Hey everyone it's specific and I'm here today with a very special episode.

This is the first episode of Woe Begone.

A podcast about Mike Walters who discovers a mysterious and violent online game.

What begins as an exploration of an alternate reality game with real life consequences quickly

becomes a search for technology that makes the game possible.

There are new episodes of Wobegon every Wednesday and a brand new all original soundtrack every episode.

And right now is the best time to hop in

and binge through the show. With over 160 episodes, there is a ton of story and

mystery here to unravel.

Fans of SAP are going to love this show.

It is full of mystery, suspense, and terrifying truths.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the first episode of Woe Begone.

And of course, if you enjoy the show, you can find Woe Begone on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Or you can check out Woebegon Pod.com for episodes and transcripts.

There's a link to the show as well as the website in our show notes below.

letting nature take its course.

I don't know why.

I thought that I, of all people, would be able to be party to this without becoming a participant.

Hubris maybe?

It wouldn't be the first time that Hubris has been my undoing.

I'm not a journalist.
