    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!

    It's episode 101, so no big surprise what today's format is: Newbie Education 101 is back! We're joined on the podcast by Carriecore, a Sonic fan who's...never played a Sonic game?! We talk anime, movies, OCs, and more as we once again attempt to dissect what makes the little blue guy and his entourage so lovable. (Except Knuckles. We all know what his deal is.) (0:00:00) Intro/Carrie's history with Sonic (0:06:17) Are there any Sonic OCs you'd like to share? (0:20:48) What makes Sonic Adventure 2 such a beloved entry in the series?

    The Best Idea Since Underwear (ft. Sonic Paradox)

    Wow. Episode 100. What a genuinely impressive and momentous occasion, one that we certainly aren't taking lightly. So to celebrate this incredible milestone, we've decided to take things back to where they all began... No, not Sonic 1, we obviously did that already. No, we're taking things back to where WE all began. Before the podcast, before Sonic F, there were the Sonic Shorts collabs. A passion project helmed by animators on Newgrounds and YouTube, all of whom shared a love for that speedy little spike ball and a desire to share that love with the world (by making him run fast and crash into things). That's why we're looking back at the entire nearly 20 year history of Sonic Shorts with Sonic Paradox cofounders The Wax and Boozerman. We're not stopping there, though, not by a long shot. You'll also get to hear from many of the same artists and voices who have been part of the series, some dating back to the very first volume, to talk about their own history with SP and the shorts. It's a love letter to the project that brought us all together, one we couldn't be prouder to have been a part of, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the big one-double-zero. Thanks for joining us for the last 100 episodes. Here's to 100 more.

    Cat Radar (ft. Prismaeya)

    How dare you try to infiltrate our podcast in hopes you may steal our precious episodes? Prismaeya is back to join us on a deep dive about the red-dreaded one we all love (some more than others), Knuckles! While Rad Red has had a remarkably consistent characterization across his various portrayals (with some notable exceptions), his role itself has shifted dramatically over the years. From the original rival to roster filler, from hothead to meathead, from stoic loner to Christ allegory, this echidna has seen and done it all, but which ones feel the most true to the guy who's rougher than the rest of them? Let's discuss and find out! 0:00:00 Intro 0:06:16 Main topic: who is Knuckles? 0:10:39 Sonic's friendly nemesis 0:19:08 Is he actually that gullible? 0:28:00 Sidelined and dumbed down? 0:43:34 Connections to his people (and a long Archie diatribe) 0:59:50 Various cartoon portrayals 1:03:14 The voices 1:17:25 Let's talk about Sonic Boom 1:27:45 Knuckles' future 1:37:20 Love interests 1:45:38 Final thoughts 1:56:00 Outro Amie Waters on Linktree
