From your backlog to the bleeding edge. Life’s a Game and this is the soundtrack.
Welcome to LAG Radio, a weekly broadcast dedicated to the sounds that define our digital lives. Every Wednesday, from 6-8 PM PT, we take you on a journey through the cultures of nerdy music, from independent creators to global phenomena.
Hosted by Chris Torrey AKA Marmar tha Midboss, veteran radio DJ and lifelong nerd, LAG Radio is more than just a playlist: it’s a curated experience that bridges niche online communities.
Since 2012, Marmar has been interviewing the creators behind the tunes, bringing you exclusive insights and stories directly from the producers, artists, and entertainers themselves.
LAG Radio airs live on KUCI 88.9FM Irvine, CA, and streams worldwide at KUCI.org, spotlighting:
- Video game soundtracks & their composers
- Chiptune classics & up-and-comers
- Vocaloid hits & hidden gems
- Vtuber and Vsinger originals & covers
and plenty more that lives in the margins of nerd and internet music culture.
Here on the site, the Episodes section features full playlists from each week’s broadcast, along with direct links to YouTube, Bandcamp, and other platforms where you can support the artists directly.
The Reviews section includes Marmar’s take on local and national events in gaming, anime, Vtuber culture, and the broader nerdsphere, plus early impressions on games and films when I get a sneak peek.
The Interviews section highlights conversations with the many talented creators he has hosted over the years, from recently debuted Vtubers to Grammy award-winning composers.
