When it came time to decide what to do for our 100th episode of The Hill Is Always Greener, there was only ever one choice. Enjoy this nearly four hour retrospective on @sonicparadox.bsky.social and the Sonic Shorts series, featuring the people who made it all possible.
Out now: SONIC THE COMIC THE PODCAST #175! @faulerro.bsky.social joins us to kick off STC's ten-part FINAL story arc: the SONIC ADVENTURE adaptation! From green eyes to Black Beauty, it truly is the beginning of the end... or is it all just a Load'er Bull?

Oh hey, there's a new Sonic racing game coming out? Huh, had no idea. Anyway, totally unrelated, here's a The Hill Is Always Greener episode all about Sonic Riders!
Hey everyone! No new episode this week, because episode 100 is going to need a little more time in the oven to make sure it’s cooked to perfection. Check back in two weeks to hear a lot of old friends joining us for a celebration of our past that is sure to be anything but short…
It’s @bandcamp.com Friday!! which means you should buy some wonderful tunes from our friend @amiewaters.bsky.social!!!
Unlike Sonic, we don't chuckle...actually that's a lie, we're laughing pretty much nonstop in this one. @prismaeya.bsky.social returns to The Hill Is Always Greener for a deep dive on Knuckles the Echidna!

As we approach our 100th episode, I'm reminded of the fact that I never do much to promote our Sonic podcast, The Hill Is Always Greener, found at @sonicf.bsky.social.
I guess this accomplishes that? Actually I'm not really sure. I think I got distracted halfway through.
It is foretold that one day, the podcast will return from the stars...and that day is today, as The Hill Is Always Greener looks back at the debut of Knuckles in Sonic the Comic!
He made us too dumb to quit! It's a new The Hill Is Always Greener episode on the origins of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog!

'Tis the season...so let's get WEIRD with it. It's time for The Hill Is Always Greener's holiday special!
Aw yeah! This is happening...again! The Hill Is Always Greener asks the all important question: What would we want in a Sonic Adventure remake?
What strength! But don't forget there are many hogs like you all over the world! It’s a new The Hill is Always Greener taking a look back at Sonic and the Silicon Warriors!
"The guest star you never dreamed you'd see?" I mean...yeah, they're not wrong. The Hill Is Always Greener looks back at the MULTIPLE comic crossovers between Sonic and Sabrina the Teenage Witch!

Five panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic. PANEL 1: South Island, a'la 8-bit Sonic 1. Narration Box: South Island, that mystical place across the sea. The travelling isle that people call magical. That's where it all happened, if the rumours are true. PANEL 2: A silhouette of what looks like Sonic. Narration Box: A lightning fast hero saved the peaceful island from becoming something else. Something sinister. He struck like a force of nature. Like an overpowering wind. PANEL 3: Silhouettes of Sonic and Eggman over a sunset, the Egg Mobile falling apart and belching smoke. Narration Box: The despicable villain who threatened to use South Island in his awful machinations was chased away... PANEL 4: The sun rises in the background of silhouetted flowers. Narration Box: ...And peace was restored in the blink of an eye. PANEL 5: Tails, in Green Hill Zone, talking excitedly in front of a shadowed furry figure, wearing a yellow backpack and holding a newspaper cutout of something vaguely spiky. Tails: So yeah, I had to go see it for myself! The place where he saved the world! ‘Cause maybe then I could meet him in person! That hero…
Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic. PANEL 1: Close-up of Tails' hands holding the newspaper cutout, a glimpse of a story on a Sonic-like figure moving in a blur. Tails: Mr. Spikes! PANEL 2: A female squirrel wearing overalls and a male rabbit wearing a turtleneck and jacket exchange dubious glances. PANEL 3: They turn to face Tails. Squirrel: Uh, we actually call him Sonic. Rabbit: Yeah, dunno where you got THAT name from. PANEL 4: Tails, continuing to look excited. Tails: Oh, that’s way cooler! I guess the news got a bit distorted by the time it reached my island. Still!! Do you know where I can find him? That, er, Sonic person? PANEL 5: All three characters, the squirrel and rabbit explaining to an expectant, curious Tails. Squirrel: Well he doesn't really stick around for very long. Rabbit: His whole thing is speed, after all. Just... zippin' around the place. I only ever saw him once or twice, to be honest. PANEL 6: Tails, walking off with vigour and a smile, as the squirrel waves him off with some small concern. Tails: Um, that's fine! I'll find him myself! I'll just look for the fastest, spikiest thing in the area! Squirrel: Good luck with that, kid...
Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic. PANEL 1: Tails continuing to walk further into Green Hill Zone, grasping his backpack straps tightly with a big grin on his face and closed eyes. The squirrel's hand can just be seen poking out the edge of the panel. Squirrel: ...We only ever see him when something's going wrong. Tails: Okay! Straight into danger I go, then! PANEL 2: Tails squints and scratches his head. PANEL 3: We see the peaceful Green Hill Zone spread out in front of him, with a tall seal talking to someone offscreen, a shuttle loop in the distance and flowers dotted around. A butterly flutters nearby and a slightly reddish rock is beside Tails. We view him from behind as he stares at this scene. Tails: There doesn't appear to be any of that going on right now. I mean, I guess peace WAS restored and all... PANEL 4: Tails rests an arm on the rock, which looks even more reddish in this light. He narrows his eyes, clearly disappointed. Tails: But what's a guy gotta do to find some good ol'-fashioned peril around here? PANEL 5: The "rock" turns around and is a Moto Bug badnik. Tails' tails perk up and he has a nervous, overly large grin on his face as he raises a finger victoriously. Tails: Now that's more like it! PANEL 6: Tails is running away panicked with a wide open mouth as the Moto Bug chases. We can just see it aggressively slashing its metal claws at him as its whole form does not fit in the panel, just peeking in from the left. Tails: YUP THAT'S SOME QUALITY DANGER RIGHT THERE AAAAA
Hey I made a Sonic fan comic that I'm calling "Hedgehog With Attitude". Here are the first three pages. Check it out and maybe I'll continue it when I have more time.
Oh hey, there's a new Sonic racing game coming out? Huh, had no idea. Anyway, totally unrelated, here's a The Hill Is Always Greener episode all about Sonic Riders!
Was my absolute honour that these good friends invited me on to just empty out my nerd brain to an unreasonable degree about my 8-bit'd Sonic childhood!
(Below, a commemorative doodle to right the wrong of me not noticing a certain mid-recording steam notification until well after we were done).
Four games, five friends, 8-bit. @jezmm.bsky.social returns to The Hill Is Always Greener for another deep dive on Master System Sonic!
