Welcome to the Retroist Sonic the Hedgehog Podcast. Sega fans unite! On today’s show, I talk about the world-famous Sega mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. This blue blaze has been near and dear to my heart since I got my first Sega console many years ago. Sonic was not their first attempt at a mascot. So I start off talking about his predecessors. Then I move onto his creation, the games in which he has appeared and much much more.

Production Notes
This is the 55th episode of the Retroist Podcast and episode 16 of the new season.
I originally did more with the Sonic the Hedgehog the cartoon. I decided that I might do a show just on that, but now I regret that choice. I should have added more even if I planned on doing another show.
Music is waaaaaay too long. It is just so good. I will need to go back in and re-edit this episode someday.
I still have a soft spot for Sonic games and I find myself buying them on Steam, even thought I do not play them much.
Music on the show is, as always, by Peachy.
Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
