I'm really excited to connect. And, you know, this show is so personal to you that I feel like I already kind of have a sense of who you are, as do, I imagine, everybody else that's listened, especially on Tenderfoot Plus, where we just get to binge the entire story in silence. 24 hours, which is what I did.

It's really engaging, you know, and I'm excited.

So you're a film producer and you have a lot of other creative outlets, not necessarily podcasting. So why did you decide to create this show as a podcast and not as a film?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Absolutely. And I mean, the fact that the show, the actual production, once you got into the weeds of building each episode and then producing each episode, the fact that that took about a year makes a lot of sense to me because it is a very highly produced in a good way show. You know, there's so many elements to it. There's so many sound clips that you pull in from news and like it really.

Brings people into the world that you grew up in and that your dad was living in. And I think, you know, if you'd put a show together in three months, it obviously would not have had nearly as many layers or depth. So, yeah, that time really shows.

Yeah.

Another creative outlet that you have in the show is your music. I think it's a really awesome Easter egg for listeners. I didn't realize initially that that was your band that was in the soundtrack. Can you talk a little bit about Starry Eyes' music and the songs that you featured in Crook County and how that all fits into the show?

But it's glorified.

So note to anyone who's dealing with really tough family stories, make a podcast, publish it to millions of people and you'll feel better. And write an album. And write an album. Yeah, music is a really incredible way to process anything.

Is there anywhere that people can go and just listen to these songs a little more in depth since we get clips of them in the show, but we don't really get the full start to finish song?
