The podcast will start in California and then move on to other states.  Each episode will contain one well told story, released on the 1st and 15th of every month, plus there will be surprise bonus episodes appearing now and again.  So if you like what you hear, you will want to remind yourself to subscribe, so that you don't miss out when new episodes are released.   Produced by:  Squeaky Metal Stool ProductionsNarrator:  Eric HurttProduction Voice:  Special thanks to Julia H.Theme Music by Dan HenigMusic Entitled:  Arpy  Story Music:A Singular Perversion - Darkness by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100660Artist: http://incompetech.com/
