I wonder which was worse, Lapland or Glasgow Willy's Chocolate Experience?

There’s been some new activity on their Instagram. In a turn of events, the account is acting as a tribute page to gain support for the fires (fyres) in Australia. An interesting take on a crisis that has global interests!

One of the best episodes ever!

I lived in England for 18 years and was kind of unnaturally happy that you covered the Lapland festival. I had not put "two and two" together but you were right - the Lapland was the warm-up act for Frye. It was a great episode.

So excited to hear you will be at the True Crime Festival! But, are you actually going to "reveal" yourself?!
