But I do agree that was a fantastic episode. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the one with Brad and Jeff at the Giant Bomb office once people started complaining about the Mobcast audio quality.

It's a little more focused on the behind-the-scenes strategies/ideas for their respective companies, but I thought it was really interesting.

It sounds slightly familiar. Does anyone know where it comes from? Did Jeff make it? I really like the Bombcast's intermission music. It sounds slightly familiar.

I'm glad Retronauts got the runner up spot, I think it definintely deserves it if for nothing else than after 2+ years it still remains extremely listenable.

As Jon mentioned, I think the deciding factor was that a few staff members remembered liking the Retronauts theme, but couldn't immediately remember it. Rebel FM has a theme that all of us can immediately think of, hum, or even sing.

No slight against Jeremy and his crew, but I just think that the ground tread by 8-bit music is well stomped upon, which makes me draw back a little. However, Retronauts theme does stand out from the crowd, but not enough that it instantly popped into my mind when I tried to recall it. On the other hand, Rebel FM's song stuck in my head for a couple weeks after Anthony, Arthur, and Tyler introduced it. Not only that, but just the beat of the song and the carefree mood of the music reflect the mood of the podcast, which is typically light and entertaining. The lyrics are also well written but don't drag on too long. When it came down to it, I felt that RFM's theme was far more representative of the show than its competitors.
