| 0:06.8 | 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 you heard in the podcast. |

| 0:27.0 | you'll get videos of murder noir as I post them, the most popular video of the week from my YouTube |
| 0:32.1 | channel. Plus, I include bonus audio in the newsletter every week that I don't post to the podcast. |

| 1:39.0 | A friend of mine, Father Kenneth Torres, wrote something recently that stopped me cold. He wrote, |
