0:00.0	This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.
0:30.0	Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?
0:38.5	I'm doing fantastic today Tim. The guests that we have on provide such a wonderful insight into why
0:44.7	we listen to these true crime podcasts, even why we talk about true crime, but real quick,
0:50.2	I want to talk about something else. I want to talk about you and how you're doing. How are you?
0:55.1	Thanks for asking Lance. I'm doing great and I'm excited to share this conversation that we had
1:00.7	with Professor Melissa Tackett Gibson. She is a professor at the School of Public Affairs at the
1:06.9	University of Colorado Denver and we met her at Obsessed Fest in October of 2022 when she approached
1:14.7	us at the meet and greet and started speaking about a survey that she was doing that was trying to
1:21.2	get some data on true crime podcast listeners and her approach is really interesting because she
1:27.7	herself is a fan of true crime podcasts. She's a huge fan of the Obsessed Network shows. I mean,
1:33.2	she's an even larger fan obviously of our shows and she's approaching it from those two perspectives.
1:39.6	Someone who is performing a survey as a professor at the University of Colorado and someone who's
1:47.2	a fan and she understands both avenues in discovering why this is such a cultural phenomenon.
1:53.2	And the early data that she's receiving is really interesting and we're definitely going to have her
1:58.3	back on to discuss that data when the survey is complete, but you can take this survey and in
2:04.0	fact, we encourage you to. There is a link in the show notes. It's always fun to take surveys,
2:09.1	takes maybe 10 minutes at your time, give it some thought and answer honestly and we're going to
2:14.1	get some really interesting data back. And if you're watching this on YouTube, there's a QR
2:18.2	code that is in the corner there. Feel free to scan that with your phone and that will link you
2:22.8	directly to the survey as well. And as good as this episode is it does have ads. So if you are
2:28.0	thinking about listening to this without the ads, I would direct you to my partner here Tim.
