| 4/19/25 |  Ten Years of the Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod | A decade of DreamPod? Who would've thought? Well, apparently not us, because we completely missed the fact that April the 11th marked ten years since the introductory episode of this very podcast —episode 0— first went live! Thankfully, a kind listener on Twitter gave us a much-needed reminder of this major milestone. To celebrate, Dreamcast Junkyard and DreamPod founder Tom Charnock joins Lewis for a special retrospective episode. They dive into the podcast’s humble beginnings, and reminisce... | 1h 02m 17s | ||||||
| 4/11/25 | Episode 140: The Best-Selling Dreamcast Games | We’ve all seen those lists floating around the internet that count down the greatest Dreamcast games (we’ve even got a few of our own!), but what were the titles that truly captured the attention of Dreamcast owners back in the day? Andrew, Tom, Kev, and Lewis dive into three sets of sales charts —from the UK, North America, and Japan— to find out which Dreamcast games consumers were spending their hard-earned cash on at the turn of the millennium. Also listen past the outro music to enjoy a ... | 1h 29m 45s | ||||||
| 3/17/25 | Episode 139: Dream Disc '24 Game Jam - The Results! | Lewis and Lozz are joined by Ross Kilgariff and Cypress, the organisers of the Dream Disc '24 Dreamcast game jam that took place at the tail end of last year.

Regulars Brian, Harvey and Lewis are joined by friend of the Junkyard Dominic (Dreamcast Enjoyer on YouTube), to talk all about this misunderstood (and absolutely nuts) Dreamcast launch title that features crazy weapons found in vending machines, an acid trip of a Christmas department store, and Dogs Bower. As a gift to our incredible listeners, keep an ear out for a very special appearance by the voice of Eliot ... | 2h 19m 12s | ||||||

| 10/28/24 | Episode 135: Dreamy or Screamy? (Halloween Special) | It's Halloween once again, and the DreamPod is coming out in full force with some terrifying takes as they resurrect a beloved format - this is Heaven and Hell, Part 3, complete with a brand new spooky subtitle of "Dreamy or Screamy?" If you haven't heard the first and second Heaven and Hell episodes from 2020, it's a format where our panel each pick a game they consider their idea of Dreamcast heaven, and one they would rather throw into the fiery pits of hell than spend another second play... | 1h 42m 11s | ||||||
| 10/13/24 | Episode 134: 25 Years of the Blue Swirl (a European/PAL Dreamcast Launch Retrospective) | 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... | 1h 40m 08s | ||||||

| 8/29/24 | Episode 132: Grand Theft Autumn (Fall Dreamcast News Round-Up) | As summer turns to fall, Dreamcast still remains the fairest console of them all. Not sure why we started this description with some weird fairy tale incantation, but magic is definitely in the air for our favourite SEGA console, and we have a lot of Dreamcast news to catch you up on! From new indies, to translations, to an abundance of homebrew ports - including the incredibly exciting news of a Grand Theft Auto 3 port - listen in as we get down to the nitty-gritty in as much nerdy detail as... | 1h 16m 32s | ||||||
| 6/26/24 | Episode 131: Phantasy Star Online Special | You are now dialled in to a brand new DreamPod special on the Dreamcast's ultimate multiplayer killer app: Phantasy Star Online, or - in Lozz's words - "the greatest f***ing game in the world. Period." Back in 2001, PSO broke new ground by bringing an online RPG experience to console, but did you know that you can still play PSO online on your Dreamcast in 2024?

SHIRO! originally started in 2017 as a podcast dedicated to the Saturn, but has since grown into a website, YouTube channel and community dedicated to spreading the love of Sega's misunderstood 32-bit wonder, and later the Dreamcast. In this episode, we go into de... | 2h 13m 36s | ||||||
| 2/25/24 | Episode 128: The Top 25 Dreamcast Indie Games | At the beginning of the year, we put the call out to the community to vote for their favourite indie releases for the Sega Dreamcast, and, as always, you have all responded in a big way, with more than double the amount of participants than the last time we did this vote way back in 2016.
