We're getting close that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 team episode. As a prologue, we'll cover a Sonic & Knuckles-only composer who also worked on all SEGA Technical Institute's works: Howard Drossin!
This post is all about the next episode of Individual, with game examples, request advice, sources to learn about more eligible works, and a couple times the show will be going LiVE.
Finally, it's a SEGA of America sound staffer during Americans Month! Howard Drossin will be bringing up some Sonic vibes before the dedicated Sonci the Hedgehog 3 episode, and while we definitely won't be hearing about as many canceled games as on Andy Armer's episode, there'll still be a couple like Astropede and Sonic X-treme. But the focus of the talks and music will be Sonic Spinball, The Ooze, Comix Zone and more!
You can send in your requests, I've got enough space for about 6 of them (arbitrary number). Feel free to request any song from a project Howard has worked on or any remix of a song composed by him. You can send me your requests via Discord (I'll be listed in RadioSEGA's Discord) or X (this is me). I might be recording the episode on Tuesday, so please send in your requests before then even if I go LiVE (I still like to edit together some sick transitions and can't really do that in the moment)!

If you're wondering when this show airs, it's on Wednesdays (this time the 18th) and airs at:
6:00 PM - United Kingdom Time (most RadioSEGA folks)
7:00 PM - Central European Time (some others) (me, I'm living in 7:00 PM territory)
and lasts for somewhere around 1 to 2 hours!
(note that start times might change if, due to loadshedding in South Africa, it turns out I won't have power during planned showtime)
If you need an explanation of what Individiual is: It's an (adjective) show in which we take the time to discuss the histories and sounds of SEGA Sound Designers (or at least the composers with substantial ties to SEGA). We'll be playing music, digging up old interviews and news articles, spouting a lot of developer-related trivia and maybe talk about some video games I dunno.
For those in the ever-growing future, this week's episode was about Andy Armer.
