Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers.

And I'm Britt.

And we're both coming to you today from vacation.

And that's so weird.

No such thing as vacations for podcasters who have a weekly show,

Britt, you're in California with your family.

And I'm here in Arizona.

Yeah, and I'm not sure where you are,

but I'm in a closet of a guest room in the Airbnb where we are.

I am in my friend's guest room.

So yeah, it's like, I've got a really unique setup.

We should probably take pictures.

Yeah, definitely.

So I made a trip across the country,

and it's been so awesome because I've been doing meetups along the way

in places that we've been stopping.

They've looked like so much fun.

Yeah, and it's something new that we're trying for our Patreon fan club members.

And it has been so cool to meet Crime Junkies all over the US.

I've done meetups in Kansas City, Denver, Phoenix,

and thank you to everyone who's come out,

stood in line for crazy amounts of time to talk to me about true crime
