We finally arrived at our high holy season.

New episodes begin September 15th and roll through October.

We seem to have shifted to a chaotic seasonal model for the show and I intend to release

six or so installments this chaotic season.

In addition to a couple traditional neighbor interviews, I'm happy to finally tell Biddy's

story.

In the case that spooked her and me, so badly, it's taken time to wrap our heads around

it, enough to share it, and it'll take several installments to tell, which should be fun

slash scary.

Now one day in late August, after a particularly stressful move and weeks of summer momming,

I had a random idea.

The intros and outros to get the episodes, while necessary at the time of release, feel

bulky and clunky years later.

So what if I took them out, cleaned up the audio a bit and re-released the clean versions

to Patreon, so listeners could pop right into the stories without all the fluff.

To clarify, the originals will remain in all their brilliant messiness on the podcast

feed wherever you listen, while these fluff free versions will live on Patreon.

Sounds great, right?

And it started out great.

Predictably, it swiftly went off the rails.

I had the first four episodes cleaned up and uploaded on to Patreon, when I realized

I couldn't find the original file for number 5, but then 6 wasn't there either, or 7.
