Hey, listeners, it's me, Rodney Barnes from Run Full, and I've got a special new episode for you today.

In fact, my friends at Ballin Studios have been working on a whole new podcast, we're excited for you to finally hear.

This new show is called Redacted Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana, and is now available wherever you get your podcast. Each week on

Redacted, you can expect to hear stories about covert experiments, secret operations, and

deception within the world's most powerful institutions. Luke and the Ballin team have spent

months researching these totally true and thoroughly twisted tails, guaranteed

to keep you on the edge of your seat. Redacted as a perfect fit for a world of strange,

dark, and mysterious. I just listened to an episode, and it's absolutely fascinating. If you're

into that deep dive into the shadowy side of history, I can't recommend

Redacted Declassified Mysteries Enough. I'm about to play you a full episode from

Redacted Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana. And while you're listening, be sure to

follow the show on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcast.

For ad-free access, you can join Wondry Plus in the Wondery app or Apple Podcasts.
