Episode 67 - Rando Calrissian and the Calamitous Comboy Conspiracy

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!

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 find on FGC Radio, Patreon, and most podcatchers. 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.
