Description

Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic. Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado. You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.

#182 - There Is No Joy In Going Fast - with Jim Trinca! (@jimtrinca.bsky.social)

2026/10/02

Welcome to another RPM, that's "Retro Podcast, Matey". Join us in the innocence of the pre-Sonic Adventure 2 era as Sega advocates piracy, Dave's school locks all the kids in a room, and everything sounds Australian when you say it like that.

#181 - A Woman, A Pound Coin, Hello - with Bobby Schroeder! (@ponett.dog)

2026/09/16

The two leading scholars of Sonic comics, together on one podcast at last! Also Chris is here! And what better occasion: we finally learn THE ORIGIN OF THE CHAOS EMERALDS! Plus Diary Dave gets all grotty and Northern, and we learn the moral of the podcast

#180 - Custom Houses That Look Like Your Head - with Guy Kelly (@brainmage.bsky.social)!

2026/08/23

Unts unts unts, we're back with our new suit and shoes and Graphire set, ready to find out what's going on with all these old Cockney Wombles. Plus: we solve a STUPID tomato mystery. Plus: a different podcast in the middle of this one!

#179 - Bash Your Nanna's Giggle Egg - with Gav Spence! (@gavtrdq.bsky.social)

2026/06/28

We'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

#178.6 - Heroes and Menaces

2026/05/29

Happy 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 for a comic like this.

#178.5 Knuckles the Anteater

2026/04/24

In 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

2026/04/10

Denton 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)

2026/03/27

We 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.

#176 - A Stick In Me Hand And A Drop In Me Eye - with Michael Corker! (prettygeekyzone.bsky.social)

2026/03/13

Everybody 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

2026/02/27

The 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

#174 - Tout à L'heure

2026/02/13

We 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

2026/01/30

Lew Stringer begins his final bow, and what 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

2026/01/16

New 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

2025/12/31

It'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.

#170 - Pavlov the Dog

2025/12/19

We'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
