Sonic Weekly

Ashlyn Anstee returns with star animator friend Aaron Long (Bojack Horseman; Tuca & Bertie) - and they join Grant, Smoovies, and David to react to the announcement of Sonic x Shadow Generations, and then take an extended detour in '90s nostalgia with some discussion of Archie Sonic. They also talk about Sonic OVA Reanimated 'Sonic Rebuilt' which you can view at that link. And speaking of links...

The four fellas pull out a grab bag of assorted random Sonic topics — introducing the Sonic Gab Bag! This is a rambly, freewheeling episode where the detours are the destination. Tell us what topics should be in the next Gab Bag by emailing us: [email protected]!

Writer and comedian Jordan Morris (Jordan, Jesse, Go!) joins the fellas for a lively look at Sonic 3D Blast (originally released in 1996 for Sega Genesis and then Sega Saturn) and a wide-ranging chat about Sonic initiations and Sonic cults. It's an all-around Sonic Blast (originally released in 1996 for Game Gear)!

Whoa! Keith Stack arranges for a meeting of the Sonic minds - Cybershell and David the Lurker, in a wide-ranging conversation about Sonic origins, and Sonic now. Also on hand are Grant and Bo, checking in on a light Sonic news week and another busy week for Saturn fans.

Year Two of Sonic Weekly kicks off with a Baja 3D Blast, and Bo burning up the retro gaming blogosphere. We talk about the many Rings of Saturn he's spinning, plus David delves into the new old info about Sonic Heroes, and everyone takes another swing at making bold predictions for Sonic in '24.

In Season 1 Episode 47, the fellas gather again for one last episode of the year to reflect on all of the Sonic things that happened over the past twelve months, and look ahead to 2024.

• For more Bo: Rings of Saturn!
• For more David: ⁠⁠Sonic Retro!⁠⁠
• For more Grant: ⁠The Void!⁠
• For more Smoovies: ⁠his YouTube channel!⁠

The four fellas are back together for what will have to be the holiday episode, with a bunch of Sonic news to cover. Will Shadow appear in Classic games after all? Did we finish Sonic Dream Team yet, and is it indeed the best Sonic game of the year? And how about that new video on Sonic 2's development? Plus, Bo continues his journey of modifying Sonic Team's Saturn games — be sure to follow his Substack here! We also respond to more mailbag prompts — please send us more by emailing [email protected]!

Grantpa, David the Lurker, and Smoovies offer some initial reactions to Sonic Dream Team, The Game Awards, and the big SEGA announcement. Plus we reach into the listener mailbag for some additional prompts to discuss a certain fan favorite Wii game.

Artist Keith Stack joins in for a wide-ranging conversation about Sonic the Hedgehog — we rate the Badniks in Superstars, we discuss Yuji Naka's inspiration on Suika Game, and we count down 'til Sonic Dream Team on Apple Arcade (this episode was originally recorded November 30).

Kris Dobbins & Sean Aitchison are the hosts of Sonic Podcast Adventure and join Grantpa, Bo, and David the Lurker for a crossover episode!
