This episode of Cognitive Disnance is brought to you by our patrons, you fucking rock.

Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended.

The explicit tag is there for a reason.

So before Tom introduces the show, I wanted to talk a little bit about what we recorded here.

We had a gentleman by the name of Scott Reader came in.

He has a starting a new podcast called Suspect Convictions.

We were contacted by him and he came in to talk to us.

Initially we started talking a little bit about the news, but we mostly talked about his podcast.

It was so fascinating, we just kept the whole interview.

Just so you know, this interview talks about a murder that he reported on 26 years ago.

That's most of what the interview is going to be about.

There's a couple of pretty graphic depictions of what he saw at the crime scene.

So if it makes you squeamish, you might want to skip it.

It's a little departure from what we normally do, but we thought it was worthwhile.

So we're releasing it as a Thursday show.

We hope you enjoy it. We'll be back on Monday with another full show.

Recording live from Glory Hole Studios in Chicago.

This is Cognitive Disnance.

Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way.

We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence.

Too many topics that makes the news, makes it big or makes us mad.

It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome mat.
