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?

Quick plug. And the band is called Starry Eyes.

You talked about initially gathering these stories and interviewing your dad with the intention of this being a family archive, not something public. Can you talk a little bit about that process of when you actually first started interviewing him and what that looked like?
