    Time for a new episode, Super Sonic style! Stuart Gipp of Retronauts joins us for a discussion about Super forms! This golden godlike state has become a lasting part of the Sonic series' identity. So to celebrate that, we're taking a look at the many super forms featured in the series, from their obvious influence to their many adaptations, along with some other super-ish transformations seen over the years. But be careful, because this episode will only last for as long as you have rings to spare!

    The plot thickens! As a follow up to our big episode on the Chaotix Casefiles, we're stealing a quick peek at the Chaotix 30th Anniversary Special from IDW! Our favorite detectives take a look back at one of their earliest cases, as a malevolent masked miscreant menaces the Mythsonian Museum! Just who is the phantom thief Enigma? And is there perhaps an even deeper mystery behind the mystery? It’s a riveting story that begs to be told... whether Amy Rose wants it to be or not.

    We Don't Talk About Mushroomolini

    Once upon a time, there were four podcasters who desperately sought to recapture their youth. Since they had done so previously through reading old children's storybooks based on classic video games, they decided to do so again with some even older works of literature on this episode of The Book Is Always Goldener. They learned of plumbers and turtles and adventurers and pig wizards, many tales of which were recounted to them by voices from their youth, now seen in a whole new light. They savored every moment, eager to share these books with their many listeners. But wait! This is no book... THIS IS A BOMB! (0:00:00) Intro/Main topic: More Golden Books!
