An Interview With Mike Pollock [Dr. Eggman in Sonic Frontiers (and more!)]

The Redcast is BACK! It's time for another addition to my "An Interview With" series where I chat to someone in the world of entertainment about their career, covering both their best-known and lesser-known work! Today, it's the voice of everyone's favourite video game genius... Dr Eggman, aka Mike Pollock! We chat all about getting the role of Eggman, his attitude towards acting as an industry, the changes to the Sonic franchise in Sonic Frontiers... and also the Sonic Fandubs. Don't act surprised, you knew it'd come up. This interview contains very mild and infrequent strong language.
