    523 Sleeping in Light (End-of-Season-4 Version)

    Andy and Van recorded this pod episode at the end of their coverage of Season 4--the spot where the episode was actually filmed, prior to the fifth season being picked up by TNT. Just as the original TV episode sat on the shelf for a year, awaiting the end of Season 5, this pod episode has sat on the shelf, available only to our Patrons, until now! Among many other things, they discuss how differently this episode felt, being watched at the point in the series where it was written and originally intended to be aired.
