Pausing to regroup: sincere apologies from Kristi

Pausing to regroup: sincere apologies from Kristi

Author: Kristi Lee | Canadian True Crime January 15, 2023 Duration: 34:16

Please note: it's just for a month - we'll be back with a new episode on February 15.


Hi everyone - Kristi here. It's never my preference to miss a publication date, but with sincere apologies, it's become apparent that we at Canadian True Crime need to take a short pause to regroup.

We've decided to delay the next new episode by a month so that we can maintain the quality of the show you all want to hear — while also taking care of ourselves. We will be back with a new episode on February 15.

In the meantime, here’s a bit of an explanation and update on some things that have been happening behind the scenes over the course of 2022 – professionally, and personally. See timestamps below for today's topics.

Thank you in advance for listening, and understanding :)

- Kristi
