Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Portal 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, world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for relevant terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and uncover hidden gems. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Portal is an example of what a world-class development studio can do with one great idea, a solid game engine, and some clever writing. It ended on a memorable song by Jonathan Coulton, but left plenty of room for this playlist of soul, spoken word, and scientific comedy songs.
