| 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, |

| 1:36.3 | Oh, there you are. |
| 1:47.8 | And where have you two been? |
| 1:50.0 | Making trouble? |
| 1:52.2 | Well, I've got good news. |
| 1:54.6 | We may be going home soon. |
| 1:57.6 | I know. |
| 1:59.7 | How long has it been? |
| 2:01.6 | It feels like... |
