Before we begin our show today, I wanted to remind you about our challenge. Maggie and I want to get to 150 ratings on iTunes. We currently have 80, so what we are aiming for is now less than double, yay. But I also wanted to remind you that it only takes a split second if you're listening to us on iTunes to click for that five-star rating.

We have listeners from all over the world, so while this is a big ask, we know that you can do it.

It may take a little longer than last time, but once we get to 150, Maggie and I will do a bonus episode.

Just make sure that you follow us on social media, Coffee and Cases podcast on Facebook,

or at Coffee Cases Podcast on Instagram.

Or, as always, listen in each week to find out when that bonus episode will air.

As Maggie told you last week,

she and I have had a surreal two weeks.

We have had to, as teachers, put all of our content for two weeks,

or more potentially, onto an online platform, communicate changes with our students, and deal

along with the rest of the world, with a lot of uncertainty. In times like these, we are all being

asked to make a lot of changes. We're being asked to keep our distance from others,

to stay inside when possible, to not gather in large groups, and to have faith that we will get

through this. Unfortunately, Maggie and I need a favor from you as well, to bear with us as everything

else around us is changing. For the next few weeks, until we can return to normal routines, we will be

recording separately, I from my home and Maggie from hers. We appreciate you Slew Town so much

and want to continue to provide you with cases. After all, our goal is continued hope and closure

for these cases, and especially in times like these, we want to continue in our small

way of helping families to keep their loved family member in our hearts and minds.

Thank you for bearing with us and for understanding.

We care about you.

Stay together, united in the human spirit, even if not physically, and stay safe.
