0:00.0	Hi everyone, this is Grant Stewart, an editor on the Orbiting Human Circus.
0:04.6	I'm here to tell you about a show that I've created with Christy Gressman, the producer of
0:08.7	Orbiting Human Circus, and a few members of the OHC family. It's called Milky Way Underground.
0:14.6	It's a story of a brother and a sister whose father goes missing, and when they try to find him,
0:19.9	they get sucked into a maze of alternate worlds. Each of the places that they end up in
0:25.4	almost seems like home, and they have versions of people that they recognize,
0:29.7	but none of it's quite right. It's an adventure, it's a drama, and it's really just about two
0:35.6	people who are trying to grow up while facing challenges that they just don't know how to go with.
0:40.6	If you like studio ghibli movies, like spirited away and house-moving Castle,
0:45.0	we really think you might enjoy this. So, if you're interested, check us out and
0:50.7	subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or whatever your favorite podcast app is.

1:06.9	Where are we? I don't know. What are we doing? I don't know. You see the riverbank?
1:15.4	Jump after me. Wait! Come on! Jump!
1:24.3	You're awake? It's fall in New York City, and life is changing for Lydia and Elijah.
1:31.2	You know, you seem a bit tense today. I am tense. Mom and dad are at it again.
1:36.8	Let's talk in our room. They'll be done in a second. Everyone's been sleeping less.
1:45.0	Hello? You wonder why you're having trouble sleeping and you're drinking coffee at eight o'clock.
1:50.2	Lydia and Elijah are having stranger and stranger dreams. I know you. Is it possible for two
1:56.4	people to have the same dream? I know you. Hey, have you guys heard from dad? You didn't come home.
2:04.8	No! No! Wait! Wait!
2:06.8	You swam. You haven't spoken to him at all. Do you think it's something else?
