At Radio Detectives and check us out on Instagram, Instagram.com slash great detective. In a moment, we're going to get into today's episode of Follow Lands.

But first I want to talk to you about our new advertising plans for small business. One thing about Follow Lands is that as a series, it helped out smaller businesses as well.

While fans of old-time radio recall the ads for companies like Maxwell House or Anchor Hawking or Petrie Wine, a lot of smaller regional businesses and regional brands found it a challenge to get on the radio.

Sure, they could sponsor a local weather report or a DJ, but people were listening to radio dramas. How could they sponsor that? Well, Zim boosted Follow Lands along with other programs.

These could be syndicated to radio stations and local regional sponsors could get a chance to reach our listeners to radio dramas.

That's kind of what we're doing with our advertising. There are a lot of large businesses getting into podcast advertising. I know there are many smaller businesses represented in our audience.

You go to advertising.greatdetectives.net. They have a couple of different options to reach our audience with your business idea or book either through sponsoring an episode or having your ad inserted into the program.

The insertion ends we even do have the option of targeting your ad to a specific geographical area to give you the best impact about the options over at advertising.greatdetectives.net.

Yes, Mr. Van. I want you to take some notes on the White Willow murder case, Miss Williams. Make a copy for me and send a copy to Mr. Markham, please.

I always send a copy to the district attorney, Mr. Van. Good. Oh, before I begin, there'll be a Miss Sarah Payton and a see me in a few minutes.

Yes. She telephone for an appointment. When she arrives, ask her to come right in. Will you please? She's out in the outer office now, Mr. Van. She said her appointment wasn't told noon, so she preferred to wait. She said.

Well, ask her to come in now. Will you please, Miss Williams. The notes can wait. Certainly, Mr. Van. Miss Seconder. Miss Payton, would you come in, please? Oh, thank you very much. How did you, Mr. Van? I'm Sarah Payton.

Oh, hello, Miss Payton. Have please sit down. All right, Miss Williams, please. Yes, Mr. Van.

Now, Miss Payton, what can I do for you? For one thing, Mr. Van's, you can look at me.

Did you ever see a more ordinary looking woman in your life? I beg your pardon?

Well, I'm sensible about it, Mr. Van's. I should be. After all, I'm not a child. I'm 34 now.

I don't see how. How that affects you or how it can be important? Well, it is. Believe me, it is. I've got to tell you some facts first.

Please, listen. Of course. Well, when I was a child, I was just a child. I wasn't as pretty as little girls generally are. I was just a child, very plain child.
