Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world on the internet by webcast

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

I hope everything is good with you. I think I was going into my movie trailer voice there.

This is the unexplained apologies for that. I think it's just the time of year and the
