I'm Hello and welcome to Murder Dictionary podcast. I'm Brianna and that is Courtney.

Hello. With a classic hello. Hi there. How are you? I'm doing good. Courtney is coming down with something, but I'm hanging in there. So we're

packing up on vitamins and water at the moment. I am the research when it comes to the vitamins.

It works, the vitamins I take, but you can't always be Wonder Woman. Yeah. Right? We all get sick.

We're fallible. It's okay. A little bit. It's okay. But we're going to make it through the episode.

Totally.

The first thing that I want to say, before we get to anything else, I have kind of a big announcement.

Some of you may notice that on the new episodes, there's ads.

You're hearing advertisers about every 20 to 30 minutes. We have big exciting news.

We have moved over to a new host network that will be handling ads for us, which it's a very

exciting milestone for a little show like us. So we're just an indie pod. We're just pouring

tons of time and resources into episodes. And this is just a really great move forward for a

small podcast like Murder Dictionary. It's a big deal. I'm excited. So having advertisers will

help us with hosting fees, equipment costs, various technology that we use, website costs, the list goes on. All these expenses that, you know, it's a labor of love and we love doing this. So we have poured a lot into it. The addition of ads will be really helpful to hopefully offset our own expenses

that come out of pocket. So I'm really hoping that you guys as listeners will be happy for us that the

show has this opportunity to grow in this kind of way because we're very excited about it. So I hope that you guys are happy

and on board. Some of you that have been with us for a very long time, hopefully for you guys,

it feels like a great thing too. Does that make sense? I think it makes sense. Yeah.

Like, I don't know. The podcast that I listen to, because I mostly try to listen to indie podcasts. It's not that there's not great huge network podcast out there. It's just that I really want to support these small shows that like us just grew out of, you know, someone's bedroom or something. I love that sort of thing. So whenever I see an indie podcast growing in that way,

I get really happy for them, that they're moving forward, that they're growing, that they're getting

bigger. So hopefully, I hope that you guys feel that way about us. But that said, I'm really trying to

space out the ads so I'm not inundating you with ads. I'm not going to put ads every 10 minutes. That's not what
