A Salamander Is Not A Fish - "Meddling Kids" Prologue

Episode 1
"Meddling Kids" by Edgar Cantero, Prologue

An old newspaper clipping catches us up on the events of 1977, we get acquainted with a group of broken former teen detectives, an old man gets out of prison, and there's a hint of something decidedly Lovecraftian.

New pod, who dis? We're still working out some kinks, so apologies for the audio quality being a little off this time. We promise it'll be better for chapter one. Special thanks to Erin Beever for our amazing cover art!
