer. Hard hearing this, bit it’s good at the same time.
