Skies of Arcadia | E19: She Doesn't Know Your Deeds [To The Desert]

Season 9 · Episode 19

Monday, October 12, 2026 • Duration 57:47

A man who lives by the skies? There is nothing more honorable than that. Well, except for breaking up with dad, telling mom goodbye, renewing the spirit of adventure, vowing to find all of the Moon Crystals, starting Fina at level 1, knitting for the whole game, cooking lunch with our eyes closed, being the guy who everyone is talking about, beating Domingo to discoveries, receiving the Black Spot, buying Secondary Cannons for the fighting boat, meeting a goth bounty hunter with awesome hair, recognizing that scar anywhere, and collecting too many little guys. This is my chance to find out what's really out there.

Skies of Arcadia | E18: Danny DeVite [Adventure Embarkation]

Season 9 · Episode 18

Monday, October 5, 2026 • Duration 55:27

If you can heal a boat, you can kill a boat. After we realized that, we tried slipping through the door by the skin of our teeth, liberating treasure that could help the needy, asking Fina about her "mission," calling upon 666, interpreting sketches of an ancient civilization, learning of The Rains of Destruction, favoring moon-based lore, setting out on a crystal quest, tolerating an annoying pet, checking in with the kids, loving a lazy bum, realizing Cupil is a Chewbacca situation, eating moonstones, and making sure all pirates are accounted for. I guess this is your chance to see what lies beyond the sunset.

Skies of Arcadia | E17: Terminator Hard Walk [Upper Valua & Rail Car]

Season 9 · Episode 17

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 01:04:24

If the gate closes, we're all dead. To break through, we'll have to practice looking through the looking glass, overselling the aristocracy, commissioning a silver toilet, lying about our family, eating delicious white bread, seeing a train for the first time, face-planting after a bridge leap, considering the Train Level, fighting on top of a moving train, taking off the cape, hard-walking for a fight, kicking down the door, falling over, giving the cops our real name, explaining piracy to fascists, exiting through the entrance, and finally firing the harpoon cannon. You did all this, just for me?

Skies of Arcadia | E16: Mother, Of Course This Country is Wrong [The Rescue]

Season 9 · Episode 16

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:05:05

Why do you not rejoice with us? What's stopping you, and also us, from proceeding through the shitpipe, placating the lower class with public executions, killing the warden of spells, taking no prisoners, entering a secret sewer room, seeing a train for the first time, telling mother this country is wrong, making the empress too mean, expanding the meaning of "impossible," verbally whipping another motherboy, scattering six Moon Crystals across the world, trying to prevent nuclear proliferation, wondering what Ramirez did to Fina, and realizing we have completely ruined the world's only sewage processing plant. Let's lay low for a little while.

Skies of Arcadia | E15: Chalky Piss / Pissy Chalk [Catacombs]

Season 9 · Episode 15

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 01:02:10

If you don't like my ship, you can find yourself another one. While you're looking for it, listen to us as we're making dad pay for the hotel room, relaxing after a hard day, finding a dialogue divergence point, making decisions swiftly, clasping hands to boost up a jumper, chasing a pervert across rooftops, pooping straight into hell, completing the countdown to sewer, knowing there's always a way out of a storm, donning dot eyes, narrating the scene, swiping away chalk dust, thinking some poop looks edible, slicing through gelatinous waste, and traveling all the way back to Lower City to see if anyone has anything new to say. I just want you to see something interesting before you die.

Skies of Arcadia | E14: Deranged Shitheads [Lower City Valua]

Season 9 · Episode 14

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 01:06:43

Soup or power, take your pick, what do you want? Perhaps, instead, you would prefer meeting the roster of villains, capturing a citizen of the silver civilization, labeling a pervert, imagining more One Piece comparisons, confining the less fortunate to Lower City, smelling like garbage, drawing bold lines between two classes, meeting the local Big Bag Rascal, refusing to collect trash, losing another smile, realizing Valua is a Button Town, coloring on the ground, eating hard black bread, finding comfort in those who are worse off than ourselves, and calmly exchanging reasonable beliefs about toasting bread. Should I fire my big cannon, baby?

Skies of Arcadia | E13: I Don't Even Have a Wife [Heading to Valua]

Season 9 · Episode 13

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 56:50

Never take your hands off the wheel until we have come to a complete stop. And before you decelerate, listen to us forgetting Blackbeard was a real guy, trying to remember orally recited directions, trying our very best to figure out ship battles, determining what sort of code a black pirate has, applying the Captain's Stripe, forgetting critical game mechanics, ramming the Little Jack into a canyon wall, jamming moonfish into a bird, vomiting eggs, learning Doc and Maria's lore, suffering through outrageous animations, darkening the world map sky, and throwing corpses off the island. Let's rip 'em to shreds, sir.

Skies of Arcadia | E12: This Place is a Place [Sailor's Island, Part II]

Season 9 · Episode 12

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 53:07

May the moons guide you in your journey. If that doesn't work, we'll guide you into figuring out Eric is attracted to ladies with green elbow-length gloves, receiving a blown kiss, facing Justice Under God, bestowing merchants with names, learning of the Harpoon Cannon, stealing a guy's money, wearing a dumb guy hat, projecting big dreams on such a little fellow, finding a message in a bottle on a balloon, flipping a mustache, decoding a dirty sock, bargaining with Drachma, seeking a Valuan passport, wondering if Polly is recruitable, cutting a risky deal with a Nasr merchant, and realizing Sailors' Island is just Buc-ee's. All of the stuff from The Temple of Doom is at Hobby Lobby.

Skies of Arcadia | E11: Could Be a Dynamite Cop [Sailor's Island, Part I]

Season 9 · Episode 11

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 58:04

I can already tell, this place is lots of fun. If podcasts can be places, we're consulting the large map, meeting a GameCube doctor without borders, mixing pirate fiction with anime, picking up a game-spanning collection initiative, browsing the list of criminals, leaning like an asshole, rolling on the floor laughing, discovering oddities for money, talking about various things, including background tavern commotion, feasting like there's no tomorrow, feeling welcome in a new community, and realizing the old man hates us. How in the Six Moons am I supposed to catch them?

Skies of Arcadia | E10: A Whale Teeth Conversation [Drachma and the Little Jack]

Season 9 · Episode 10

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 01:05:26

I pray that the moons watch over you everywhere you go. I also pray that you listen to us talking to the walls that are falling apart, losing Ben the Lookout, making sure we keep knitting, letting Alan fix everything, yearning to topple an empire with a tiny boat, driving my shitboat into danger, dropping in a sky whale, remembering how Chris feels about whales, absorbing a mechanical gut punch, picking up boxes and then putting them back down, and then adding an old man to our party before bringing him home to mom. Stand tall, my son.
