It takes two to tango, but it takes 12 for an all out brawl! The gang looks back at Treasure Team Tango, the Sonic Universe arc that gave Blaze and Cream their first real spotlights in the original Archie continuity! When the princess of the Sol Dimension comes looking for a missing emerald, she's going to have to team up with a couple of female freedom fighters to find it, especially when three other teams all have their eyes on the same prize. It's the ultimate game of keep away in this madcap adventure, and we're here to dig back into it page by page!

Tiny Gnome Man Shenanigans (ft. Chris McFeely)
Hey, boomers! It's time to take a look back at the Sega-sational world of the UK in the 1990s! Special guest Chris McFeely of Sonic the Comic the Podcast joins us for a recap of Sonic the Hedgehog Beats the Badniks, a compilation of STC's first four Sonic strips. From the spikeball's speedy start to a clash with a cyborg chum, and from saving Sally's sibling to an encounter with an inorganic imposter, we look back at the comic's earliest days to see how they set the stage for the stories to come.

We Want These Two Animals to Kiss
Grab your sports tape and pump up those muscles, because it's time for our first real deep dive on the Sonic Boom cartoon! This episode, we're looking back at "Robots from the Sky", the four part epic from the show's second season. Sonic and crew get an unexpected visit from some mechanical heroes, starting a chain of events that will take them all the way to a floating utopia under siege! It's a high stakes battle with robots on all sides and our heroes caught in the crossfire, so you’ll definitely want to tune in... Or, you know, we can just hypnotize you into listening; that works too.

Did They Make Fun of Your Tummy Laser Again?
Welcome to the next level in 32X World! The gang is taking a little detour to Sega's ill-fated add-on and reaching into the Combi-Catcher to pull out the bizarre little side story that is Knuckles' Chaotix. With its unique ring band gameplay system, it is genuinely unlike any other Sonic game...but is that necessarily a good thing? Join us in the Newtrogic High Zone to find out! Don't worry, the bee should carry you most of the way.

I Don't Remember His Backstory, But I Remember It Was Stupid
It's our third birthday! So to celebrate it, we're going to be facilitating a different sort of birthday. That's right, for the first time ever, the gang is going to create their own fan character! What kind of animal are they? What's their personality like? Do they have any special powers? Are they a snappy dresser? If they see a guy getting beaten up by an Egg Pawn in a bodega, will they actually do something about it? All these questions and more will be determined as we work together to give life to the newest (unofficial) face of the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise!

Other artists' takes on the finished character (Part 1/Part 2)
A show where four friends have chill discussions about Sonic the Hedgehog to distract themselves from the inevitable passage of time and their own rapidly waning ability to relate to the youth.
