Rogue Tyger: Wrapping Up Story Threads with “The End Run”

We did a whole host of bonus segments for our Patrons this past summer that originally played on WERA between episodes of Rogue Tyger.

This is technically the bonus segment that would have played during the 2023 re-broadcast of Rogue Tyger, going between part 4 and part 5 of “The End Run.” The only thing is: those episodes were long enough so we didn’t need a bonus segment… but then we thought about it and decided we needed to “complete the set” as it were.

In the segment, writer/director Bjorn Munson talks about how “The End Run” was structured to give what is hopefully a satisfying conclusion of the plot through the first two seasons as well as giving a few ticklers for seasons to come.
