Hey there, it's Shannon Ballard.

When you listen to Southern Mysteries, you're supporting an independent podcast that's made possible by the support of patrons who help me continue to share these stories like you'll hear today.

Southern Mysteries is staffed by one person, by me.

I cover it all, the research of every story, writing the episode, producing it, takes a lot of

time, a lot of resources, and that is why I ask you to help

support Southern Mysteries, because I want to continue to be able to share these stories that I think

are so important, whether it's historical true crime that's never been solved

or a chapter in history that you just didn't learn much about,

if anything at all, when you're in school.

If you're passionate about history and historical true crime, you can join me in continuing to tell these stories when you join me on Patreon.

You can hear ad free episodes there, and you'll also get to hear the first three seasons of Southern Mysteries.

And I always remind people, the show sounded so different back then,

but it's a part of the history of this show.

It's definitely changed a lot since we launched back in 2017.

And when you join me on Patreon, you can also join at a level where you have access to

a lot of bonus content.

The Archives of Patron exclusive Podcast through the years, and the new patron exclusive

monthly podcast, Audacious, Tales of Scandalous and Shocking Crimes in American History. You can learn all about supporting. There are two

tiers available to join in at the level that works for you and it's easy to opt in and

out. I always remind people of that because our financial situations change all the time.

You can dive in yourself, check it out, and if you join today, you can start listening right

away and hear episodes you haven't heard before. Check it out and join at Patreon.com
