  • A little overdue in my book, this is a new version of the first episode. You may or may not like it, and that's fine. It's not replacing the other one. It's much longer, for sure, but this is the take I actually recorded with all the others for Season 1, and I feel better about the acting and now that I've cleaned up the noise, the sound quality. Hope you all enjoy, and stay tuned for Season 2.5 this summer!
