This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.

The basic package provides ad-free episodes, early bird releases, released immediately upon completion, and bonus episodes, like the upcoming Human Monsters series straight from the can, which consists of a panel of ex-cons sharing their experiences with prison culture.

The standard package includes everything in the basic package, but with a free monthly copy of the Miss Anthropology E magazine, and a monthly entry into a contest to win humor merch, like a t-shirt.

Then there's the ultimate package you receive all previously mentioned benefits, and you get to appear with me, Morgan Rector, on a monthly video panel, Q&A, and discussion, where you can ask me questions, and we can discuss true crime.

You can get one month off your first subscription by using the discount code Monsters.

You can find the link to the subscription page in the descriptor notes of this episode.

Thank you and enjoy the show.

My story didn't end that frightful night.

This attack on me physically and mentally lingered for years.

I'm Amanda Bedard and I'm Jane's life coach and co-host of Invisible Tears.
