0:00.0	Hello, folks, it's me, James Walner. As some of you know, I've been releasing episodes on Wednesdays
0:04.9	lately, and today is Wednesday. Here in the United States, it's the week of Thanksgiving.
0:10.2	So today I'm not releasing an episode of my current season, The Mandan Murders. I will, however,
0:15.6	in just a second, give you a sneak peek of next week's episode, which will likely be the last
0:20.7	regular episode of
0:22.2	the Mandan murders. You will want to listen to this sneak peek because it will reveal something to you.
0:27.8	Just recently, I sat down to talk about the RJR murders with some folks who have never previously
0:33.1	spoken to the media, and from what I've gathered from them, this may be the only time they speak
0:37.8	out. But before I play this sneak peek for you, in the spirit of giving thanks, I do want to
0:43.6	express my thanks to all of you who follow the work I do here on Dakota Spotlight and for listening

1:10.3	Long story short, this podcast exists because of you.
1:13.4	And I'll be honest, on the very few occasions when I've considered throwing in the towel,
1:17.6	when speed bumps and setbacks and just challenging aspects of this work have felt almost overwhelming,
1:23.6	every single time I just happen to hear from one of you and your supportive words about my work act as a much-needed mental reboot,
1:31.3	reminding me that Dakota Spotlight is here for a reason, or perhaps many different reasons,
1:36.3	and I'm reminded why I got into this in the first place, and I decide, I'm just going to keep doing this until, well, maybe until you tell me to stop.
1:45.3	For those of you who do celebrate it, I want to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
1:50.0	And for that matter, I hope all of you are able to find some time soon to gather with family,
