Old Fashioned Murder and Mayhem

22/10/2024

Well, I guess you could probably anticipate what the result of my struggles with technology would lead to, but here goes…after four years of putting together my murder and mayhem stories, I have decided to move on to something else. I’ve had problems with equipment, time, and the cost of maintaining the source subscriptions. So ( at least for now) I am taking a break from the podcast. Thank you so much to all who have followed and encouraged me. I LOVED researching and sharing the stories. May God richly blessed each of you. Sincerely, Mindy Hudson.
