Listeners, how did you get interested in true crime and mysteries? This week, we're delving into MM's backstory in the Wine Times Cinematic Universe to hear some local lore and true crime from northern Texas (from approximately near things but also near nothing) and what it was like to hear these as a bebe MM. Stories include a local goatman, the Gainesville Killers, and the disappearance and murder of Shebaniah Sarah Dougherty.

Get ready to hear the word "panhandle" more than you've ever heard it in your life. It doesn't even resemble a word anymore, it's just sounds. Alaska thinks Texas is adorable. Look out for your local goatman. Join us as we process some middle school trauma and learn about the most strategic time to ask where babies come from.
