Geeks and Beats Podcast, Episode 103: The Sounds of Star Wars

Once again, please excuse the creakiness in my voice on this week’s show. I’ve still got the monkey pox from my trip to Borneo. This is probably why I let Michael babble on about his Star Wars fetish in the first part of the show–and the medication (coupled with the scotch) is probably why I found it interesting.

• The Star Wars trailer is out and the Internet is melting down.
• Deconstructing the sounds of light sabres.
• The Emperor’s lightning bolts? How is that connected to Frankenstein? Like this.
• And the origin of the Star Destroyer’s engine sound? This.
• We LOVE our Patreon patrons!
• Tidal is a failure. Here’s more proof.
• Norway is killing FM radio. Why you shouldn’t care.
• The return of Guitar Hero.
• The “Universal Record.” I don’t get it.
• A very cool virtual tour of Abbey Road Studios.
• Nine songs your parents (allegedly) had sex to. Ew.
