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!
This past Wed, on “Momentum” (Feb. 5, 2020) the guests were enormously inspiring…..I did not get full details on who they are (tuned in late) a Mr. Connor? and a Mr. Stone or Jones?….would love to pass on to them my gratitude…thanks very much for DPS Wednesdays….all the shows are good.
Thank you James, here are the details and the archived shows:

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.
Thank you very much Tamara. We hope you stay warm!
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.
Sorry to hear that news KC. Hopefully this show will prove to be helpful or healing.
