Sonic The Comic The Podcast
Dave Bulmer and Chris McFeely
Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic. Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado. You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.
#182 - There Is No Joy In Going Fast - with Jim Trinca! (@jimtrinca.bsky.social)
Welcome to another RPM, that's "Retro Podcast, Matey". Join us in the innocence of the pre-Sonic Adventure 2 era as Sega advocates piracy, Dave's school locks all the kids in a room, and everything sounds Australian when you say it like that.

#178.6 - Heroes and Menaces
Happy birthday Boomers! It's the anniversary of the release of STC, so here's its first mention, and elaborate contextual build-up, from the current draft of the Big Book of Bulmer Bollocks, in which we examine why the UK was ready to embrace a comic like this, and why it was just what young Dave in particular needed. Expect to hear more pondering why the UK was ready to embrace this comic about this character than actual talk about the comic itself, but I promise I've made it quite interesting.

#178 - The That of This - with @abbydenton.com
Denton is here for the episode where Knuckles decides he has nothing left to live for and Amy knocks him out with a crowbar. I'm not even going to bother typing any more description. It's a silly one.

#177 - A WcDonalds of Judge Dredd - with Pete Murphy (@alkalineazel.bsky.social)
We see Sonic's bedroom for the first (and last) time! Are space more blokes than pirates? Are After Eights mints? Plus one of the funnier Diary Zones we've had. If you're wondering while listening to the diary entry about the party, the sentence you can't make out is "I said to a man I don’t know about how it’s scary to be with drunk men in a pub if they're playing darts" and the girl whose name I've bleeped out hasn't ever been mentioned before, so no point guessing who she is lol Explicit content ticked because of the girl whose name I've bleeped out.

#175 - We Don't Know What Black Beauty Is - with @faulerro.bsky.social
The first part of STC's epic finale begins this episode, so we're feeling all beginning-of-the-end-ey. So a string of guests begins this fortnight, starting with the creator of the POUND COIN animation. Any editing errors are because my computer explode Album art this fortnight was provided by Ashy, because computer explode. She somehow did this even though house explode!
