Hello and welcome to The Legend of Podcast: Trails through Trails! Thanks for joining us on our very first episode.

| Sky FC Prologue Pt 2 - Maybe the Harmonica Slaps? | 03 May 2025 | 01:30:39 | |
Man it just doesn’t slow down sometimes. One second you’ve just gotten your (Junior) Bracer badge and the next, your dad’s leaving town. You just gotta grow up, put on your big-girl pants and run around town solving everybody’s problems. I wonder how Dad’s doing? 「 COVERED THIS WEEK 」 The end of Trails in the Sky FC’s Prologue! 「 LINKS 」 Trails in the Sky FC Maps from Crimson Tear ++++++++++ Find us on the Orbal Net: http://trailspod.online ++++++++++ Season 1 show art by the fabulously talented Tom Oxnam: https://www.tomoxnam.art Intro and Outro music from https://FreePD.com Intro: “Stunted Adventure” by Bryan Teoh Outro: “Swing Maching” by Kevin MacLeod Thanks for listening! 「 COVERED NEXT WEEK 」 「 TIMESTAMPS 」

| Sky FC Final Chapter Pt 3 - Floaty Dog, Stumpy and Squidward | 05 Jul 2025 | 02:24:24 | |
When we started this journey into the life of a bracer, it was all about finding mushrooms and fighting the army. After a trip around the entire nation of Liberl, it's changed to be about... well, uh. Storming the capital. But in a good way!! We're fighting AGAINST the misogynists. We also have to fight our way through one of the most devious dungeons in all my years of RPG playing, my goodness. Get ready for about eight and a half minutes about that! It's time to finish the fight! And then immediately start the next fight, because hot damn that ending is really something. Join us next week as we go back over the whole game and our feelings about it, with two extra-special guests joining the show!

The hits keep on coming! And by 'hits', I mean 'crowds of people who can't function without their magic electricity'. We stop by both the most and least impacted cities in the country, clear the dramas at their tourist destinations, and then get a standing invitation from Kloe's mother to come visit. We also get ALL of our steps in this week, thank you sidequests 「 COVERED THIS WEEK 」 SC Chapter 8, Zeiss and Rolent! 「 LINKS 」 Possessor(s) knows who the real demons are by Lex! ++++++++++ Find us on the Orbal Net: http://trailspod.online A proud member of the TWG podcast network: http://theworstgarbage.online ++++++++++ Season 2 show art by the unbelievably skilled Tom Oxnam: https://www.tomoxnam.art Intro and Outro music from https://FreePD.com Intro: “Stunted Adventure” by Bryan Teoh Outro: “Swing Maching” by Kevin MacLeod Thanks for listening! 「 COVERED NEXT WEEK 」 The end of SC Chapter 8! 「 TWG COMMUNITY CHEST 」 Here's another show on the TWG network you might enjoy!

Freedom! A wide-open map! This would be even more exciting if the whole country weren't in crisis right now. It's time to start sweeping the nation, fixing everyone's problems during the power outage - plus a guest appearance from our very own warrior cat! We've bettered Bose and repaired Ruan, so the rest of Liberl is probably fine. Right? This week we also have a lil mini-review of Possessor(s), a new gatepunk game that we were lucky enough to play ahead of release!

| Sky 3rd Chapter 4 Pt 2 - A Wife to Guy For | 16 May 2026 | 02:34:13 | |
Wife Guy (noun): A masc-presenting individual, who builds his goals and choices around adoring his femme-presenting romantic partner. Prioritises her needs above his own with a sense of great satisfaction. Example: "Men will leave on a solo, continent-spanning Depression Tour to fight a clandestine organisation rather than admit they're a wife guy who needs therapy."
