Secrets will be uncovered!
A man manages to hack into the Defense Department and gets classified reports about aliens and UFOs, which he gives to Mulder. But the reports are encrypted and Mulder is acting erratic and unhinged. Scully tries to get the documents un-encrypted, while Mulder gets a call from his father, who needs to tell him something important...
It *might* be (about) aliens!

Season 2, Episode 24: “Our Town”
Scorch marks again?
A man disappears and a giant scorch mark is left in a field nearby, making Mulder think it’s connected to foxfire and alien abductions. But when Scully and Mulder arrive in town, something strange seems to be centered around the chicken plant where the missing man worked. Is it aliens or is this small town up to something sinister?
Why can’t it ever be both...?

IWTRW: Year One - Unreleased Teaser
One year ago today, August 20th 2020, we released our podcast teaser into the world.
A week later, on August 27th 2020, the musical alpha and omega of IWTRW appeared for the first time in “Episode 0: ‘Meet Tori and Nic’”, but it had been mixed a week before and used in a second audio teaser that was scrapped and used instead in a simple video teaser that was posted to Instagram (and our personal FB pages) on September 3rd 2020.
In honour of year one... the audio is here.
Thanks for listening.
