Dear listener, thank you for tuning in today. I have something a little different for you.

Instead of a usual tapes from the Darkside episode, I have a special compilation and celebration of this holiday that we call Valentine's Day.

14 stories to celebrate February 14th. Today we'll have seven and tomorrow will also play

seven stories and there's even one from yours truly, myself Tizi. If you hear a story that you

like, search for the podcast name in your app and subscribe to that show.

All the names are in the show notes, and there will also be a link to each of those shows.

And now here is our host of the My Bloody Valentine Special, Mr.'s good to see you.

I'm Shane Waters, the host of Fow Play Crime series.

And tonight on this special Valentine's Day, two-part episode, I'm going to ask you the age-old question,

will you be my Valentine? If you find it agreeable, we will explore the history behind this

romantic day, and 14 podcaster friends of mine will be joining us throughout our trip

to share crime stories of love gone wrong.

So, what do you say?

Welcome to My Bloody Valentine.

Here, let's take a seat in this restaurant.

I had to make reservations way ahead of time to get us in.

The atmosphere is really nice, the candlelighting and romantic music.

While we wait for our food, and my first friend will show up with our first story,

I'll fill you in on some details about Valentine's Day. It of course occurs

every February 14th, and candy flowers and gifts are often exchanged in the name of St. Valentine.

Oh, now I really want some candy chocolates.

Oh, hey Kristen.
