Summary

Hi there! Producer Jeffrey here. We’re really excited to share an episode from the show we made directly after Our Fair City- Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery. It’s a very different show- it’s a gothic story set in rural Ohio, centering around a smaller cast of characters- but we think if you like Our Fair City, you’ll really love Unwell. You’ll also hear a bunch of familiar voices and hear the work of some of your favorite folks who worked on Our Fair City, along with some brand new folks!

Unwell is also a complete show- you can head over to that feed and hear five complete seasons of the show.

Thanks so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy!

Lily Harper comes “home.”
