Jayson Napolitano of Scarlet Moon Productions joins us to talk about soundtrack releases from across the ages, spanning the days of Nintendo Power promotional CDs to the modern digital sound files as we know them today. Album names fly furiously from all panelists, but Jayson inevitably puts the humble hosts to shame with a high-five worthy collection of soundtrack and knowledge stored with loving care. Best of all, the winner between the American and Japanese Sonic CD soundtrack wars is determined to be both of them!
