E5The MinnMax Show - Half-Life: Alyx, Visiting Valve, 2019's Best Game Music

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! We have a very special episode this week as we're joined by music expert/podcaster Emily Reese to talk about her journey to Valve to play Half-Life: Alyx and record podcasts with the audio team. We also couldn't ask for a better guest to join us in raking our favorite video game tracks from 2019, you can check out the timestamps below if you miss the name of the song. We also talk a bit about MinnMax's first community meetup that will be on December 9th at 8pm at Bauhaus Brew Labs in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then we're joined by Jeff Marchiafava to answer a mountain of wonderful questions from the Patreon community.
