Summary

On a chilly evening in early February 2010, a group of friends gathered around the table at a restaurant in a French ski resort. They had been out on the slopes all day and were warming up with mulled wine by the fire. A cell phone buzzed, and one of the friends looked down and frowned. They excused themselves and stepped away from the table to talk. When they came back, they were pale and their hands were shaking. The others asked what was wrong, but they just shook their head and grabbed their coat. They had to leave, right now. Someone they cared about very much needed their help.

Hello, fans of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious. I'm here today to tell you all about what it actually

0:05.2

means now that we've moved over to the Sirius XM family. Big picture, it means we are going to make

0:11.0

more content for you. Right now, you get one YouTube video a week on Saturday. Well, what we're going to

0:16.4

do now is we're going to have the Saturday upload be the same, but then also the Mr. Ballin podcast,

0:21.7

well, we've begun already filming those episodes like a YouTube video. So that's a second piece

0:27.5

of content every week. Then there's two other shows that you guys don't even know about yet,

0:32.7

which means on any given week you could have up to four new video pieces of content on the Mr. Ballin channel.

0:40.1

And also, all these pieces of content will double as podcasts as well. This new content schedule

0:45.5

is going to start early next year. Also, there's one other thing I want to clarify, which is the

0:50.7

state of Mr. Ballin's medical mysteries and redacted.

0:59.2

Those shows were created in collaboration with Wondry, but now we're partnered with Sirius,

1:03.9

and so we're not going to be making any new episodes of either of those shows.

1:08.2

For now, if you want to hear my podcast episodes one week early and ad-free,

1:13.2

make sure to subscribe to SiriusXM Podcast Plus on Apple Podcasts or visit SiriusXM.com slash podcast plus to listen with Spotify or another app of your choice.

1:20.1

Keep on the lookout for more announcements in the coming weeks.

1:22.9

Thank you.

On a cold evening in early February of 2010, a group of friends gathered around the table at a restaurant in a French ski resort.

1:32.7

They had spent their whole day out on the slope skiing and snowboarding, and they were now warming up by the fire with some warm drinks.

1:39.6

Just then, one of their cell phones buzzed, and when this person looked down at their phone, they immediately frowned.

1:46.0

Then they excused themselves from the group and stepped away to go talk.

1:50.1

When this person came back from that conversation, they were visibly pale and their hands were shaking.

1:56.2

And so the others who noticed this, they asked them like what was wrong.
