Tom Kalinske was the ex CEO of SEGA of America. He took on the almost impossible task of overthrowing Nintendo during the 90s. Launching Sonic and turning the Mega Drive / Genesis into a top selling console makes this man a true SEGA and gaming legend.

A few years ago I (Dylan) had the pleasure of talking to the ex CEO of SEGA of America, the legendary Tom Kalinske, an interview that I duly transcribed and which you can read at the link below. The podcast has since taken off and we thought that it would be good to share the audio with you all. I was extremely nervous but trust me, Tom's ability to tell a story (mostly centred around bringing life to Sonic and going toe-to-toe with Nintendo in their prime) carries the podcast and ensures a great listen (when the sound doesn't cut out - oops!)
