Hello and welcome to the first official episode of Sword and Scale Daily.

I'm your host, Ryan Williams.

It's Monday, November 18th, and this is your Daily True Crime Report.

Wow, we finally made it to our official release.

This is crazy.

I want to take a moment to thank Mike Bude and the rest of the Incongroovy team for making

And a special thank you to the fans and listeners who reached out with feedback and suggestions.

They've been heard and are very much appreciated.

Now onto the show.

identification is underway.
