It's a special episode because we have our first-ever podcast interview! This week, PB & J sit down with Jake and Kay, the masterminds behind Sonic Con UK to talk about how a thought turned into a massive fan convention, the wild success of their Kickstarter, and what’s next for Raku Events.


We dive into:

🎤 The unexpected origins of SonicCon UK

🏆 The big wins and biggest challenges of running a convention

📣 How the Sonic community helped make the event a reality

📍 Moving the con from Manchester to London and how fans reacted

💰 Behind-the-scenes of crowdfunding a convention and why £15K was just the beginning!


And because it wouldn’t be a Convention Creatives episode without some surprises… we discuss unexpected furry convention feedback, and the mysterious big guest(s) yet to be announced!
