0:00.0	Greetings everyone, this is Rob McCollum, welcome to another inside the episode 1865, this
0:11.8	one for episode 14, one of our extra content episodes that we put together for you to hear
0:18.5	the story of John Moog's booth and the conspiracy, which is where this entire process started
0:25.7	with two young fresh face playwrights at Baylor University wrote a play about John Wilkes Booth.
0:31.6	Those two men are with me here right now. Steven Walters and Eric Archilla, welcome back.

1:26.4	bring back to life some characters that we had to rip out of the play or rip out of the podcast.
1:32.4	We really didn't leave too much on the cutting room floor. I think there were maybe a couple
1:37.7	characters or scenes that we we ended up writing that we just never used, but for the most part
1:43.3	through this entire process, the podcast has enabled us to save a lot of that work and
1:49.2	well, it's a bit of a podcast thing. Yeah, the beauty of podcasting is that you can just keep telling
