Rhythm Encounter 18 – Hometown

Tragedy struck this past month, as perennial Rhythm Encounter co-host Derek Heemsbergen was eaten alive by a rampaging mass of natto (that’s fermented soybeans) while traveling overseas. Fortunately, he managed to escape through a clever combining of wit, charm, and potpurri, though his untimely consumption did result in his missing the recording of today’s episode. While we all wish Derek a safe trip home, former guest Mike Salbato is upgraded to “show regular” alongside another new face, friend-of-the-show Caitlin Argyros. Join us as we chit-chat about all manner of town and city themes in episode 15 of Rhythm Encounter, Hometown!

In the spirit of travel, Stephen takes the Rhythm Encounter ship on a trek through some of our most beloved town themes. Listen as the team gets wild with Wild ARMs, toughens up with some Brave Fencer Musashi, grins hard with Grinsia, and commits original sin with Divinity: Original Sin, among many other exciting highlights! Derek, not with us due to a freak dogsledding accident abroad, is covered for by Mike Salbato and newcomer Caitlin Argyros!

Note: We had to re-number our episodes several years after publishing. This was originally Episode 15, as reflected in the audio. Don’t worry, you’re not missing anything!

Featuring: Stephen Meyerink, Mike Salbato, Caitlin Argyros
