CHT | S1E3: First Persecutions and Fall of Jerusalem (Remastered)
I have come back and fixed this episode second by second. There was a massive microphone failure the night this was recorded that had massive screeches and static. Since this was before this show was ever a podcast, I never went back and checked. Sorry for any hearing damage! Thanks for those who brought it to my attention. While I had to cut some things out as a few sections were not recoverable, this new cut should be clean and about 99% of the original recording. - Timothy Easley
