Square Waves Fm Podcast

Member us? Bianca and Brian? We used to podcast? Well, we’re podcasting again! Nice to be back. Sorry for the unannounced, unscheduled break. Laziness and nothing more. This week we talk about the games Bianca’s played lately. The song at the end of this week’s show is Cargo by Sam Houghton & Yakobo from the game […]

This week we reminisce about games and activities we use to pass the time while travelling. We also have an in-depth discussion about a sexy VR game and the role of ethics in fantasy and entertainment. The song at the end of this week’s show is the Monolith Burger themesong from Jones in the Fast Lane […]

**For some reason the MP3 didn’t get properly linked to the last post so we’re reposting this episode** Hiya! We’re back for another catch-up episode after some vacation time off. This week we talk about a meatspace room escape game, making sushi, and more! The music playing throughout this week’s episode is the Eve Online […]

Step into my kitchen. Don’t be afraid of the sharp knifes and stove top fires. It’s all part of the cooking experience. When the co-host is away, the girl will play. This week Bianca hijacks hosts Square Waves without her loyal minion to talk about cooking games, and well… cooking as a useful skill. The […]

We’re thrilled this week to welcome Bianca’s dad John to discuss starting gaming as a hobby later in life. Also, Joey makes an unflattering typo in the show notes. The song at the end of this week’s podcast is Twang by Tim Wright and Brian Johnston from the game Lemmings. It’s been stuck in Brian’s head […]

The song at the end of this week’s episode is Silver Mountains by Coda. Show notes: Online Games: Literature, New Media, and Narrative  Games Done Quick Would you […]

Guten tag! This week we talk about (too) many of our favourite casual games. Jewels, eggs, beads, marbles, bricks, none are safe from our overactive clicky fingers. Did you know the Germans have a word for casual games? Mausklikkenhurtenderfingerpainen. Zehr gut. The song at the end of this week’s show is Amazonas by Skaven. Show […]

The awesome Brandon Sweet rejoins us to continue our discussion of the rave scene this week! Super duper thanks to host and supreme podcast overlord Bianca not only for allowing Brian to dredge up this topic again, but also for taking the lead and turning the episode into an interview. And as always, a big […]

Yeah, uh, I don’t even know. I don’t even know what happened here. Robert Menes, Troels Pleimert, and Darth Helmet. And did someone mention kissing Iolo? I just don’t even know anymore. The song at the end of this week’s show is Stage 4 by Yuzo Koshiro from Streets of Rage. Show notes: Pinkerton Road closing […]

Oi oi! This week we welcome Brandon Sweet to talk about the Toronto rave scene of the 90s and 2000s. This is an epic chat of nostalgia about the hedonistic days of yore, fuelled above all else by our love of electronic music. Extra special thanks to Joe and Will StrangeFlow for their thoughtful voicemails, and […]

Woowoo! This would have been a more good-luck tale if Joey the carnivorous hellbird didn’t bite Brian so much. Regardless, whatever flesh remained of us made gumflapping sounds this week about remastered, rebooted, remade, reimagined, reincarnated, rejiggered, and redone games! Thanks again to Joe Mastroianni for the great new mic! Please let us know whether […]

What a great chat we had this week with our returning guest Chris Olson. This week we begin chatting about video game documentaries but there’s lots more territory to cover in an episode in the hopefully not-too-distant future. The song at the end of this week’s show is Sun Bleach by Lifeformed featured in Double […]

You found the page containing this text! Ding!

So many birds!!! We’re babysitting Grandpa Square’s budgies this week and, thanks to some post-production audio compression, the relentless chirpy jackhammering on our end sounds like a melodious heavenly for you. We need chirp-cancelling headphones or something, eh? We talk about real world lessons learned from video games this week. Like, wear a hardhat before […]

It’s a good thing Amayirot Akago is our faithful friend because he joins us in the Square Bunker to talk about cheating! I bet you never took us for pumpkin eaters, didja? The song at the end of this week’s show is Hotel Exteriors Future by Clint, Michael, or Peter from the game Day of […]

Ummmmmm what in the world did we talk about this week again? All I can remember is that we had our dearest of dear friends Troels Pleimert as our guest. I’ll tell you what we didn’t talk about though: the topic. The song at the end of this week’s podcast is I don’t even know […]

Ohhhh yeah, pump up that ego! Thanks for tolerating our downtime as we switched web hosts over the weekend. No real topic this week because we had an influx of fantastic letters from our beloved readers. Thanks a million, Squares!
