S3E22 - Sonic & Knuckles (08 November 2023)

Suddenly, the finale of Individual crept up on us! And it's technically a two-parter, with the American-focused Sonic the Hedgehog being made complete by locking on Sonic & Knuckles: a dive into pretty much every developer of the game. There are designers like Hirokazu Yasuhara and Takashi Iizuka, there are programmers like Yuji Naka and Masanobu Yamatomo, and there are artists like Kunitake Aoki, Takashi Thomas Yuuda and Satoshi Yokokawa. Beyond that, all 8 contributors from the SEGA SOUND TEAM are covered, more on the surface level and their Sonic 3&K contributions, and there's 2 more obscure sound teams once get past Knuckles: CUBE, who made some possibly unused music, and USP, who made the MIDI arrangements in Sonic & Knuckles Collection.

S3E21 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (27 October 2023)

A special request from listener Jamie caps off Americans month. We're talking about one little game, but it was written like 1 really big game, but RadioSEGA imitates SEGA, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles has been split into the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 episode and the Sonic & Knuckles episode. This first episode covers every American musician involved with the game, from the figurehead Michael Jackson, to the real chief Brad Buxer, to the assorted composers Bobby Brooks, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby III, Cirocco, and even Mayumi Nina Sakazaki. Yes, we'll be talking about the many times it was confirmed Michael composed music, how the Sonic 3 songs were influenced by earlier works or influenced later works, the Sonic Retro community's sleuthing on the subjects, and more. There's music to be heard from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but for the most part, the music offers a glimpse into the musicians 90's pop and R&B music, ripped off the world of YouTube.
