Previous Episode: Episode 1: A Murder Mystery

It's episode 2 and we're hopping in our time travel machines, taking our literary first aid kits with us to guide us through the mind-boggling concept of being some-when else. Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads! (But we do need books.)


Forgive a mild tech issue on Nic's side in this episode - there's a little bit of static feedback. Promise it's a one-off.
