| 5/30/26 |  Final Fantasy X | Final Fantasy X is beloved by many fans of the franchise for a reason. It's full of memorable characters, gorgeous locations, one of the best battle systems in the series, and while it doesn't shy away from going to some very dark places, underneath it all is a story about friendship, love, loss, and acceptance. It's also a game that's responsible for making an entire generation sob as the credits rolled. Join us to find out why we think that Final Fantasy X deserves to be remembered AND played! My special guest co-host for this episode is none other than my loving partner, Twitch Streamer GamerGorlGabs! This is her favorite game of all-time, and I can't wait for you all to hear her stories and recollections from her childhood. So come and sit yourself down by the beach. The sun is setting in Zanarkand, but the fire is warm. Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, Auron, Rikku, and Kimahri are waiting for you to join them for an adventure that you'll never forget...

| 3/27/26 |  Arcade Memories | Video Game Arcades might still exist, but for many gamers, the era of their dominance is a thing of the past. If you ever went to Arcades in the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s, you know what it felt like to be a part of that era. When a pocket full of tokens meant you were about to experience the latest and greatest in video games. Join special guest Evan Sabba, the voice of Brad Vickers from Resident Evil 3 and host Patrick Brickhouse as they talk about what all of that felt like and why it's truly something to remember, as it will never be replicated.

| 2/5/26 |  Tony Hawk's Pro Skater | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a game series that needs no introduction. It's one of the most popular and successful video game franchises of all-time. But, as is tradition here on The Retro Blast Podcast, we like to go back to where it all started with the game that blindsided gamers everywhere. Join me and my guest co-host, Darren Hupke of 'Pixels and Polygons', and Author of the '32 Bit Library' book series (and more!), as we take you back to 1999 to talk all about why this game meant so much to us.

| 12/23/25 |  Sonic the Hedgehog | The Blue Blur himself has FINALLY made it onto The Retro Blast Podcast and it's long overdue! SEGA found itself in a stranglehold in the early 90s as Nintendo dominated the video game market in the United States... And they were almost out of options. Until a little blue hedgehog with super speed AND a super 90s attitude hit the scene and changed the video game landscape forever. The Gamersician himself is back to join Host Patrick Brickhouse for a nostalgic conversation about what it was like to be a kid in the 90s when Sonic hit the scene, what we love about the game to this day, and OF COURSE, the music—With a very special section in the later half of the episode where we discuss comments from Patrons about their favorite OG Sonic songs and memories!

| 10/21/25 |  FuncoLand | It's 2002. I'm 17 years old... I just landed a job at FuncoLand at the height of the 6th console gen. In this 'Memories' episode, I'm going to take you with me as I revisit what it was like to be a video game store employee during better days. You'll learn about what working there was like, but also the experiences and memories I carry with me to this day, and even some Patron submitted stories! This is one of the biggest projects I've ever produced, and I hope some of it resonates with your life a little bit too.

| 8/16/25 |  Superman 64 | It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's... ...a bad video game. But why is it so bad? And why did we play this when this show is all about GOOD memories? You'll have to listen to find out. Special Guest Host: RetroGameBrews from Gamers Week Podcast Follow Retro Blast on Bluesky! Support on Patreon and get involved with the show! | — | ||||||
| 7/7/25 |  SSX Tricky | SSX Tricky is still just as good today as it was in 2001. It's still one of the best snowboarding games ever, and it's also a reminder of what gaming used to be at its best... And reminded us of when EA was actually kind of... good? RIP EA Sports BIG!

| 5/11/25 |  Super Mario World | Super Mario World wasn't just the pack-in game for the SNES when it released, it was an important statement from Nintendo that they were ready to take on anything and everything by bringing Mario back for a brand new adventure.

| 3/15/25 |  Jet Set Radio | Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in the US) was a defining game for the SEGA Dreamcast. It was a game about rollerblaind, graffiti tagging, and jamming out to funky beats! But... what else made it so special? Special Guest Host: Voice Actor David Giltinan Follow us on our new Social Media home at Bluesky!

| 1/20/25 |  Onimusha Warlords | Onimusha Warlords was a very early PS2 title that many refer to as just 'Resident Evil, but Samurai and Demons'. However, CAPCOM's Demon Slaying Feudal Japan era epic series is so much more than that, and this game was the start of something truly special..

| 3/28/24 |  Retro Blast Memories: A Kid and his N64 | After way too long, it's finally time for another Retro Blast Memories episode. This one was difficult for me to write.
