After about a year and a half of absence, the Retrocast returns with monthly installments! In this month’s episode, discussion over Sonic 4: Episode 2 and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed takes place.
Once again, the issue of “HEY GUYS HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE HYDROCITY ZONE” has popped up in light of RubyEclipse mentioning it in a recent Sonic Generations video. Fortunately, the crack team at Sonic Retro is here on the case to resolve a dumb question (Spoiler: Ruby got it wrong.) Enjoy this very tiny podcast.
HELLO MY NAME IS JONATHAN AKA DRUMMOND4LYFE AND THIS IS MY NEW PODCAST ON SONIC RETRO WHERE WE TALK ABOUT VOICE ACTING IN SONIC GAMES AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THE SERIES.
TODAY ON THE SHOW I TALK TO MY FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL ABOUT WHO IS THE BEST (DRUMMOND…DUH) AND WE SHARE OUR GREAT IMPRESSIONS WITH EACH OTHER. AS ASPIRING VOICE ACTORS, WE HOPE SEGA IS LISTENING AND WILL HIRE US TO BE VOICE ACTORS BECAUSE VOICE ACTING IS CRITICAL IN SONIC GAMES. SO CRITICAL THAT PEOPLE ARGUE ABOUT IT FOR YEARS ON END FOR “GOOD REASON.” NO GAMEPLAY DISCUSSIONS HERE THATS FOR DUMBGUYZ. VOICE ACTING IN SONIC GAMES MAN FOR REAL!!!~

Clocking in at a little under a…um, year since we’ve last done a proper podcast comes the fourth Sonic Retro podcast! Coming in on the heels of lost podcasts, podcasts where we only talked about Shaq-Fu: The Return, podcasts which were too embarrassing to see the light of day, we give you…a slightly less embarrassing recording of Sonic Retro staff and friends pallin’ around.
This episode we take on the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog fan film Return to the Little Planet 2 (and our ensuing confusion over how it even relates to the Sonic series) and speculate on Sonic the Hedgehog’s 20th anniversary, only to realize there’s not that much to speculate on at this point; therefore, we look back at other anniversary milestones and assess what they mean on the eve of this major event.
Our friend Bartman performs hosting duty this time around, and the show is, as always, mixed and produced by InstantSonic. Who knows–maybe we can get around to doing these more than once a year eventually.
In a spur of the moment decision, the Sonic Retro podcast crew decided to get together last Saturday for a Sonic Retro podcast special focusing around discussion of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Participants this time around include Tweaker, InstantSonic, Spexfox, JackSkellinghog, Slingerland, Aquaslash, Katzu Niku, and David the Lurker. We’re a bit late for making the Super Bowl, but Instant was a bit sick and needed to eat more RINGS.
A bit of a heads up–this one is a bit longer than the most, clocking in at about two hours. Also, my sound quality sucks this time around for no good reason. Sorry about that! Hopefully you enjoy our extensive coverage of the things on the table right now when it comes to Sonic 4; we tried to cover as many elements of the game as possible, though an obvious classic bias would be expected from Sonic Retro. ;P
Sonic Retro Podcast #3.5 - Sonic 4 Super Bowl Special! [ 2:08:41 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadWe’re a bit late, but here it is, for your listening pleasure! Sonic Retro Retrocast No. 3! We’ve got a slew of things to talk about this time around, as we cover some exciting site news as well as the latest buzz around the community regarding Project Needlemouse.
We discuss the games of Sonicmases past, including Sonic Adventure and the game that might have taken it’s place. There’s even a special contest being held that you’ve just gotta get in on!
So pull up a chair and grab a snack, this week’s topics are as follows:
The Sonic Retro Wiki – The home stretch! We can do it!
Sonic Adventure – The hype, the production, the legend.
Sonic Xtreme – I hear you have a leak somewhere..
Project Needlemouse – Sonic and the Secret Codenames.
Sonic’s Chilidog Recipe – Sonic saves his friends to cook them in the end!
So it’s been a while…a long while…since we’ve posted a new podcast recording. However those who pay attention to the topic post feeds for the forum might’ve noticed a topic in the staff lounge about bringing the podcast back. Well it wasn’t just a bunch of bull shit guys! We decided to actually do it!
This week we decided to look are a pretty wide range of interests in the Sonic community. In fact we hit the ground running with the discussion of Rotor’s alleged sexuality and from there, get into a pretty deep discussion about the Sonic Archie universe. We even take a look into the mind and character of Dr. Robotnik AKA Eggman to find out he might not be quite so evil and instead just a jackass.
We also talk over TSSZ News and the man who runs it, Tristan. And we say things like (EDIT – Inflamatory – T). But after all the drama, we go ahead and discuss one of the more positive aspects of the community which is the hacks! In particular, we talk about Sonic Boom and how much we both love it hate its difficulty. After that, we give Sonic 2 LD a bit of a spotlight which is a pretty cool project by Doc Eggfan.
Be sure to stick around for the next episode (within the year) where we’ll talk about Sonic 2 HD and Tom Payne’s art scans from Sonic 2′s production. And who knows what else!
