After GameXplain's Real Talk podcast ended in 2020, a rebranding was in the works. Unfortunately, this new podcast series never came into fruition, but it could in the future. Reflecting a more relaxing vibe, a new image with a sofa, Mario plush, and arcade cabinet in the background was made. For the theme, I explored a few ideas with The Easy Allies Podcast theme by FantomenK as a very loose inspirational reference. The results in early 2021 were three pretty different approaches, all using the official GameXplain Discussion Theme leitmotif.

I wanted to implement this idea I had for a while for a blues remix of the theme, and I figured this was a good opportunity to explore it. The first recordings of it sounded good, but they didn't quite hit the desired sound. And so, the pitch was abandoned. Since it wasn't going to be used for a podcast theme anyway, I realised that I could go all out with the bluesy idea and transform it into blues rock. This is the resulting expansion, complete with a new intro, B section, ending, and more layers in both the B and C sections from what I had before. Please enjoy!
