Final Fantasy. Skyrim. The Legend of Zelda. These and so many other video game franchises offer beautiful, sweeping scores for players to get lost in. Unfortunately, however, they're not always known or appreciated by people outside of the gaming community. Recognition is improving through live concerts and awards, but there's still a long way to go. The latest effort to champion and broaden its appeal is a new radio show on Classic FM. It'll be hosted by Jessica Curry, co-founder of British game studio The Chinese Room and composer of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and will focus on symphonic video game music in particular.

The programme will run for six weeks, starting on April 22nd. It'll be broadcast every Saturday from 9pm to 10pm, with the option to listen online, through DAB and FM radio, and the Classic FM app.
