| 0:00.0 | Welcome into the best in True Crime Podcasting. This is True Crime Tuesday. I'm your host, Tim Dennis. |
| 0:27.3 | Have a very interesting show today, folks. You know, when we first started this segment, it'll be, oh my gosh, now I have to count back 12 years ago. True Crime Tuesday started. We had a goal in mind. That goal was to marry the paranormal and true crime. |
| 0:40.5 | Well, folks, I have a third thing that's been thrown in over the years, and that's this. |
| 0:45.7 | When you've contacted me over the years, you've said to me, Tim, you know what? I'm going to be in your town. |
| 0:51.3 | What kind of things can I see when I'm in your town? What kind of paranormal tours can I take? |
| 0:56.1 | What kind of true crime tours can I take? What sites can I see that I can connect myself, not only to |
| 1:01.6 | the show, but to these real life things that you're talking about on the show. And a lot of times |
| 1:06.8 | I'll scratch my head and go, oh, God, and I'll stammer a lot. That'll happen. |
| 1:12.6 | And then I'll find a couple of things and say, well, you can do this, this and this. And I'll |
| 1:15.7 | feel bad because I feel like I've let you down because I've got, well, let's face it, I've |

| 1:27.8 | or even put them together in a nice little suggestion or tour for you to do when you're in my |
| 1:32.2 | city, much less any other city in the nation because a lot of you do ask me about other cities |
| 1:36.6 | in the nation and I have traveled quite a bit. I ramble on for this reason. I have a guest |
| 1:42.1 | today that's managing to put together an entire series of these |
| 1:47.3 | exact same tours. Not only that combined true crime, but also a paranormal aspect as well. |
| 1:54.3 | Folks, when I saw that this book is soon to be available, I busted. It was like, oh my God, |
| 2:00.6 | and I had to get a hold of a copy of this. |
| 2:04.1 | And I had to, I had to first of all, read it and then get this guest onto the show |
| 2:09.6 | and talk about this book that's out here soon in just a few weeks. |
| 2:16.4 | It's available for pre-order, by the way. |
| 2:18.2 | It's called Vacations Can Be Murder, a True Crime Lovers Travel Guide. |
