Hey, it's Brianna, with a quick announcement before we get to the show.

I feel really terrible that there's been such a delay since our last episode, but unfortunately,

Kelly has not been able to make it to our recording sessions for a while.

She moved and started school, and she's got a bunch of other stuff going on that's kept her extremely busy.

I've done my best to work around her schedule and be flexible and accommodating, but she still

really hasn't been able to find the time to meet up. And it really breaks my heart not to be

able to put out consistent episodes every single week. Since she hasn't been able to get

together to record, I really wanted to find some solution to make sure we can keep up with putting

out weekly episodes. So I'm going to be recording with guests to fill in whenever Kelly is

busy and can't make it.

Hopefully, this will give Kelly some freedom and extra time to balance the podcast with her schedule while still making it possible for us to put out episodes every week.

Of course, my hope is that Kelly's schedule will calm down and she'll be able to get back

into a regular recording schedule soon. I know she has the best intentions of making it to meet up,

but in the meantime, when she's busy, doing episodes with guests on the weeks that she can't make

it feels like the best way to keep

a consistent schedule. I know it's a bit of a change, but since I've always done the vast

majority of the research and the writing, the information about the cases will stay relatively

the same. And my feeling is that having a guest is kind of exciting because they

will bring in a different perspective and some new energy and I think it'll be kind of fun.

I really enjoyed recording the episode this week and I really hope you guys like it too.

All right, I'm going to get out of here and get on with the

episode. So thank you so much for listening. I'm I'm I'm
