It's the season finale of The SEGA Lounge AND it's RadioSEGA's WinterFest! We wrap up another year of shows with a round table episode focused on two topics: the recent "Next Level" announcement by SEGA, and a look back at most of the Sonic stuff that we got in 2023. Joining KC are Lime Reversed, James 'SkillJim' Brown, and, for the first time ever, YouTube legend Sam Procrastinates.
