| 0:00.0 | As a member of this weirdo family, I value your input, and while I try to keep up with the emails, online messages, and comments I receive, one thing I've not really done is ask your opinions about certain things I offer in the podcast. Do you like the murder noir episodes? What about the old-time radio stuff? Does the more comedic Mind-of-marler uploads even belong in the podcast? |
| 0:22.5 | If you could change one thing about Weird Darkness, what would it be? Take the survey at |
| 0:26.8 | weirddarkness.com slash survey and let me know what you think about what I do and how I do it. |
| 0:32.6 | It'll only take about two minutes, but it'll be invaluable to me as a creator to find out what you like and don't |
| 0:38.4 | like, what you'd like to see more of, or less of. Visit weirddarkness.com slash survey. That's |
| 0:44.7 | weirddarkness.com slash survey. If you've ever wanted to learn more about stories I share in the |

| 0:58.3 | Several times per week, you'll get an email that not only includes the audio player with a recent episode, but a deep dive article of that same subject, going more in depth than what |
| 1:03.8 | you heard in the podcast. I also post numerous articles that never make it into the podcast, |
| 1:08.3 | and I share those in the newsletter, too. Along with transcripts |
| 1:11.3 | of my horribalable humor podcast, Mind of Marler, you'll get videos of murder noir as I post |
| 1:16.9 | them, the most popular video of the week from my YouTube channel. Plus, I include bonus audio |
| 1:21.7 | in the newsletter every week that I don't post to the podcast, and if I still have room at the bottom, |
| 1:27.3 | I'll stick a funny meme in there for you. |
