    I listen to a bunch of paranormal podcasts and some true crime podcasts. I wanted something different and I believe I heard some podcast plug this one. Long story short, stumbled on it and had an aha moment. Happy I did. Fortunately/unfortunately, depending on viewpoint, I’m now subscribed. Great work. You miss all the shots you don’t take so try it!
