0:00.0	I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance. How are you today?
0:32.4	I'm doing fantastic today, Tim. We got quite an episode coming up, quite a cool conversation, a historical crime that's
0:40.3	happened in basically our backyards here in Massachusetts, super famous, super historical,
0:46.8	and we have a return guest who we both really enjoy, excellent storyteller, and probably one of the
0:53.1	best researchers that we have.
0:55.3	He has a lot of details about this particular crime that you don't typically hear anywhere else.
0:59.5	But Tim, I don't typically hear anywhere else how you're doing.

1:55.2	Lots of controversy, lots of support, lots of people who were anti-Lizzy Borden, who thought she was guilty.
