00:49:40
Happy New Year! The first DreamPod of 2016 is here as Tom, Caleb, Gaz and Aaron reconvene to talk about the games they played and the gifts they received over the festive period. After the pleasantries have been dealt with, the team once again discuss Project Dream and the news that the initial publicity for the campaign was not handled by the main players involved. Tom then goes on to talk about the recently updated DreamConn wireless controller - DreamConn V3; and the embryonic Dreamcast Deluxe project gets a mention too. 2015 was a great year for the Dreamcast in terms of software releases and your hosts deliberate which of the myriad new games was their favourite over the last 12 months. As well as this, 2016 also looks set to be a great year for indie releases and the latter part of the episode deals with upcoming games and developments that every Dreamcast owner should be excited about.

Episode 24: DreamPi
00:56:09
Tom, Rob and Caleb are joined by creator of the DreamPi and Dreamcast Now! service, Luke Benstead. While the team are slightly sidetracked by the price of lesser-known PAL games, and Rob's recently acquired liquid cooled Dreamcast, the main meat of the episode is geared towards Luke's outstanding work getting the system back online without the need for a broadband adapter. With little more than a Raspberry Pi, Luke's bespoke DreamPi image and a dial-up modem, the Dreamcast can go back online and the Dreamcast Now! service lets you know which of your friends are also online. If you're a fan of online gaming, the Dreamcast, Linux and more turbo-geekery than you can shake a stick at, then episode 24 of DreamPod is for you!

Episode 26
01:04:27
Tom and Mike are joined by Ross, the newest member of the DCJY team. Ross hails from the UK but lives in Japan and so your hosts take the opportunity to discuss some slightly obscure corners of the Dreamcast library. CSK Holdings and their strange Dreamcast/health insurance console editions come up in conversation, as does Tom's obsession with ice hockey games. Mike reveals the additions to the updated Ultimate Collectors Guide, and Digitiser 2000's recent article on Sega's inability to recapture past glories is explored in more depth than is probably needed. Lines of chavs outside the local Job Centre, the levels of urban decay in Bristol and the sheer number of Sega arcade billboards cluttering the neon, rain-swept streets of Japan are all subjects tentatively touched upon. Oh, and there's some stuff about Vanishing Point and some Headhunter music. We hope you enjoy episode 26 of the world's greatest Dreamcast podcast.

Episode 27
00:32:47
Tom and Caleb convene once again to discuss some (mostly) Dreamcast-related topics. What's the best scrolling beat 'em up on the system? Who did the voice over work in Draconus Cult of the Wyrm? What is a Wyrm? These questions and more are tackled with fervent maniacal gusto, while elsewhere Caleb confesses to having never owned an Amiga or a Spectrum, and this leads on to the recent controversy surrounding the Coleco Chameleon and its alleged Nintendo-based innards. Tom waxes lyrical about PS Vita RPG Rainbow Moon and Caleb does a pretty good impression of George Takei. Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you enjoy this slightly shorter than usual episode of the world's best Dreamcast podcast called DreamPod!

Episode 101: Room 101
01:40:17
For episode 101, we're doing room 101! Ripping off the formula of the classic British game show (which ripped its concept from Geroge Orwell), James, Tom, Brian, Lewis and newcomer Rich (welcome Rich!) each must convince host Andrew to consign one of their biggest pet hates about the Dreamcast to oblivion in Room 101, theoretically banishing them from the world forever. But Andrew has the final say, so if he doesn't agree then it's not going in room 101!

Episode 112: Former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas
01:02:20
In this episode of the DreamPod, regular hosts Tom and Andrew are joined by former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas. During his time at SEGA Europe, Giles oversaw the European launch of the Dreamcast after effectively being headhunted by SEGA from his role at MTV.
In this episode Giles explains how he was pursuaded to join SEGA, his vision for the European TV advertising campaigns, meeting the SEGA Japan hierarchy, being grilled by Anne 'Weakest Link' Robinson on the BBC's consumer affairs show Watchdog, the European Dreamcast launch event, the influence of Sony's PlayStation, Robbie Williams, blue swirls, PAL game cases, how the delay of the European launch affected sales of the console, SEGA Europe's relationship with the US and Japanese arms of the business, and also what - if anything - he would have done differently if given the chance to launch the Dreamcast all over again.
Huge thanks to Giles for joining us to chat about all things Dreamcast. Giles now runs the branding consultancy MIMO Brands, who work with many of the most well-known companies around, so we really appreciate the time he took out to speak with us.

This episode was as inevitable as a blue Dreamcast case with its hinges broken off. Of course the Junkyard was going to record an episode to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the SEGA Dreamcast's October 14th 1999 launch in PAL regions! Blue swirl for life, mate.
In fact, celebrating this occasion was so important that we even managed to convince Junkyard founder Tom Charnock to emerge from his coffin and host the damn thing. Listen in as Tom, James, Andrew and Lewis share their memories of the Dreamcast, and provide a retrospective on the highs and lows (looking at you, Australian launch!) of the Dreamcast's venture into Europe and other PAL regions. There's also one of James' 10-questions quizzes to wrap up the episode... but will Tom, Andrew and Lewis fare better at the quiz than OziSoft did at launching the Dreamcast Down Under?

