| 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 |
| 0:30.4 | governed by the remains of an insurance company. Now, our fair city is darkly funny. You'll meet mad scientists, lightning rigors, |
| 0:40.8 | the Woken Dead, giant ants, time travelers, and mole people. We are currently re-releasing |
| 0:48.1 | Our Fair City weekly. So this is a great time to join us for a romp through the tunnels of heartlife. |
| 0:56.2 | After today's episode, we'll be sharing a trailer for the show. |
| 0:59.6 | I hope you'll check it out. |
| 1:00.9 | And I would love you to join us in our listen of Our Fair City, |
| 1:06.6 | found wherever you're listening to this podcast right now. |

| 1:20.9 | You can find it at our website. |
| 1:23.1 | You can find merch from the 75th annual Mount Absalom Celery Festival with this really beautiful |
| 1:29.3 | and yet slightly creepy image of a celeric root. |
| 1:32.3 | I'm really into it. |
| 1:33.3 | There are coffee mugs with Abby's rules for small talk in the morning, which basically |
| 1:38.3 | boiled down to don't do it. |
| 1:40.3 | And there are a couple of really cool interpretations of our show art so that you can go |
| 1:45.6 | represent Unwell as you're like walking around in real life. We are super proud of all of this |
| 1:51.4 | merch and we think you'll like it too. So you can head on over to our website at Unwellpodcast.com |
