Hello listeners, I'm K.A. Stats, the writer and creator of Don't Mind.

First, though the caught-off date is fast approaching, there's still time to receive your own exclusive Grot Chateau coin.

To do so, support our small team on Patreon, and we'll link that info in the show notes.

But today, we'd like to bring something to your attention.

As creators of this show, we go to

extreme lengths to bring you the authentic soundscapes you'll hear. As such, the sounds of nature,

wind, and ambiance we use are largely comprised of real field recordings. These are recordings

made with studio recorders, handhelds, cell phones, and at times even hydrophones, whatever it takes to

capture the right sound. Our search for authentic audio can mean that we collaborate with

specialized groups, and for Sealskin Rock, we're proud to have worked with Dr. Corey Lausin, the director

of bat conservation at Wildlife Conservation Society, Canada. Dr. Lausen has been traveling North America

to record the sounds and songs of bats, particularly silver-haired bats, in an effort to better

understand their behavioral ecology and to further conservation efforts. Distinct from echolocation,

she and her colleagues hope to learn the meaning behind the silver-haired

bats songs, and the group has generously given us permission to use select recordings from their work.

You can find a link to their report and to the website for Wildlife Conservation Society Canada

in our show notes to learn more about the amazing work being done by WCS Canada. We hope you appreciate and enjoy the

small details we add to our show. And on that topic, it's time to get started.

I've got a homicide in Springfield's Northwoods by Mile Marker 16. You are now entering Springfield.

Where's the body?

Off the side of the ditch down there. You know, surrounded by all this crime scene tape.

Hello? Am I dead?
