The BumbleKast is a podcast run by the KNGI network, hosted by renowned Sonic the Hedgehog writer Ian Flynn and his longtime friend, Kyle Crouse. Starting as a relatively simple podcast between two friends, it’s since grown a substantial niche as a place where various Sonic fans ask questions for Ian Flynn (mostly) to answer. The types of Episodes are as follows:

Starline's death is a pretty frequent source of Black Comedy

What Could Have Been: Discussed occasionally with works he’s pitched that didn’t get off the ground, such as the Super Mario Bros. comic that was pitched to Nintendo.invoked

Early-Installment Weirdness: A precursor to the BumbleKast called "Ask Ian" can be found on Ian’s personal YouTube page starting here. These are much shorter and only feature Ian himself answering questions. The earliest episodes of the BumbleKast were much more traditional podcasts of the two hosts discussing whatever was on their mind with only a few questions answered at the end. On the plus side, these episodes do include interviews/discussions with other prominent Sonic staff, something that hasn’t happened since Evan Stanley’s appearance in #116 in April 2020.

Character Blog: Combined with Hostile Show Takeover, the February 22, 2022 Episode features a Q&A session with Dr. Starline from the Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) comics, taking questions from the viewers, with Ian Flynn acting as Starline. It later got a sequel. Later ones have been done with Big and Orbot.

Rule of Funny: Many of their answers deliberately run on this, which they will occasionally lampshade.

Hostile Show Takeover: One viewer thought it'd be funny if Dr. Starline came onto the show to answer questions, to which Flynn joked if someone could pay for the guest spot, then it would happen. Someone did call his bluff and actually paid for the spot, which led to Flynn stepping out of the February 22, 2022 Episode in order to "bring" Starline on-board to answer questions.

comment
Flanderization: With most answers leaning into comedic, this happens a lot with the characters talked about. Particularly with Tangle, where he will occasionally lampshade this tendency to try and avoid overdoing it.

Crossover: Far too many to list. However, he does turn down some questions for franchises he knows nothing to little about.

Running Gag
 BumbleKast (Podcast) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Expect to see your fair share of Sonic memes, such as that Knuckles doesn’t chuckle. Kyle yanking Ian’s chain and vice versa. Boom plots: Scenarios involving the characters of the Sonic Boom universe. Also comes up sometimes with scenarios not involving Boom but take on a similar wacky tone. Starline Isekais: Scenarios where Starline is thrown into various wacky scenarios across different media. Starline's death is a pretty frequent source of Black Comedy "Nermies", a term originating from background text in Shadow's game, which was coined by one asker as an alternative term to "Mobians" since the word "Mobius" is banned from modern Sonic media. Shipping questions, especially ones that count as Crack Ships, tend to get a big reaction from Ian, Kyle, or both.
