Summary

No new episode this week, so in celebration of the release of The Tortured Poet's Department, Taylor Swift's new album, and the song, "Florida," we're re-releasing the episode on Richard Hoagland, the Indianapolis family man who walked away from his wife and kids in 1993 and decided to re-invent himself in-- you guessed it-- Florida.

---

Richard Hoagland was a successful family man who lived with his wife and two sons in a suburb outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. On February 10, 1993, he called his wife from work and told her he was sick and heading to the emergency room. He never came home again. For over 23 years, his wife Linda and their two sons wondered about his fate. But in 2016, a bizarre story emerged that proved Richard Hoagland wasn’t who they or anyone else thought he was.

1:33.5	Hey everyone, it's Kona. I just wanted to hop on real quick and apologize for their not being a
1:38.9	new episode this week. COVID got me. I got got got. If you follow us on TikTok, I posted a couple of videos from my basement
1:48.5	where I was quarantining. And I really tried to get an episode together, but I just, my brain and
1:55.6	my fingers and the rest of my body were not cooperating with each other. So nothing new this week. But what we did

2:09.9	tortured poets department anthology. It's 31 songs. And while I had insomnia, I was listening to it.
2:17.5	And one of the songs actually reminded me of an episode that we've already done.
2:24.4	And it's one of my favorite episodes because it is a little bit lighter than a lot of the ones that we do. And it's very unlike every other

2:45.7	is the case of Richard Hoagland. And the song that I'm referring to is the song, Florida. Now, I'm going to
2:53.4	play you a little bit of Ms. Swift herself, talking about the inspiration behind the song,
