Across the UK and around the world on the internet my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

Good to have you here we're going to get straight into it very very soon but just to do my thank yous for this month and they start with me thanking you if you've emailed this show.

What I would say to you however you're accessing this show please go to the website www.theunexplained.tv

and send me an email it will take 30 seconds to a minute of your time and it means a very great deal to me.

Now as I said last time and the time before this show is picking up listeners exponentially and the last month has been a really really good month for the show.

We now have listeners in all sorts of far-flung places I am sitting here now on a windy and stormy day in London at the beginning of what we are supposed to be called in springtime but doesn't look anything like it.

And I know that I'm talking to people in places like Kazan City in the Philippines hello in Beijing in Sao Paulo Brazil in Yellowknife in Canada welcome to you I know it's still frozen and cold up there but thank you very much for being part of this show.

Right across the United States from Santa Barbara all the way across up to Maine and down to Florida we have listeners there and of course all across Europe in Amsterdam in Copenhagen in Moscow

and right across the United Kingdom to so thank you very much and I will again say and I'm sorry for becoming a bore about it.

This will be the last time I'll say it drop the show an email and tell me you're there.

Now the emails that I've had in the last few weeks have been interesting ones because not only have they suggested some good things for me to do on the show.

They've also come up with some ideas for funding it because you know at the moment this is a free webcast and for a whole variety of reasons I can't continue to do it like this for very much longer

because I'm not making any money out of it and there are costs associated with the show dada dada dada and those things have to be met.

So some of you have suggested donations setting up a donation section of the website.

Now that's something I'm considering but there are also some other things I've got in mind so we'll just see how it goes.

At the moment this one is free and the next one will probably be free and we'll work out some kind of formula but in the meantime any suggestions you have let me know.

Thank you to Martin. Martin I haven't forgotten about you for the great theme tune that we've been using since the beginning of the unexplained.

Martin is a music man and lives in the English Midlands.

Sent me completely unsolicited a theme tune for the show and we developed it together and he said you can go ahead and use this for as long as you like.

So I've got a great theme tune that I think is better than the one that I had on radio when I did the show on radio for a year and a half.

And Martin gave it to me so Martin I'm aware of what you did and I still think if you thank you very much indeed.

Now let's get to the subject for this show.
