Number 5: The Story Thus Far
Season 2 is a couple weeks away. And if you don’t have time to re-listen to all of season 1, we wanted to help you out a little bit. So Jeffrey, Gabriel, and I are here to do a recap of season 1. Three quick thoughts before we jump in. First, s with our first season- we'll be doing livestreams of season two episodes before they air! There will be more information on our social media, and on our website at www.audaciousmachinecreative.com. Next, you know how the Harbingers is a story that jumps around in time? For this recap we have taken all the twists, turns, and loop-di-loops and ironed them out into a chronological straight line. By doing that, it makes some parts of the story more clear and some less clear. So you might notice new connections. But that leads me to my final thing - a caution. We left stuff out. This isn’t a replacement for listening to season 1. You will miss lots of stuff. So please, enjoy this for what it is. A good way to jog your memory and get excited about what comes next. Without further ado, please enjoy… the story thus far. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
