March 13, 2021 – No Show This Week

Hey, people of the world,

Unfortunately, there will not be a new episode of The Arcade for your listening pleasure this week.  On the day that Mike and Dennis were set to record, Dennis was taken out of commission with a case of migraines.  Here’s hoping things clear up and he’s right as rain to record next week.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get your fill of our smooth sounds by checking out the many past episodes available for download on both our iTunes and Google Play pages.
