[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E82: Run and/or Gun”
Today’s broadcast is C1E82 for Theme Thursday, March 21st, 2024. Today’s theme is music from Run and Gun games (as best as I can define them), on a program we're quite hedgingly calling "Run and/or Gun"!

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in [just this once] a mix of Fedora Linux (on the old lapop) and Windows 11 (on the "soon to be 'Linux'd'" new laptop). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!
