Episode 4

Oh No, House Of The Rising Rocketship

Published on: 1st July, 2020

Craig and Scott are trying to discover free music that's actually GOOD. They usually fail.

In this episode we introduce a new feature—that Craig keeps secret until half way through.

Craig eats too many Giant Skittles (but doesn't like them), Scott finally gets some answers right in the quiz round, and a song about Santa doesn't seem quite right...

The Rules

  1. Pick 8 tracks total (4 tracks each)
  2. The music has be royalty free (Creative Commons licensed for us to play or public domain)
  3. Pick them as blind as possible (don't listen to them fully)
  4. If you're struggling, pick the ones with the most interesting name
  5. When the track is playing we dip at 1 minute and ask: "is it good enough to continue?"
  6. The song can be stopped immediately if it is "obviously s**t"
  7. Score the song out of 11

About the Podcast

Free Music Discovery
A radio show with a difference. Two friends exploring free music. Sometimes they find something good.
They've been friends for a long time. They've always loved music. Well, apart from West. He knows nothing about music. They've always wanted to do a music podcast.

But.

Playing proper music on a podcast is expensive. So they decided: can we just randomly select 8 free music tracks, play them, rate them, and have a laugh?

The answer was yes. Free Music Discovery was born.
