#179 - Bash Your Nanna's Giggle Egg - with Gav Spence! (@gavtrdq.bsky.social) 28.06.2026 3hWe're rageing in ange this episode as we bring you a lovely pub quiz via the Kids Choice 2000 Awards, plus more Chewits than you could chew a stick of Chewits at, including some WORLD EXCLUSIVE stupid info nobody has ever sleuthed out before because it doesn't matter. oh also Tikal and the ancient Echidnas It's a long one, but it's a really funny one.

#178.6 - Heroes and Menaces 29.05.2026 1hHappy birthday Boomers! It's the anniversary of the release of STC, so here's its first mention, and elaborate contextual build-up, from the current draft of the Big Book of Bulmer Bollocks, in which we examine why the UK was ready to embrace a comic like this, and why it was just what young Dave in particular needed. Expect to hear more pondering why the UK was ready to embrace this comic about this character than actual talk about the comic itself, but I promise I've made it quite interesting.

#178.5 Knuckles the Anteater 24.04.2026 1h 12minIn which Knuckles is pink, young Dave dawdles towards destiny, Timothy gets his own parade, and inspiration hits.
-
#178 - The That of This - with @abbydenton.com 10.04.2026 2h 7minDenton is here for the episode where Knuckles decides he has nothing left to live for and Amy knocks him out with a crowbar. I'm not even going to bother typing any more description. It's a silly one.
-
#177 - A WcDonalds of Judge Dredd - with Pete Murphy (@alkalineazel.bsky.social) 27.03.2026 1h 55minWe see Sonic's bedroom for the first (and last) time! Are space more blokes than pirates? Are After Eights mints? Plus one of the funnier Diary Zones we've had. If you're wondering while listening to the diary entry about the party, the sentence you can't make out is "I said to a man I don’t know about how it’s scary to be with drunk men in a pub if they're playing darts" and the girl whose name I've bleeped out hasn't ever been mentioned before, so no point guessing who she is lol Explicit content ticked because of the girl whose name I've bleeped out.

