I (Colin) am very, very pleased to welcome Eddie -- also known as Obsolete Sony -- to Sacred Symbols+, along with returning guest Sandeep Rai, a writer and entrepreneur with a growing catalog of Kickstarter successes. If you're not familiar with Obsolete Sony, it's Eddie's remarkable Twitter/X account (as well as a Substack, IG, and more) dedicated to the storied history of the Sony brand, and it has attracted a legion of followers because of the quality and depth of its output. And now that Obsolete Sony and Sandeep have serendipitously found each other, the two are collaborating on an all-new Kickstarter aimed squarely at the type of people who listen to Sacred Symbols. It's called Sony Year-By-Year: A Visual Journey, and it's shaping up to be exceptional. Sandeep's extensive history of awesome PlayStation-related Kickstarters should itself give you all the confidence in the world, but once you hear from Eddie himself in his first ever interview, chances are you're going to be totally sold. If you've ever wanted to hear one of the world's foremost experts on the Sony brand have his brain picked by one of the world's biggest PlayStation nerds, well, simply hit play.

Wow my favorite Twitter account on my favorite podcast 🥹✊ super pumped for this one!

Andrew Simmons

Obviously not listened, but I purchased all 4 of the retro playstation magazines thanks to Colin recommending them. Great stuff. Look forward to issue 5!

Man, Colin really hyped up this guest but as someone who doesn't use Twitter/X, I have no idea who this guy is. Looking forward to listening but Colin, not everyone lives on Twitter. Edit after listening: This episode was awesome. Very knowledgeable guy and fascinating information. Didn't mean to be negative in my initial comment, just don't like the assumption that everyone is on Twitter or that it's even remotely relevant to most people.

I enjoy that Twitter page a lot. There was a lot of things about early Sony

This was a good episode but wow obsolete talked the whole time and the other guy didn't get to talk at all! Kind of disrespectful. Everytime he wanted to start saying something which was only a few times, obsolete just started talking over him and took over

I thought it might be Obsolete, I was also thinking maybe Hakoom in light of his recent messaging!

Drew Lee

Wow. What an episode.

Here’s to episode 420, very insightful interview

Beau!

Awesome!

CameraWasOnTheWholeTimeHuh?

Never typically comment but just wanted to say this guy was a treat to listen to. I know this episode won’t have mass appeal like the others but you rarely get to listen to a guest who basically has an answer for every question despite how varied they may be. Well done.

I’ve always heard Colin saying “Sandy Bry”

I don't normally comment either but lets get these 2 on again. Love me some Sandeep Rai and now Obsolete Eddie. Perhaps a series of SS+ episodes, 1 hour isnt enough!

Bro the thought of a history of Sony coffee table book. Yall should take colin up and get a collab going!

Del Griffith

Why isn’t Jaffe on this episode? Colin, stop being a coward and have Jaffe on every episode!

Mr. Mystery

On the anti-Japanese sentiment point Colin made. It seems like a turning point on US sentiment on Japanese products was during the 70s due to their price point and craftsmanship. The oil embargo also pushed people towards Japanese cars. There would be a major backlash in the 80s it seemed due to the Japanese buying many companies and properties here and outcompeting American brands.
