Rolling with Difficulty

Latest Episodes:

Open and Shut Season 2 Episode 8: "Rotten to the Core" Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

Content Warning: Fungi, Disease, Medical Malpractice, Austin is Gross (Again)

The detectives of Open and Shut may be reeling from retaliation from the Fortune's Wheel, but they are professionals, and they have a case. They open investigation into the new mysterious disease on the streets of Sigil, and quickly find the source may be more deeper and more sinister then some rogue flies...

Producer Note: We had to re-record the second half of this episode due to major technical difficulties (the greatest foe any podcaster can face!) Though Sophia rolled pretty high on her "clean up audio" check, there may still be some noticeable glitches. Thank you for listening along anyway and we hope you enjoy this adventure!
