 |
In this, our first podcast episode, we are joined by Mike Ackman, who performs chiptune music as Together We Are Robots. Mike is about to leave San Francisco for sunny Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for reasons of citizenship. We sat down with him while we still could, and discussed his new album, Ghost Stories, and what’s in store for him going forward. We also discuss the Blurred Lines verdict briefly, and play our first Top 5 Game.
