    Ep. 53 Disappearing Women

    Holy moly, we're back and better than ever, hopefully. We're trying to be. Anyway, we initially recorded this story in spooky season, ran into some audio quality issues, and couldn't release it. So, here we are bringing you all spooky stories in mashed potato season. First up, Morgan tells you the story of the Red Barn Murder, then Lexi talks about the disappearance of Agatha Christie. We are glad to be back and hope you love this episode!
