To celebrate 25 years of the SEGA Genesis, we've dubbed March "Genesis Month" at SEGAbits. Why March instead of August, the true anniversary month? We didn't want to wait 8 months, and several of the milestone anniversary months for SEGA consoles take place in the Fall, so we wanted to space things out. We'll still do some stuff throughout the year, including August, but right now our focus is on March.
We're about halfway through Genesis Month, and I wanted to share with you guys what we've done and tell you what we have planned.
A.J. Rosa's YouTube series My Life with SEGA, which is exclusive to our channel, is without a doubt a highlight of the month. A.J. has a three part retrospective planned, with part 1 reviewing the first game, part 2 featuring a co-op play session, and part 3 focusing on the sequels:
Part 1 -
Part 2 -
Streets of Rage will receive more focus next week, as we dedicate 3/17-2/23 to the franchise.
We also have several interview podcasts lined up, the first of which is WaterMelon Video Games President Tulio Gonçalves (the man behind Pier Solar and Pier Solar HD for the Genesis/Mega Drive and Dreamcast):

Future interviews include Darren Wall of the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works Kickstarter book, and a SEGA legend who will probably have to be interviewed just after Genesis Month (which means we might make it a month and a half long celebration).
Other Genesis Month content can be found here, including Retro Reviews and Genesis focused written features: http://segabits.com/blog/tag/genesis-month/
Hope you all check it out, and please let me know what you think of the content and what you'd like to see in the future from us!
