The Sound of Play videogame music podcast

Here's our first update to our ongoing Patreon campaign to try and raise enough to allow us to make Cane and Rinse a full-time concern and to double the amount of Cane and Rinse podcasts we make each year. Remember, if enough of you respond to this appeal, you need only to commit as little as a buck per month (although - it goes without saying - more than that will be very gratefully received and make it far more likely that we achieve our goal) for five hours of Cane and Rinse and Sound of Play goodness every week! Become a Cane and Rinse patron here: https://www.patreon.com/caneandrinse On behalf of myself and the Cane and Rinse team, thank you for reading and for your support.
