About this episode

Laura takes listeners on a nostalgic journey through the music and gameplay of Banjo-Kazooie.

H'yuk! Looks like today Laura is taking BBB on a journey through Banjo-Kazooie , the 1998 Rare developed platforming collect-a-thon released for the Nintendo 64. As this bear and bird combo takes us from snowy mountains to bays, and even through time traveling woods, Laura as guides us through Grant Kirkhope's compositions that dynamically shift during gameplay. Be ready for the nostalgia bump as we're reminded how good games used to be when slathered with goofy charms and upbeat transitional melodies as plucky heroes run about exploring colorful worlds for hours.
