Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Civilization Edition

Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics.

Civilization has earned its "epic" label. It's 20 years old and still going strong, its campaign spans almost all of human history, and (for many gamers) it has been around forever but doesn't get old. It also showed me that metal is a good medium for a history lesson.

Track list
