It's always the not knowing that lingers in unseen corners, waiting for the moment when you think

you've moved on or that your heart has finally toughened so the pain isn't so debilitating.

this week. I am so excited to be collaborating this week with Sam from Key to the Case podcast. Welcome, Sam.

Hi, thank you, Allison. Yeah. Would you mind telling us just a little bit about yourself and about your podcast? Yeah, definitely. So as you said, my name is Sam. I started an

unsolved true crime podcast called Key to the Case with my fiance, Sean, about four months ago,

so we're still really new. But the presentation is similar to coffee in cases. Each week,
