1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Hey folks, Aaron here. Over the past few years, we've

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: had the joy of digging deep into a number of

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: historic topics, from the witch trials of Salem to the

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: streets of London's Whitechapel District. We've explored topics that are

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: easy to misunderstand but so rewarding once unpacked. But if

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: there's one thing that I haven't enjoyed about making Unobscured,

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: it's the way we sort of disappear for eight months

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: every year. Sure, you get a lot of stories all

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: at once, but once we're done, this podcast gets really quiet,

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: and I don't like that. The bad news is Unobscured

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: isn't returning for another season. But the good news is

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: that all of our passion and purpose for the show

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: have been pushed into the next evolution you see. Back

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: in January, we launched a show called Grim and Mild Presents,

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: named after my production company, and it solves the problems

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: that I have with Unobscured while opening up a whole

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: new world of possibilities. Grim and Mild Presents publishes new

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: episodes every other right, a ongoing without taking breaks. That

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: means your podcast app won't grow cold and you'll always

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: have a new episode to look forward to as you

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: head into the weekend. There are still topical seasons, but

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: once one topic wraps up, we move right on to

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: the next, no waiting, which is great. The episodes are

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: still narrated by me, but along the way you'll also

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: hear the voices of some of my Grim and Mild teammates,

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: because history is a group effort and storytelling should be too.

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: At the moment, we're nearing the end of our first

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: season of Grimm and Mill Presents, all about the American

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Side Show and the people who gave it life. It's

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: wonderfully researched and these stories will give you hope and

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: make you think. And when Side Show ends in late June,

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: will follow it up with another thirteen episode season on

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: a secret topic that I know you're going to love.

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: So there you go. The Unobscured Spirit lives on, but

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: it's been transplanted into a brand new show. You can