Caleb waxes lyrical about the latest release of ScummVM and the trials and tribulations of creating his own adventure games, Mike claims Gloucestershire is posher than Somerset, the team talk a little bit about the recent RetroCollect Video Game Market, and there’s an impromptu appearance from everybody’s favourite ex-Governor and conspiracy theorist Jesse Ventura.

Regular DreamPod hosts Tom and Mike sit down once again to discuss the latest news bursting forth from the Dreamcast community. Ross was also meant to be involved, but a slight technical glitch called ‘British Summer Time’ put paid to that (sorry Ross). Regardless, the intrepid duo plough on to bring you the lowdown on the recent charity event the Junkyard was involved with, and Mike explains why F1 World Grand Prix 2 still holds up in this age of HD graphics and up-to-date F1 rosters. The DreamPod has a world exclusive podcast performance of the recent Flappy Bird VMU port, and the Stone Age Gamer/USB-GDROM fiasco is discussed. Later, your hosts take a look at two newly announced Dreamcast indie games and then try to amicably decide whether Dead or Alive 2 is better looking than Soul Calibur. DreamPod 29 is running on a skeleton crew but the content is anything but threadbare. If you have even a passing interest in the latest news from the Dreamcast community…you should probably go and look at either the DC-Talk or DC Emulation forums. Otherwise, hit that download button!

Episode 30 of DreamPod has landed, and it’s a NAOMI special! With Tom off on holiday (well, unpacking after his move), the Junkyard’s men in Japan and Australia - Ross and Scott respectively - take over the podcast and discuss the games they’ve been playing in the recent past, and there’s a special guest appearance from Ross’s squeaky chair. Ross moans about the state of gaming on the current gen systems and Scott briefly discusses Leona’s Tricky Adventures, but the main meat of episode 30 is all about Sega’s famous arcade system NAOMI. The guys reveal how they got involved with collecting for the system, the intricacies of the hardware, the games they love and the more obscure side of collecting arcade titles.

Episode 31: Shmup Pod
01:21:09
DreamPod 31: Where bullet heaven quickly becomes bullet hell! Yes, episode 31 is here and your regular hosts Tom, Ross, Mike, Caleb and Aaron are joined by a special guest host in the form of DreamcastHub.com’s Stephen Robinson to discuss a genre that is synonymous with the Dreamcast: shmups. Perhaps the most divisive of all the genres represented by the Dreamcast’s rich and varied library, your hosts take it upon themselves to discuss the very best, very worst and the most obscure games that make up the console’s glittering selection. Ross tries and fails to have a non-Dreamcast game included in the discussion, Aaron reveals some interesting Mars Matrix/Sonic Heroes trivia, Stephen waxes lyrical about The Lost Golem, Tom talks about the Atari Jaguar (again), Mike offends the entire PlayStation community by slagging off the Dual Shock 4, and Caleb treats us to his very best voiceover work. DreamPod episode 31 is here, and we’re ready to take you to a whole new dimension of podcasting awesomeness!

Episode 32
00:41:00
DreamPod 32 is here and Tom, Rob and Mike are here to guide you like leviathans of truth and justice through the latest breaking news developments from the world of Dreamcast! Rob’s been buying new Saturn games since his last appearance on the show and Mike reveals his unbridled love for all things Uncharted. Tom discusses how Super Magnetic Neo is actually incredibly cerebral despite the childish aesthetic, and the shenanigans at the recent Southampton Game Fest. Other topics covered include the Xenocider Kickstarter, ex-Manchester City striker Shaun Goater, West Country cider, the new unnamed FPS update from PH3NOM, Alice Dreams Tournament slipping to later in the year, and the recent Eurogamer article from former DC-UK editor Keith Stuart. DreamPod 32 is slightly shorter than some recent episodes, but it’s every bit as informative and filled with passion for Sega’s final console. Sit back, crack open an ice cold beer...and enjoy!

Regular hosts Tom and Ross are joined by Falco Girgis and Patryk Kowalik, the lead developer and lead artist from indie game developer Elysian Shadows Team. In this episode, no topics are left untouched as your hosts and guests discuss the development of one of the Dreamcast’s most hotly anticipated games - the Kickstarter-funded RPG Elysian Shadows. The pressures of running a Kickstarter, the former team members, those photos with Zoe Quinn, hair transplants, fungal infections, the internet hate campaigns and the real life stresses of running an indie development studio are all discussed with Falco and Patryk. More importantly, the groundbreaking nature of the Elysian Shadows Tool Kit (ESTK) and the power it will deliver to other indie developers; the brand new ElysianVMU visual memory emulator, and of course the game itself, are all explored in depth. Anything you ever wanted to know about the beginnings of Elysian Shadows - and indeed what the future holds - is discussed in episode 33 of DreamPod. You simply cannot afford to miss this one!

DreamPod 44 is a bit of a departure from the norm, as we were invited to take part in RadioSEGA’s WinterFest 2016 - a celebration of all things Sega, hosted by a multitude of different fan sites and communities. The Dreamcast Junkyard kicked off the three day event on the 16th December 2016 with a special DreamPod where hosts Tom and Mike shared some of their favourite Sega-based music tracks, not all of them Dreamcast-based. There’s plenty of usual chat about irrelevant nonsense too, including Amstrad vs Spectrum, buying vinyl LPs if you don’t have a record player, and how you’re meant to pronounce Richard Jacques’s name. This is DreamPod 44, we hope you enjoy it!
