Hey everyone,

We wanted to take a moment to give you a real update on what’s been going on behind the scenes with the show this week.

Unfortunately, we ran into some pretty significant technical issues during production—specifically with audio quality in Part 1. After reviewing everything closely, we made the call that it just doesn’t meet the standard we hold ourselves to for Shadows in the Pines. And rather than push something out that doesn’t sound right or pulls you out of the story, we’ve decided to fully re-record Part 1.

We know that’s not ideal. We know you’re waiting, and we don’t take that lightly.

But this show is important to us—for the stories, for the victims, and for you—and we want every episode to be something you can fully immerse yourself in without distraction. So we’re taking the time to get it right.

Here’s the updated plan:

• Part 1 will be re-recorded and released as soon as it’s ready

• Part 2 will follow later this week

• Part 3 is still on track for Sunday as scheduled

We’re working hard behind the scenes to stay as close to our original timeline as possible while making sure the quality is exactly where it needs to be.

We genuinely appreciate your patience and your support more than we can say. This community means everything to us, and we never want to put out something that feels rushed or incomplete.

Thank you for understanding—and thank you for sticking with us.

—Dan & Bekah
