Hi everyone, I am back again today. I know it's not a typical day for me to pop into your feed on the deck, but I have some exciting news that I can't wait to share with you. AudioChuck has a new weekly show coming your way starting today. And I know some of you already know my friend Kylie Lo and listen to her show Dark Downies. You actually may even remember her guest hosting an episode here on the deck. It was the episode on Desiree Meshade. Well, I am super happy to announce that her show Dark Down East is officially now part of the AudioCheck Network. Just like I do here on the deck, Kylie seeks

insight on the investigations from law enforcement sources who know these cases best. And in every episode of Dark Downies, you'll truly get to know the people at the heart of these stories. Each week, Kylie digs into the decades-old and modern cases of homicides, undetermined deaths, unexplained disappearances, and other dark stories from her home state of Maine or the greater New England area, with the goal of honoring the legacy of people whose stories they are and gaining attention for cases that still need answers and justice. This is a show that I truly never miss an episode of, and there is already a back catalog of episodes for you to go and binge while you wait for new ones to come out each Thursday.

As a bit of a sneak peek, I'm going to give you the trailer for Dark Down East, and then you can go find even more episodes by following Dark Down East wherever you get your podcasts. It's a cold hard fact. Crime does not leave any region untouched, not even the postcard landscape of New England. I'm Kylie Lo, and this is Dark Down East. Each week, I dig into the unsolved homicides, undetermined deaths, unexplained disappearances, and other dark stories of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I'm an investigative journalist by education, a storyteller by nature, and a born and raised manor.

For every case I cover, I scour the archives, dig deep into case files, and interview the investigators and sources who know these cases best. It's my mission to help friends and families keep the memories of their loved ones alive long after the attention fades. I'm wicked proud of where I'm from, so I created dark downies to tell local stories in a way that only a local can tell them. There's a binge-ready lineup of episodes ready for you right now and new ones dropping each week. Listen to Dark Down East, wherever you get your podcasts.
