The 8bit Extravaganza
Each and every Wednesday night @9pm the 8bit Extravaganza records LIVE, to be broadcast over Kutztown University Radio’s airwaves the next night. The show is a pandemonium filled trip back into the land of video games, specifically the NES era, fueled by nostalgia and the music of the artists who remix, recreate, and rock out to the melodies that we have poured our lives into.

Conan, you are the man, I fixed all those links to the older episode! The path became case-sensitive after the hosting service changed a setting and I was unaware that the older episodes had not been updated! Podcast updated with the latest episode and the links are corrected for all the past episodes that had this problem!
