WHERE IT ALL BEGAN . . .
Before there was ever a first episode of Ramblin’ Rita Reads, there was this. It was created during the lockdowns of 2020 when live shows were not an option. We weren’t sure what we were doin’ or how to do it, but we managed to get it done. It may be a bit dated by today’s standards, but considering the tools we had at the time, we were very happy with the result.
