Episode 148: Digging in the Dirt (National Miner’s Day)

Welcome to December, and this week, we’re getting dirty as we celebrate National Miner’s Day on December 6th. The day has three-fold purpose: 1) recognize the hard work and labor of miners and their families, 2) honor the Monongah Mining Disaster, and 3) bring awareness to mining safety and procedures. Without them, roads couldn’t be built with asphalt and cement, houses wouldn’t have a solid foundation, and computers wouldn’t exist. We’ll be listening to tracks from video games that having mining: a side-scrolling adventure above and below the surface, a farm in the valley, and space dwarves mining the planet. There’s also covers and remixes to follow each track. Put on the overalls and gloves, heave your pick axe, and prepare to dig into this tracks.   National Miner’s Day Senate Resolution 337, of the 111th Congress The 10 Best Mining Games Chubby Checker Sings About Dig Dug…     Track Listing “Underground” – [Terraria] – composed by Scott Lloyd Shelly “Underground Terraria Remix” – remixed by NoteBlock “Mines (Marimba of Frozen Bone)” – [Stardew Valley] – composed by ConcernedApe “Mines (Marimba of Frozen Bones)” – Staredew Valley (Percussion Cover)” – covered by V-Ron Media ft.
