Hi there, another quick update with apologies.

Despite my best efforts to return with new episodes by the end of April, I need a bit more time

due to factors beyond my control.

I touched on it in the March update, but last year I had a number of extra commitments,

advocacy work and opportunities to make a difference alongside producing podcast episodes.

It was an intense year balancing at all and I wasn't able to take a publishing break until

February. This created some unavoidable flow-on effects. I've been doing the very best I can

during this break and while I've made considerable progress getting ahead on the new season,

some new challenges have come up that I've also had to navigate. Sickness is one of those challenges.

I love making Canadian true crime. It's still my passion project and I'm still the primary

writer, in most cases the only writer. I put a huge amount of care, attention and energy

into every episode, from the choice of case to the way it's presented and the intention behind it.

And I do wish I could be more cavalier about the whole thing and get a simple episode out for

quick content, but that's just not my thing. It's important to me to present these cases with

accuracy, depth and context. The stakes are too high and there are actual legal ramifications.

Rushing the work would compromise the very thing that makes it meaningful. I know that many

of you will understand, and there's some of you who will be disappointed and

frustrated.

We've been receiving your emails, and I've also seen the backlash when other true crime

podcasts announce extended breaks.

There is a lot of burnout and fatigue out there.

All I can say is this.
