Happy Native American Heritage Day & belated Thanksgiving!

We are a day late but nevertheless, we have to share how thankful and gratuitous we are for our listeners! We could not be able to tell our stories without you!

Today on WTLGO, Bri is a little under the weather and unable to co-host so we have Simon filling in for her! Our story for episode 13 is, The Bloody Benders. The United States first known murderous, serial-killing family. They were settlers that dwelled on the innocence of any travelers on the Osage Trail and left a pretty ugly surprise behind in their tracks. Stay safe out there and we will see you when the light goes out!
