Discussing Sega Rally Documentary with Nick from Pandamonium Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

I just had the pleasure of doing an audio-only podcast with Nick from PandaMonium Reviews, to discuss his latest epic documentary about Sega Rally. We discussed what goes into making a four hour, forty minute production, as well as how he gets his game footage and some other fun moments about the documentary, game and history of Sega at the time. If you're into "behind the scenes" stuff - especially if you're a fellow creator - this is a fun one to listen to. Also, check out the links on the main page, for all the different ways to play Sega Rally!: Support Nick Here: https://www.patreon.com/pandamoniumnick Tip Nick on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/pandamoniumnick YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PandaMoniumReviews/ Main Post: https://retrorgb.com/sega-rally-documentary-podcast-with-nick-from-pandamonium.html Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.html All equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb
