An ordinary refueling stop turns dangerous when Rando Calrissian’s space cruiser gets stolen, leaving him stranded on the second moon of Monmoor Delta. But when Rando tries to get a ticket to somewhere, anywhere else, he runs afoul of the bewitching green-skinned Crura Fallopian and her syndicate. What does Crura want? And how is she connected to the mysterious Comboy Conglomerate, the company that seems to run everything on Monmoor Delta? Listen to this grab bag of VGM to find out!

I closed out the last music block with an amazing song from Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness &amp; the Secret Hideout, and if you want to hear more from this series, you can check out the episodes of Super Marcato Bros doing a deeper dive into these games. There’s a full episode devoted to Atelier Ryza at <a href='https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2019/10/6/episode-389-atelier-ryza'>https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2019/10/6/episode-389-atelier-ryza</a> and an episode looking at some other games in the series at <a href='https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2017/5/28/episode-269-the-atelier-series'>https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2017/5/28/episode-269-the-atelier-series</a>. 
If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads, Tumblr, or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at <a href='mailto:shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com'>shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com</a>. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at <a href='https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy'>https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy</a>. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on FGC Radio or at <a href='https://rss.com/podcasts/hmibisondollars/'>https://rss.com/podcasts/hmibisondollars/</a>. 
If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.
