Hi everybody, a quick note to let you know that work on the next season of accused is underway, pandemic be damned.

And also, I've got something on the side happening.

Sometimes you hear me in this space talking about podcasts by other people that I'm excited about.

Today, I get to tell you about one by me.

I started it in my closet, and now I have a sound booth in my basement.

Subscribers who are a accused patron account already know this,

but when the pandemic started, our newsroom, like many others in the country, was hit with some furloughs.

And when I get panicked, I can't sit still.

So during one of those furloughs, I started recording a bonus pad that I released to Patreon.

I ended up really liking the thing, so it's evolved, and it's launching as crimes of the centuries through the obsessed network.

In it, I researched the hell out of cases from long ago, I interviewed journalists, historians, authors,

even a ghost hunter or two.

The goal is that you get your crime fix, but you also learn history at the same time.

Coming up now is the start of the first episode.

I hope you like it.

but was huge when it happened.

This is crimes of the centuries.
