[Update: Thanks to @ClaytonFlesher for being the first to point out the weird audio issue on some of the post-mid-point audio inserts. An edit on one track nudged the audio a fraction of a second out-of-synch and caused the two tracks to make a weird echo through the rest of the episode. That's fixed in this 9/21/2020 3:15 pm modification.]
