46:37

Bill Beament grew up in a working class family out of Esperance in Western Australia. He dreamed of being a general manager of a mine one day. Instilled at a young age with a deep work ethic and an acute commercial sense, he achieved much, much more than this as CEO and Executive Chair of Northern Star. Bill reshaped the underground gold mining ind…

Culture Scaling Playbook: Hiring and Retention [S7.E2] 34:55

3M ago34:55

34:55

What is a high-performing culture? It's a question some think as straightforward as it is philosophical. In these special episodes, we explore high performing cultures; what they are, how to create them, and most importantly how to not just maintain them, but scale them. By drawing upon the wisdom of the previous CEOs, founders, leaders who I have …

SP05 - Masanori Takeuchi (15 December 2023) 1:59:42

8M ago1:59:42

1:59:42

WinterFest is here! This individual was kept a secret, making himself known the moment WinterFest began. This episode covering the history and music of Masanori Takeuchi is extra hot and heavy metal, and even sneaks in some recommendations for getting into early 2000's metal. There's a focus on the indivuals of SEGA's AM R&D Dept. #1 (AM1), includi…

S3E22 - Sonic & Knuckles (08 November 2023) 2:20:51

9M ago2:20:51

2:20:51

Suddenly, the finale of Individual crept up on us! And it's technically a two-parter, with the American-focused Sonic the Hedgehog being made complete by locking on Sonic & Knuckles: a dive into pretty much every developer of the game. There are designers like Hirokazu Yasuhara and Takashi Iizuka, there are programmers like Yuji Naka and Masanobu Y…

S3E21 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (27 October 2023) 2:00:12

9M ago2:00:12

2:00:12

A special request from listener Jamie caps off Americans month. We're talking about one little game, but it was written like 1 really big game, but RadioSEGA imitates SEGA, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles has been split into the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 episode and the Sonic & Knuckles episode. This first episode covers every American musician invo…

S3E20 - Howard Drossin - The Rock & SEGA Years (19 October 2023) 1:44:12

9M ago1:44:12

1:44:12

The third episode in Individual's Americans Month covers Howard Drossin's history, some of which you can hear from the Howard's month on a pair of The SEGA Lounge episodes from 2020. This episode should give the third-person view of his years as a touring guitarist, how he entered SEGA Technical Institute and where the department, and his career as…

S3E19 - Andy Armer: Part 1 (11 October 2023) 1:45:12

10M ago1:45:12

1:45:12

Explicit warning! Your problem, not mine. The second individual of Americans Month is Andy Armer, who more people should talk about. This episode is stacked with canceled Sega Genesis games, plus a peek at Herb Alpert's work in the jazz/funk scene of the 80s. But when it comes to the actual released games, we're stepping on the Singing Mountain pod…

S3E18 - David Leytze (04 October 2023) 2:09:58

10M ago2:09:58

2:09:58

From one rocker to another, the American-themed month of Individual begins with David Leytze (who was in Japan when he was working for SEGA, oops). Some technically impressive games with less impressive working conditions are on blast with talks and music of Desert Tank, INDY 500, Fighting Vipers and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Indiv…

S3E17 - Koichi Namiki: Part 2 (27 September 2023) 1:47:57

10M ago1:47:57

1:47:57

When the music you can play is mostly from albums, 4 to 6 minutes each, it becomes a very musical episode. Arguably, Koichi Namiki in a post-SEGA world is more of a multimedia composer than a video game composer, but he's still getting there. From PC-to-console ports to Aki Hata and Katsuhiro Hayashi collaborations, there's a lot of patterns to spo…

S3E16 - Izuho Numata: Part 2 (20 September 2023) 1:35:13

10M ago1:35:13

1:35:13

Easier to remember everything when it's only a week apart! It's the second episode covering the individual Izuho Numata, picking up in 1992 with the SEGA games Honoo no Toukyuuji: Dodge Danpei, Dark Wizard and Phantasy Star IV The end of the millenium. That's only 3/5 of the episode, though, because there's also plenty of talk, plus a bit of music,…

For the first time since Individual began, we have a multi-parter where part 2 will be coming only a week later! Also returning to pre-recorded content, this first Izuho Numata episode cover 1988 to 1991, so that includes her Falcom and CAPCOM ports, Master System games developed by Sanritsu, and her rare arcades games. Hope you enjoy these talks a…

11M ago2:31:27

2:31:27

A "1-hour show" became a very average-length LiVE show. A lot of Jun Senoue's personal insights are covered, whereas, in terms of actual games, there's only deep dives, both in terms of talks and music, for Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Individual 00:00:18 - Pro Yakyuu Team o Tsukurou! 3 - Mr. Baseball feat. Eric Martin 00:…

S3E13 - Masayuki Nagao (03 September 2023) 1:42:16

11M ago1:42:16

1:42:16

Hmm, why does this episode look so much shorter than the ones before it? Because it's pre-recorded again! Internet issues and all that. Anyways, Game Gear Month's most-hyped individual Masayuki Nagao had some involvement with this episode, answering questions and checking out radiose.ga/discord, so in addition to the GG goodness from Doraemon: Nora…

S3E12 - Saori Kobayashi (26 August 2023) 2:17:13

11M ago2:17:13

2:17:13

The second Saturday show. It will not become the standard. Panzer Dragoon Saga also fiddled with conventions, specifically for RPGs, but lead composer Saori Kobayashi has roots in that convention, namely Sylvan Tale for the Game Gear. While that's her most famous, her Game Gear history crams 9 games into 3 years, including Deep Duck Trouble starrin…

In the middle of Game Gear month, the batteries start to run low, and while we can still make some progress in Defenders of Oasis, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic Drift, we'll have to check out other consoles. Luckily, Masafumi Ogata offers us talks and music of Hyper Marbles, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, m ~kimi wo tsutaete~ and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 …

NOTE: This episode has been heavily edited from its original LiVE broadcast. Anyways, the cute Yayoi Wachi is the second Game Gear Month owner, with prominent anime tie-ins like Kenyuu Densetsu YAIBA and Magic Knight Rayearth, as well as RPGs like Royal Stone and, er, Magic Knight Rayearth. Despite this, she may be most famous for her Sega Saturn w…

3:00:55

Surprisingly similar to the Hiro episode from last week, covering much the same time period (2002-2004) with many personal anecdotes courtesy of the Sanpe website. This episode has no 80's in sight though, and only some 90's thanks to From Loud 2 Low. It's about all early 2000's games like Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz, WORLD CLUB Champion Footbal…

S3E04 - Hiro: Part 3 (28 June 2023) 3:01:05

1y ago3:01:05

3:01:05

There's a lot of talk in this episode, some still about the 80's through retro rereleases like SPACE HARRIER, FANTASY ZONE and AFTER BURNER, but with no games between 2001 and 2004, this episode's unique focus is on the public image Hiro put on Hitmaker Sound Page, including the personal lives of SEGA staff and fan interactions.
