Summary
Welcome to "Severed: The Ultimate Severance Podcast". This time out, we'll be welcoming a brand-new severed worker to Macrodata Refinement. Her name is "Helly R." and I really think you're going to like her. We'll meet her and find out more about this whole Severance thing in "The Good News About Hell"-PT1. We have a lot of folks to meet, locations to discover and we need to get that Severance procedure explained to us a good half dozen times or so!! There was SO MUCH happening in this first episode, it was necessary to divide it in half.
