The Dreamcast Junkyard kicks off the year in style with the first DreamPod of 2026 – and we're diving into a subject we know is close to many Dreamcast fans’ hearts: the magazines.

Join Brian, Tom, James, Lozz and Lewis for a nostalgic deep dive into the world of Dreamcast mags. On the UK side, we explore the unique style and personalities of titles such as Official Dreamcast Magazine, DC-UK, Dreamcast Magazine (the unofficial one), Dreamcast Monthly, and the odd but fascinating kids mag Mr. Dreamcast. We also revisit Official Sega Saturn Magazine, which evolved into something of a proto-Dreamcast mag in its final issues.

Heading over to the States, Brian compares the tone and editorial style of publications such as the US' own Official Dreamcast Magazine and Ziff Davis' quarterly DCM (Dreamcast Magazine), while Lozz takes us on a globe-trotting tour of international Dreamcast magazines, shining a light on lesser-known titles from beyond the UK and US.

This episode features music from Pizza Hotline from his brand new Hot-N-Ready Remixes Delivered by Pizza Hotline [In 20 Minutes or Less] and his forthcoming Demo Disc 1 EP!
