| 0:00.0 | Hello, listener. This is producer Jeffrey. Step into my time machine. Long ago, beginning in the |
| 0:08.0 | ancient past of 2009, we made a show called Our Fair City. Now, Our Fair City is a sprawling |
| 0:16.7 | epic story set in the dystopian future of Hartford, Connecticut. A climate disaster made the world |
| 0:23.3 | outside a frozen wasteland. What remains of humanity lives inside in a largely subterranean city |

| 2:04.7 | there are a dozen wolves waiting around for something on Main Street, and they'll say, oh, yeah, |
| 2:10.1 | we've been getting calls and we're sending a wolf expert to come and pick them up. Not a problem. |
| 2:15.7 | Not even a... |
| 2:16.6 | Are we sure if this is the right move? |
| 2:37.1 | I'm not sure of anything, but we need to do something. Do you have another idea? I'm not being snarky. Do you? How about plan A is we make sure this is even happening?
