PRESERVED BY A FRIEND OF THE SHOW
Thank you, James Scharff.
These recordings were missing from the C-Realm’s playable archive. James kept copies and sent them home. Thanks to his generosity, eight C-Realm specials and two Full Circle talks are available here again, with their original artwork and episode notes.
To everyone who has saved a recording, shared an episode, or helped keep this work alive: this is what preservation looks like.
