| 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, |

| 2:07.9 | Whenever there was a storm, she used to run into our bedroom and sleep with Dale and me. |
| 2:12.8 | Sometimes if we were too hard to wake, she'd just drag all her blankets into our room |
