    The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod - Episode 112: Former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas

    The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod - Episode 112: Former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas

    In this episode of the DreamPod, regular hosts Tom and Andrew are joined by former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas. During his time at SEGA Europe, Giles oversaw the European launch of the Dreamcast after effectively being headhunted by SEGA from his role at MTV. 
    In this episode Giles explains how he was pursuaded to join SEGA, his vision for the European TV advertising campaigns, meeting the SEGA Japan hierarchy, being grilled by Anne 'Weakest Link' Robinson on the BBC's consumer affairs show Watchdog, the European Dreamcast launch event, the influence of Sony's PlayStation, Robbie Williams, blue swirls, PAL game cases, how the delay of the European launch affected sales of the console, SEGA Europe's relationship with the US and Japanese arms of the business, and also what - if anything - he would have done differently if given the chance to launch the Dreamcast all over again.

    Huge thanks to Giles for joining us to chat about all things Dreamcast. Giles now runs the branding consultancy MIMO Brands, who work with many of the most well-known companies around, so we really appreciate the time he took out to speak with us.

    The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod - Episode 109: Dreamcast in 2002 (and a Farewell to Dreamcast Years)

    The long awaited fourth and final instalment of our crossover with Dreamcast Years is here. Join Andrew, Rich, Jason, Tom and Lewis as they return to 2002 to talk the best of Dreamcast in 2002 (including the last official DC games to be released in Europe), as well as movies, music and news from the year.

    Sadly, this crossover episode also serves as a farewell to the Dreamcast Years podcast, as their FINAL episode will only be released on physical media. A limited edition MiniDisc was created for Kickstarter backers of Andrew Dickinson's Dreamcast: Year Two book, along with a CD version.

Great Podcast

Enjoying bingeing these podcasts from the start as I’m currently playing through some Dreamcast games

Lincolnwho ,

Such such a great podcast

If you’ve ever Dreamcast if you’ve even considered the idea this is the show for you.

KaniEkzo ,

Genuinely great podcast

It would be easy to point to my bias seeing as I’m a dreamcast fanatic, but this is genuinely a great podcast that never drags or feels awkward. Perfect for Dreamcast fans and highly recommended for gaming fans.
