Games as a Podcast
We are two SEGA alums who love talking about the past, present and future of games and the industry that makes them. Each week we explore a gaming topic, often mixing in our perspectives from our time at Big Blue and beyond. Some weeks we’ll have a guest, usually someone whose career has crossed ours, and talk about their own experiences and perspectives.

From Codemasters to Crazy Taxi
From Sonic Dash to Crazy Taxi to a near-mythical PS3 Bayonetta rescue mission, Chris Southall’s journey through the games industry is a masterclass in adaptation, precision, and passion. In this episode, we talk about founding Sega’s elite dev rescue team, building Hardlight Studio, wrangling with IP stakeholders (including Sonic Team and a certain Hulk Hogan cameo), and the evolution from boxed product to live service games. Join us for a conversation full of war stories, wisdom, and some unforgettable dev trivia, including why "Stinky Chris" is immortalized in chalk.
