5.8- Loamy's Choice

The warrens of Old Tunnel are vast, labyrinthine, and dangerous. One must take the utmost caution when traversing their mold-ridden expanses–unless, of course, you are the MolePerson designated Loamy. Then, barbeque sauce and a nursery song will have to do. === Our Fair City was originally released between 2011 and 2018.

Hi there!  Producer Jeffrey here. We’re really excited to share an episode from the show we made directly after Our Fair City- Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery. It’s a very different show- it’s a gothic story set in rural Ohio, centering around a smaller cast of characters- but we think if you like Our Fair City, you’ll really love Unwell.  You’ll also hear a bunch of familiar voices and hear the work of some of your favorite folks who worked on Our Fair City, along with some brand new folks! Unwell is also a complete show- you can head over to that feed and hear five complete seasons of the show.   Thanks so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy! === Lily Harper comes “home.” ⁠Content Advisories for this episode can be found here. ⁠ ⁠You can read a transcript for this episode here⁠.
