Advertise on podcast: Beards, Cats and Indie Game Audio

Back again for a new year. Our firsts episode of 2026 is with Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer. Last year at GameSoundCon I managed to sit down with Brad for a conversation. End of the day we sat down outside in a sort of quiet area and talked about game audio stuff and art and guitars.

It's a month late cause I got the worst flu ever but it's finally here! I had a great conversation with Mark Kilborn where we talked about classic sounds and retro games amongst other things. As well, this will be the final episode for this year. I need a bit of a break so going to take a bit of time off. Going forward, I'm playing on each year being a 9 episode season. I'll be at GameSoundCon again this year, gathering interviews to release next year. I hope you enjoyed this season. See you next year.

Super fun chat with sound designer Martin Kvale this month. Very glad to finally do this interview.

Super fun chat with sound designer and composer Neha Patel for this episode. We talked all over the place. Sound design for Venba, composer payments, going on walks to see the neighborhood cats. https://www.nehapatelaudio.com/  

Gord's back again! We catch up on what's been going on since the last time Gord was on the podcast and answer a few listener questions.

This episode I talk with Megan Carnes (composer, implementer) who loves nerding out about interactive music systems.

My last interview from GameSoundCon 2024. I was able to sit down with Maximilien Simard-Poirier (sound designer, guitar nerd, professional French Canadian) who organizes the Interactive Audio Montreal meetups and chat about running a meetup for 7 years. https://www.interactiveaudiomontreal.com/ https://youtube.com/@interactiveaudiomontreal?si=hQhWzMP2Jres-2xL  

This month I've got a great conversation I had with Lewis Thompson and Greg Lester from Airwiggles while we were at GameSoundCon 2024. We talked about some different sound design tips and tricks and Airwiggles and drinking water (for some reason).

This month my guest is Bonnie Bogovich (vocal artist, audio designer, and chicken and human choir arranger). We sat down at GameSoundCon in Oct 2024 and talked about dialogue and sounds and educational games amongst other things.

Hey everyone. Beards, Cats, And Indie Game Audio is back. It's been a long break but I'm back with a new episode. Come have a listen while I catch up with our surprise guest. (It's Gord, Gord is the surprise guest) Matthew

Hi everyone, It's been a real long time since. But it's official, that was just a really long break and the podcast is returning in 2025. I'll be flying solo as the host (I'm sure Gord will turn up every once and awhile) and I've already got a couple interviews recorded waiting to be edited. Regular monthly episodes should start dropping mid Jan 2025.  Thanks for listening and I'm very excited to be back doing this again. Matthew

With this episode we welcome our new co-host, Rachel Sim. Rachel will be filling in at times so Gord can take a break. This time around we talk about how Rachel came into the industry, mentorships, community support and as always answer some questions.

Back at the podcast for 2019. We had a bit of a break to deal with life and all it can bring out side game audio. We catch up and talk about what we've been up to, games we're working on, conferences we went to, Gord having a kid and then answer some questions.

And here it is, the last episode of 2018. This time we talk our way through a bunch of random stuff. Upgrading cheap mics, Gord giving away something, and his trip to Thinkercon. Teaching people what you do, black friday sales, getting the most out of a vacation and how we learn perfect pitch. As well as one user question.

Another multi-subject podcast, we dig into the past month of our lives. Gord took a whirlwind trip to Paris to exhibit Wandersong at Indiecade Europe, while Matt went to GameSoundCon to give a talk on the Mark of the Ninja Remaser and take part in a panel on advising composers interested in getting into sound design. We discuss losing gigs that were totally-in-the-bag, working while a bit rusty, taking things one at a time during stressful period. Oh and Korean food & architecture.