#176 - A Stick In Me Hand And A Drop In Me Eye - with Michael Corker! (prettygeekyzone.bsky.social) 13.03.2026 2h 22minEverybody stop being silly, it's a very serious episode of STC. WHO is an armless, boneless, chickenless BIG EGG? And who is our guest this fortnight (it's the bloke who led the fan continuation of STC after it died!) Plus some other daft stuff.
-
#175 - We Don't Know What Black Beauty Is - with @faulerro.bsky.social 27.02.2026 2h 3minThe first part of STC's epic finale begins this episode, so we're feeling all beginning-of-the-end-ey. So a string of guests begins this fortnight, starting with the creator of the POUND COIN animation. Any editing errors are because my computer explode Album art this fortnight was provided by Ashy, because computer explode. She somehow did this even though house explode!
-
#174 - Tout à L'heure 13.02.2026 2h 16minWe wave fond goodbye to Lew Stringer this episode. Then we get all silly in the back half. You don't want your back half to get too silly but sometimes it just goes off on its own.
-
#173 - Bamboozled by a More Prominent Eustace 30.01.2026 1h 24minLew Stringer begins his final bow, and what a bow it is! He's done a big sweep with his arm, he's gone so far over that his head's practically touching the floor, you could put a little hat on it and when he stands up again it would fall down his back, that's how big a bow it is. Plus! Dave finally liberates a Squirtle, we all replace our Fresh Prince Fact File collection with the Fresh Prince wiki, Sonic's worst game comes out, and Diggle DELIVERS!
-
#172 - Tears of Orange 16.01.2026 1h 55minNew Millennium, new world... new STC? The drama is back and we're in a good mood. There's a sincere chance that STCTP's whinge-phase might be over. That's all I can be bothered to write!
-
#171 - It's an Ip-Dip 31.12.2025 1h 58minIt's the end of days and the start of days. From now on, this is not a 90s podcast, and it is not the 90s. Join Teen-Dave at the Big Y2K Bash, and adult Dave and Chris at the old men sitting around reading children's comics ward. Plus! Sonic fights a snowman but it's one of the coolest episodes in ages, Dave reveals what the manliest thing he's ever done was, and Chris gets a couple of real Sonic jokes in
-
#170 - Pavlov the Dog 19.12.2025 1h 43minWe're happy just to be proved wrong this episode as we uncover a forgotten blunder. STC Boomers watch a late cut of an early version of Sonic the Movie, and we sing along with an underrated citv banger
-
#169 - ...And Roblox 06.12.2025 1h 50minGood news for lovers of Meccano because that's what there's a surfeit of. We do a Hume Error, Set's got a wonky barcode, and Diary Dave unearths the very first wiki and plumps up his Pink.
-
#168 - Elephant's Got a PEN 22.11.2025 1h 24minIt's a clippety-clop podcast, in which Robinson's fruit drinks give away a toy of a dismembered part of a Disney hero's parent with tokens collected from special packs. That's all you're getting, it was a big convention last weekend so this episode's already quite late. Just listen to it if you're curious. Pretend it's a big mystery. Pretend it's a big secret what's in this episode and you're uncovering the secret if you listen to it. Then you can tell people and spoil it for them. oh! That's something we talk about actually, spoilers. We talk about the Sixth Sense. And we DO NOT spoil it. We don't! That's actually true! Al right, on you go. I can't remember why I ticked "adult content" this episode, let's call that another mystery. We don't do any swears but I think someone talks about something that is fundamentally rude. Or that might have been last fortnight. Well you're spoiled for spoilers this time aren't you.
-
#167 - I've Got a Chewit In My Mouth 07.11.2025 1h 54minThis is a chewy and slobbery episode, but if you can get through that, it's quite a funny one. It's the beginning of a new era, and we get excited about batteries. I have mercifully cut an hour and a half of JUST reading wikipedia, we're getting worse...
-
#166 - Groundbreaking Turkey Technology 24.10.2025 2h 11minWe're spluttering and gibbering this issue because this one probably shouldn't have happened. Chris sets about wringing some hate out of Dave, but Dave's attention is elsewhere. Also, can you still get a pterodactyl? We wild-westigate the graphic zone and revive an old dead Zone we haven't visited in ages. Patsy Palmer goes fishing, and we meet some chocolate northerners.
-
#165 - Non-Copyright-Infringing Blue Fast Rat 10.10.2025 1h 45minIt's Shanazar's swan song - or perhaps that should be Frog Song. Dave's frustrated about one game's release while everyone else is excited about another, we learn how not to use a whoopee cushion, use a four-letter word for Timmy and make some Mark Morrison noises
-
#164 - Grinking and Shrowing 26.09.2025 1h 39minIn this episode, we have gone a bit bonk-nanas. We'll contemplate middle-aged pickles and the best way to have diarrhoea, and learn what the people of the Bronx did before anyone else, and there's teenage Sonicey beef in the Diary Zone
-
#163 - A Multiplicity of Mambos 12.09.2025 1h 36minSonic meets one of those Medusas and as usual we slam into something we were not looking forward to and actually it makes a bit more sense than we thought. Oodie-boodie!And actually, while we're here, I just want to add that when I say in the episode that I thought they were saying oodie-boodie, I was mostly basing that on the impression of it done by the boys (and yes, it was the East 17 boys) in my class, and so for all I know those boys may in fact have been saying oodie-boodie, having no more knowledge than I did about such things. They also knew a few more words and you're going to hear why this episode. Even though I've bleeped them, even the bleeps are too rude so I've marked this episode Explicit. Also we say bollocks! :O
-
#162 - Sonic Fans: Not Even Once 29.08.2025 1h 37minTeen drama this fortnight as the early Sonic fandom are stupid enough that the grownups have to step in. Plus: A new enemy for Action Man, Mark has the last Word, and we choose our own adventure (and it's blithering on)
