0:00.0	Hello, everyone and welcome back to National Park After Dark. I'm Danielle. And I'm Cassie.
0:24.7	And if you are a long-time listener, you're probably thinking, today's supposed to be trail tales.
0:29.9	What is happening? Should I be afraid? Should I be concerned? And the answer is no.
0:35.3	No, you don't need to be afraid or concerned. We're just
0:38.7	switching things up a little bit this week. And we thought that it would be really fun. One,
0:42.7	we have a really special guest today that we will jump into. But we thought that it would be
0:47.4	fun because we're over four years into this now to kind of do a backtrack of some of our
0:53.0	favorite episodes that we've covered on the podcast and do like little backtrack of some of our favorite episodes that we've covered on the
0:54.7	podcast and do like little recaps of some of our favorite mysteries and stories that have

1:29.0	like a little flashback episode and have a little something new sprinkled in. And we just figured,
1:34.4	you know, last week we already kind of did a trail tales with our pod boyfriend's tooth and
1:40.1	claw. So if you're missing trail tales and missed last week's episode, it's right there for you.
1:45.4	Yeah. Go check that one out. But for this one, if you are a true crime fan, then you have probably
1:51.8	heard of the Generation Wide podcast and Aaron and Justin. Well, today we have Aaron on the podcast.
1:58.5	The Generation Wide podcast released its first episode way back in 2012,
2:02.8	which truly makes it one of the pioneers in the true crime genre, but also podcasting in general.
2:09.1	I mean, they're creeping up on their 700th episode. That's a lot of episodes. We're not even
