Hey folks, it's James here, host and producer of this show, Dakota Spotlight.

I've got some exciting news to share with you.

I've just launched a brand new podcast called The Sleep Retreat.

The Sleep Retreat is designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift off to sleep.

With soothing soundscapes and calming original stories by yours truly, it's the perfect escape for a busy mind.

You can find the sleep retreat wherever you listen to podcasts or head over to the sleepretreatpodcast.com.

What are these things have in common?

Missing Barbara Cotton from Williston, North Dakota, USA, a hit man in Italy, secret agents,

international crime, and 1,500 kilos of heroin seized by police in a Dutch port city. I'll tell you, they're all included in this story about how my Scandinavian vacation became sidetracked by a mysterious drowning and sent me

looking for international secrets. Oh, and along the way, I learned a forgotten secret about you too.

And like a whistleblower, I'm going to whistle it in your ear.

Even if it gets me cancelled.

On the one hand is increased killings, and on the other hand, a lowering of public trust in the media a toxic

environment is being created the bottom line is a journalist step on some pretty powerful

toes in their line of work and too often those in power have minimal incentive to investigate

armed organized crime corrupt government and local warlord.

And even though we do not have any real act against this killer because of money.

But this is a story that is untold.

It needs to be told to the world.

Because if you lost your humanity, you cannot do anything.

Welcome to The Man from Un, music by Vesem Uppsala, Sweden. I'm calling this story The Man from Un, music by Vesem, Uppsala, Sweden.

I'm calling this story The Man from Un, which will make more sense soon enough, I hope.
