Episode #421 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan closes out the month of April 2026 with another eclectic mix in Radio Hour, Volume 86!

We've got a slightly extended Radio Hour this month due to a mini-review being included for People of Note in the middle. I just couldn't choose three songs from this game. Every single one of them deserves to be listened to and appreciated. Besides that, we have a ton of new releases, some really fun listener submissions, and Bedroth, as usual, takes us in some very different directions.
