| 0:21.6 | Hello, it's Richard McLean Smith here. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that took part in our survey. It's been an immense help. The survey is now closed, and I'll be contacting the 10 winners of a signed copy of the unexplained book in due course. Keep an ear out for some big announcements coming in the next few months, as I look to launch my new unexplained newsletter, as well as a whole new companion show where I'll be discussing |
