Longtime listeners of SMTN may remember Ross Brierley from his time at Ghostlight Games when we invited him on the podcast way back when. Ghostlight was the European publisher of various games like Persona 3 Portable, Trails In The Sky, and even released Nocturne as Lucifer's Call. Ross looks back at the last 18 years at Ghostlight with us and I hope you all enjoy the long episode.

A few weeks back Bubbletea and Nam's Compendium both released a video all about which version of Persona 4 is superior. So I thought it would be fun to invite them both on the podcast together. We discuss comparing Atlus titles from one to another, making videos, what we have been playing, and much more.

Solo show this week, but we talk about how Naka Kon 2025 was and even take a closer look at what a Persona 4 remake actually means. Will another game that isn't Persona 6 just slow things down and are people even excited to play this game again? We go over that and much more in this shorter one man episode.

This week a surprise Persona announcement happened and it was the reveal of an official Persona cookbook is coming out later this year. To celebrate I invited author Jarrett Melendez onto the podcast to talk all about it. Jarrett has been writing cookbooks, comics, and much more for many years. It was a delight to talk to him all about how he got into the series and how this cookbook became a reality.

Atlus dropped a nice free update for SMTVV that not only adds a new demon/subquest, six new demon navigators from the popularity poll earlier this year, and even more quality of life changes. So for this week's podcast I take a solo look at all the new content added to the game for this shorter episode.
