MY OWN RECORDINGS:

Baby laughter

Honestly this episode had me yanking my hair out, cursing under my breath repeatedly, and literally crying. The curse of working on the halloween episode lives on, I ran into challenges, obstacles and a list of tech snafu's - one after another. I started around early and went on till dark, 13 hours... so when you listen please have patience if the sounding isn't completely normal and just know it's because I truly love this podcast and have fun doing it that I didn't give up! This deserves some saving my skin shoutouts...

SAVING MY SKIN SHOUTOUTS:

🐺 Justin Dean (4 hours on video call)
🎃 Dennis Barrett (1 hour on phone/video call)
🧛 Kasey Mauro ( letting me use her computer and software for (re)recording this episode)

In Barcelona, exists a phenomenal burial ground nestled on a hill in Montjuïc Hill known as Montjuïc Cemetery. Some interesting characters are buried here like a horrific serial killer, one of Catalonia's presidents who was executed and more.
