This week, the crew gets the drop on... drops.

And we don't just mean The Drop from Hitman - on this episode, we discover drops in genres that go from heavy metal in Destiny to industrial in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. As well as a fair bit of dance music, yes.

This week, the crew (minus one) spins the wheel of instruments again, which demands a tribute of harps - and harp-related instruments.

Come hear us harping on about how harps are used in games that go from the mainstream Final Fantasy XII to the niche Chaos Rings to the very much unique Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (... sort of).
