After a very long Season 2, we come to the final bonus episodes, a 2-part series focusing on the people behind the scenes, the unsung heroes of the technical quality of the show. In Part 2 we meet Cory Choy, the audio guru from Silver Sound in NYC, who talks about his brush-ups with the Kushners, a Pokemon treasure he gave up freely, and of course, the ins and outs of audio cleaning and restoration. We also visit the home of Joe Cali, the narrator for the podcast, where we discuss how it works, what he does, and his famous Jurassic Park commercial.

After a very long Season 2, we come to the final bonus episodes, a 2-part series focusing on the people behind the scenes, the unsung heroes of the technical quality of the show. In Part 1 we meet Bobby Thomas, the audio engineer who helps clean and mix much of the dialogue. He shares his stories as a radio DJ, a voice actor and audio editor when it was still reel-to-reel. And we interview Tyler Kubisty, the lead tech supervisor who sat at the board for 57/60 episodes, and had a huge hand in creating the content from the very beginning.
