A weekly dive into the seriously silly world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Indie game developer Nick Splendorr and author Caleb Zane Huett study everyone's favorite blue guy to learn about games, stories, and maybe even ourselves. There's also a lot of goofing.

This is a big one, y’all! Your Two Hosts go full-on National Treasure to find hidden words, double agents, and the secret themes hidden within Mount Rushmore’s iconic Kirby sculpture. Metaknight is maybe Nic Cage? Caleb is the map. We debut a NEW SEGMENT and get real about Sonic and Kirby’s origins and game design styles, and the effect these have had on their public perception. And we explore Kirby’s approach to anxiety! Breathe deep and buckle up!
