Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

The gaming world is mourning the loss of a true pioneer. David Rosen, the American co-founder of SEGA, has passed away at the age of 95. Eammonn Dignam looks back at the life of the former Airman who saw an opportunity in post-war Japan, eventually merging his photo booth and arcade business to create a company that would challenge Nintendo for the soul of the industry. From the Sega Master System to the cultural phenomenon of the Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog, we honor the man behind the "Sega!" chant. Learn more about your ad choices.

A new year means new reasons to look backwards on The Hill Is Always Greener, and we can't think of a better one than to see where it all began for the silliest of Sonic cartoons! That's right, we're taking it back to the Fall of '93 to discuss the origins of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog! But we're not just talking about the first episode, "Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad", recounting the birth of our beloved dumb-bots. No, we're also taking a look at the workprint of the original unaired pilot used to sell the show to advertisers! So join us as we see what changed, what stayed the same, and why we still get a good laugh from this show every single time.

We take a look at a game that was considered a April's fools joke, but is honestly a pretty fun time. I came in with no expectations and had a good time in a visual novel with some mini games in it. They made a creative game based on sonic that paid homage to his earlier adventures with lots of Easter eggs. Come hear what we think. Starring Mike Albertin, Phoebe Stanton, Joe Butler, and Dominic.

In this episode, host Kalie Moore talks with Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg, Co-founders of Story Kitchen, the studio behind major game-to-screen adaptations spanning Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider, Streets of Rage, and more. We explore how transmedia is evolving in a UGC-first world, where players don't just consume IP, they shape it, and why Roblox worlds are starting to look less like “games” and more like living franchises.The conversation dives into what actually makes a game adaptable (and when it shouldn't be touched), how Story Kitchen stays aligned with developers and communities, and why they don't chase heat even when a title is exploding. Dmitri and Mike also unpack Story Kitchen's producer-first business model, the realities of timing and greenlight power in Hollywood, and what UGC creators should focus on if they ever want their worlds to travel beyond the platform.We'd like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible! Whether you're a gamer, creator, or game studio, Overwolf is the ultimate destination for integrating UGC in games! You can check out all Overwolf has to offer at https://www.overwolf.com/.We'd also like to thank Lightspeed Venture Partners for making this episode possible!

The Blue Blur himself has FINALLY made it onto The Retro Blast Podcast and it's long overdue! SEGA found itself in a stranglehold in the early 90s as Nintendo dominated the video game market in the United States... And they were almost out of options. Until a little blue hedgehog with super speed AND a super 90s attitude hit the scene and changed the video game landscape forever. The Gamersician himself is back to join Host Patrick Brickhouse for a nostalgic conversation about what it was like to be a kid in the 90s when Sonic hit the scene, what we love about the game to this day, and OF COURSE, the music—With a very special section in the later half of the episode where we discuss comments from Patrons about their favorite OG Sonic songs and memories!

We're not quite ready to leave the past behind! On this holiday season, Dan and Tay live up to the Radio name and host their very own music wrap-up awards show! They discuss many of the classic soundtracks that came before, and place them in arbitrary categories that mean nothing. That's how these things typically go, right? They also read out an endearing fan letter that had some fun things to say about Sonic R! And don't fret, listener - these two still get up to audio antics as they discuss which president would make a better replacement in Adventure 2. Relax, get your family together, and tell these two that their pics for this year's awards show are wrong!

In this captivating episode, journey with us through the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland—from the historic streets of Dundee to the enchanting capital of Edinburgh—as we welcome special guest Mark Anderson, co-host of the acclaimed The Scottish Paranormal Podcast.Mark shares a wealth of firsthand paranormal experiences: growing up in a profoundly haunted home, witnessing unexplained UFOs dancing across the Scottish skies, and encountering mysterious entities that emerged from nearby forests to linger ominously outside his residence.He recounts a mind-bending moment when reality itself seemed to shift—the sky transforming into an ethereal purple hue, evoking the otherworldly portals of Stranger Things.Adding to the intrigue, Mark describes a profound and unforgettable encounter during a school trip to France: an extraordinary interaction with what he believes was an angelic presence. Far from traditional depictions, this manifestation left an indelible mark of divine or celestial intervention.In the 90s, one of the era's most iconic games was the Sonic franchise on the Sega Mega Drive. Mark recounts a truly bizarre moment while playing Sonic the Hedgehog, when the character suddenly displayed uncharacteristic movements that seemed completely outside the bounds of the game.Join us as we venture deep into the misty Scottish Highlands, uncovering the nation's most extraordinary and enigmatic phenomena that blur the line between the known and the unimaginable.We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

USS Sea Fox (SS-402), a Balao-class submarine, was a vessel of the United States Navy named for the sea fox, a large shark, also called the thresher shark, which frequents the coast of Europe and the Americas. Sea Fox was laid down on 2 November 1943 at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine; launched on 28 March 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Robert N. Robertson, widow of Lieutenant Robert N. Robertson, who survived the sinking of USS Squalus only to be lost during the war as executive officer of USS Argonaut. The submarine was commissioned on 13 June 1944.Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog #4200:00 Intro04:10 In Every Kingdom There Must Exist A Little Chaos!
