After last week's emotional cliffhanger, Mythic Quest takes a break this week from our present-day storylines to take us back to the 1970s. It's time for "Backstory!" in which we meet a young Carl, who would soon become C.W., and his two fellow writers and comrades: A.E. and Peter.

Jenn and Chels have two of the Welcome to Greendale podcasters back: Michael (@mikeluvsgushers) and Jillian (@holycityfangirl) to break down what makes this episode so incredible, how it portrays creatives, what we learn about C.W., and much more.

Enjoy!
