Hi there, thank you so much for tuning in during what is an unprecedented time of global uncertainty in our lifetime.

At the time of recording, it's been 10 days since it was announced that all public schools here in Ontario will close for at least a few weeks and were expecting an extension.

Straightaway, my family decided to

batten down the hatches, stay home and do our part to slow down the spread of this virus.

It's been a weird year for me. In February, when the virus was just something we were

watching on the news from afar, not something that was happening

to us. My family and I decided that the time had come to make a decision. Life had reached a level of

chaos we didn't like and something had to go. It was either my day job or the podcast. Just a month

later, here I am winding down my last few weeks at my day job

before I transition to full-time podcaster and now reluctant homeschooler. The world is an

entirely different place now. We don't know when things will return to normal. In fact, we don't

even know if there will be a normal again.

What a time this is in history. My husband and I are grateful to have jobs where we can work from

home and employers who are happy to let us do it. But there are many of you that can't and don't.

And it's now that we find out who the essential people in our communities

really are. And I'll tell you, it's not true crime podcasters. So thank you to the frontline workers

who are making daily sacrifices so that our society doesn't completely fall apart. We're all in this

together now. So wherever you are listening from,

I wish you and your loved ones good health, physically and mentally, as we all navigate this

next period of uncertainty. And please, please stop stockpiling toilet paper.

Turning to True Crime now, thank you so much for the great feedback on the Richard

Olin series.
