| 0:00.0 | 9th Story Studios, giving story a voice. The |
| 0:23.6 | The So today, my guest, So today, my guest is one of my favorite people on the planet. |
| 0:59.7 | We have Aaron Vleck with us, who if you're a fan of the show, you've heard her work before. |
| 1:04.4 | So why don't we start off with the case of the Yuletide Bride, which was part of the Jeffrey Sykes Vermilion universe. We did one prior |
| 1:12.9 | to that, the case of the Black Lodge. And then, of course, for Christmas, we did the case of the |
| 1:16.9 | Yuletide Bride. And we have coming up this season, the case of the Sigmint Ring. So let's talk |
| 1:22.6 | a little bit about the case of the Yuletide Bride and maybe some of the inspiration for that story and, you know, |
| 1:28.1 | how it ties into the larger world of Jeffrey Sykes-Vermillion. I know it's the first time we meet. |

| 2:15.6 | And Audrey is a young girl. She's a young woman, |
| 2:19.4 | but she's just become Vermilions assistant, if you will. She started out as his secretary |
| 2:27.9 | and proved that she was worthy to the task. So we're getting to meet this new member of the party, Audrey, |
| 2:36.0 | and finding out a little bit about her and a little close-up of what she's made of. |
| 2:43.0 | Also, it's a Christmas story. I absolutely adore mystery Christmas stories, |
| 2:49.0 | so it gave me an opportunity to play with something I've been wanting to play with for a long time. |
| 2:54.6 | And I love Christmas, so it was perfect. |
| 2:57.8 | Yeah, and we get a chance to kind of visit the gin, which I know has been part of your work as well over the years. |
| 3:06.1 | And I always enjoy that. We got a, we got a chance |
