The serious tone of this episode was a little jarring, I paused a few minutes in and put my nice shirt on. You guys’ve sold me on Console Wars, though! I’ve always been fascinated about the development of Sonic 2. It’s great to be able to put a name and face to the SEGA side of the “SEGA made us change Miles’s name to Tails” story.
Yeah, this was a bit different than normal. I think we’re going to go back to our old style of conducting the interview, then recording a full Nerdcast show with the entire team and inserting the interview into the audio version of the podcast.
