This weekend, Retroauts, you may think this is a serious conversation, but I'm just Alex kidding. Oh, Everyone, welcome to everyone. Welcome to Retronauts, the only podcast about old video games that

dedicates its 630th episode to Sega mascots. That's right, this is episode 630 of

retronauts and I'm your host Jeremy Parish and you may think that I might be a

body double, a doppelganger, a body snatcher because I actually know the number but for once I actually looked up the

episode number before starting. That's how prepared I am for this podcast. Amazing stuff.

And with me here to be equally on top of things on the ball and surely offer some

insightful discussions on one of the hottest topics in our present day society. We have, let's start with the

Retronauts Regular from the UK.

Oh, hey, that's me. Hello, I'm Stuart Jeff. I'm very excited to talk about all the various

masters to mascots like Professor Asapian and Danan Jungle Fighter and Sonic

the Hedgehog. Yes definitely Sonic the Hedgehog. When one thinks

Sonic the Hedgehog one definitely thinks

Sega Master System. Also joining us from the Hardcore Gaming 101

podcast and various other projects we have...

Kurt Kalata. Hello. Hello Kurt Kalada. Hello Kurt Kalada. And finally a newcomer to Retronauts but someone

who is extremely well-versed in the ways of Master System and Sega 8bit Tech in general.

I've learned so much from her blog.

Please introduce yourself Special Guest Star.

Oh, I didn't realize I was special. Absolutely.

I am Nicole of Nicole Express.

I'm really bad with recording myself because this is the first time I've been on a podcast actually.

Oh, well, thank you for making your debut here with this pressing topic, this extremely important discussion that we're having.
