0:00.0	Hello, Eleanor here, and I am here to talk about the wonderful new fiction podcast 2000 and late.
0:07.8	2000 and late is a new fiction podcast from the creator of The Bright Sessions.
0:12.5	It is a dark comedy that grapples with the havoc of our current moment and tries to find the hope inside of it.
0:19.6	The show follows Harper, a 36-year-old nihilist,

1:42.3	Life is our Fair City's most precious commodity.
1:48.7	We trade with no one.
1:50.6	Our economy is closed, and our currencies are internal.
1:54.6	With no profit to make, all the directors could hope for is to invest in our capital,
