Welcome to the Great Fresan Relisten of 2023! Over the next four weeks, we'll be reissuing an episode a day from the The Invented Part and The Dreamed Part seasons of TMR so that you can catch-up, refresh your memory, have a few laughs, etc., before the May 10th launch of Season 19 on The Remembered Part.
This was our first actual TMR episode (not counting the one that introduced the concept), and wow man wow we've come a long way!
Here are the show notes from the original airing:
