    Announcement: The SEGA Spirit Show is taking a break for Christmas

    Hello dear viewers and listeners, The SEGA Spirit Show is taking a little break for December and Christmas. This is partly due to both of us needing a little downtime - life is pretty busy with work, wives, families and doing the show. But also (mostly) due to the time difference - because Graham is away in Australia for the rest of the year. We'd like to thank all of you for your support. And, if you haven't already, be sure to check out some of our earlier videos!
