| 30 Years of Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Why This Saturn Gem Still Soars Today | The SEGA Spirit Show Ep22 | 07 May 2026 | 02:30:29 | |
Take flight with us as we dive deep into Panzer Dragoon II Zwei on the SEGA Saturn; the game that transformed the series from a stylish rail shooter into a fullāblown cult classic.
In this episode of The SEGA Spirit Show, Graham and Scotty Mo break down everything that makes Zwei special: - Branching routes - Dragon evolution - Adaptive difficulty - Hidden endāgame ranks (including some the Internet doesnāt even list!) - The music, the lore, the presentation, and why this game still hits in 2026
Whether youāre a Saturn dieāhard, a Panzer Dragoon fan, or just discovering the series, this is one of the most fascinating games SEGA ever produced ā and weāre giving it the love it deserves.

| When Pop Stars & SEGA Collide: Awesome 90s Marketing Madness At Its Finest! | SEGA Spirit Show Ep20 | 18 Mar 2026 | 01:52:44 | |
This episode of the SEGA Spirit Show, Graham and Scotty Mo dive into one of the most wonderfully 90s SEGA crossovers ever: the moment pop star, Cathy Dennis, became part of SEGA Power and Gamesmaster history.
We look back at the SEGA Power articles where Cathy talked about her love of SEGA gaming, her appearance on Gamesmaster, and the genuinely surreal free cassette tape the magazine gave away - featuring Cathy reading out gameplay tips for SEGA titles, mixed with a couple of her own tracks. Itās the kind of promo that could only have happened in the 90s, when magazines were still throwing every idea at the wall to see what stuck.
Join us as we dig through the coverage, the tape, the TV appearance, and the wider context behind this odd little moment where SEGA, pop music, and 90s marketing all collided. A proper time capsule - and a very SEGA one at that.
Plus we have our hot SEGA Community News, full of hot Dreamcast news! And Graham showcases 3 top Dreamcast games from the Dream Disc '25 competition.

| Announcement: The SEGA Spirit Show is taking a break for Christmas | 05 Dec 2025 | 00:01:34 | |
Hello dear viewers and listeners, The SEGA Spirit Show is taking a little break for December and Christmas.
This is partly due to both of us needing a little downtime - life is pretty busy with work, wives, families and doing the show. But also (mostly) due to the time difference - because Graham is away in Australia for the rest of the year.
We'd like to thank all of you for your support. And, if you haven't already, be sure to check out some of our earlier videos! | |||

Plus, as always, we have our hot SEGA community news! Including a sexy new Dreamcast controller with a... (wait for it) colour screen built in! A new 3D platformer for the Dreamcast! OutRun is now on the (shock) GameBoy Color, and there's a new horror game heading to the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis.
