REMASTER NOTES
The first four episodes of Have Monster, Will Travel was performed before a live audience as a part of Serials! at Know Theatre of Cincinnati. As originally staged, the second half of this episode was performed in a back-and-forth split-scene style between Render and Professor Bunion, and Riley and the Paladin. This served the staged version better than the audio drama. In this remaster, those split scenes have been recombined into a smoother story.
This remaster also includes an expanded sound design and tighter pacing.

REMASTER NOTES
Originally, this episode was presented as two separate episodes. Episode 1 (0:00-10:08) told the story of Render starting his podcast and Riley deciding to quit her job. Episode 2 told the story of Bronden Fennimore's estate sale. The end result was that the pilot felt tonally different from the style and genre of the rest of the series.
In this remaster, an abridged version of episode 1 is being presented along side the entirety of episode 2.
This remaster also includes an expanded sound design and tighter pacing.
