an amuse-bouche of sorts... Clusters of episodes preceded by ellipsis (…) denote potential mid-story progressions from which the listener can choose. For maximum temporal continuity, enjoy one episode from each cluster before moving on to the next unmarked episode. For example, the initial continuous progression for one listener might be once upon a time, head home, and then first encounter, while another might choose for the story to progress as once upon a time, take the lead, and then first encounter.
