Hey guys, thanks for tuning in for this episode of 13, and happy new year.

Before we go any further, as always, I want to thank our new patrons.

James Welsh, Jerblane, Ashley Palmer, Julia Benson,

Zach, Monk Funks, Brandy Reyes, and Mo Hellbender.

Thank you guys so much for your support.

Our patrons get a lot more 13, like extra stories each month,

including over two years worth of past bonus episodes, updates on the show,

merch, and access to a patron-only discord server, where you can chat about the show

or whatever else is on your mind. Our patrons also never have to listen to ads, and they are the best people in the universe. So if you want to be

part of the Pod fam check us out on Patreon. We'll put a link in the show notes.

Before I get into this episode, we want to tell you about a show that we think you'll like.

Hollow Sky is a journey through the paranormal with hosts Kyle and Steve.

They cover everything from hauntings and

cryptid sightings to alien abductions and conspiracies.

You'll hear listener experience stories too,

and who knows.

Maybe you could be that listener talking about your own experience.

With four releases each week, there's going to be something for everyone.

Search for Hollow Sky, that's H-O-L-O-S-K-Y, or click the link in our show notes.

This month's episode is Strange Light, written and narrated by Ian Epperson, with Kayla Thameshive. But before we get into the episode, here's a message

from our sponsors. It's probably a food box.

The thing that nobody tells you about holiday hosting in a haunted house is just how much time it takes.
