Sega's Ethan Einhorn drops by to discuss Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection in an episode that spans time, space, and the same dumb jokes made twice.

The ghost of Shane Bettenhausen joins the intrepid party of Parish, Sharkey, Barnholt and Kohler for a trippy, cross-talking journey into the mind of Shigesato Itoi's Mother series.

Unbeknownst to them, the regular crew (Parish, Sharkey, Barnholt, Kohler, and Bettenhausen) close out an era. Yet the show must go on, and brother, do we ever go on. At length: a year-end review show focusing not on 2008 but rather its older siblings 1988 and 1998. (And its weird uncle, 1978.)

Atlus localization editor Nich Maragos joins the Retronauts crew to discuss the history of the Persona series.

Ten years ago, Gordon Freeman mutely smashed his way into our hearts with a crowbar. Now, a ragtag team of rebels from other 1UP podcasts join the Retronauts in a battle to commemorate its greatness. Will they succeed, or will the headcrabs win?

Like the games themselves, Retronauts' look at Chrono Trigger's sequels is over-long, sloppily narrated and frequently confusing. But the music's great! And special guest Adam "MO" Fitch talks about his radical part in helping translate "Dreamers."

Ray Barnholt, Sam Kennedy, Garnett Lee, Jeremy Parish and Nick Suttner drag the Tomb Raider series out from the Underground to scrutinize Lara Croft's storied history.

Anarchy reigns as we drop all pretense of purpose or structure and spend 75 minutes responding to listener mail. Your brain will never be the same again!

"Barnholt, Bettenhausen, Parish and Sharkey gaze back through the, er, mysts of time to talk about Cyan's controversial (but bestselling!) point-and-click adventure. Baffling puzzles guest star."
