These Stories Are Not RealTake The Money'And there are three voices in your head. Yes. No. And me, who is of course really just you but, you know, semantics.'
Take the Money is an at-times self-involved and convoluted Season Finale, featuring a bag of money and some very external internal conflict. Always listen to the 'Yes' voice, I reckon. It's the one with the fireworks.
Thanks so much for listening to any episode of the show. Thanks as always to consulting producer Helen Wolfenden and resident artist Nic Lelli (@nicsketches on instagram)

Herein lies an occasionally depraved but largely whimsical first-person account of the gruesome murder of Kevin Cassidy. There's a homicide, an artistic showdown, and rainbow electricity. We get what we get and we don't get upset.
