Before we get started I want to direct your attention down to the show notes where you will see a link for a survey.

This survey isn't one of those demographic surveys. This is totally different.

You know that I travel a lot to see listeners. I've gone to

CrimeCon in London. I've seen people all over the United States. I've been to

Toronto and an opportunity was presented to me instead of traveling to you I could travel with you.

Trova pairs groups with itineraries in countries around the world but what I need to know from my

audience is one what kind of police would you like to go and to what's your

ballpark budget?

The survey is not a commitment to go,

but it does mean you will be one of the first to hear

when the trip does open up.

And we can go literally anywhere.

Why talk to me in a convention center

when we can hang out at Machu Picchu?

Or at a wine tasting in Argentina,

or really wherever you can think of hanging out and talking about

podcasting true crime and just getting to know each other in a small group

setting we could go there. The survey takes practically no time to

fill out it's just a couple of questions to get an idea of what people are interested in.

So if you could fill that out if you would even mildly be interested in going and

hopefully we will be able to put together a trip that people want to go on. One day in April of 2010, Ali Loeser talked her mom into letting her walk to work after school.

She was 16 and excited about her new job.
