Episode 10: Free Play

For our tenth episode we go for a free play, where we play whatever we like without having a theme. Tom ends up playing a lot of 9-bit songs, and Nat plays a huge variety including an 80s pop balad from a soundtrack and some eclectic remixes. We also have fun answering our first listener mail!
