You are listening to the Fresh Hell podcast.

Fresh Hell contains stories of a disturbing and often graphic nature and is intended for a mature audience.

Please don't let your kids listen to this, or they might turn out like us.

Hi, I'm Annie from Massachusetts, where every quaint little New England town has at least one dark secret.

And I'm Johanna from Austria, where the hills are alive, often at midnight, sometimes screaming.

And you, wherever you are, are listening to your favorite international podcast.

The podcast hosted by two women who never met in real

life, but probably share way too many browser search flags. I know. Truly the only people

with search histories like ours are serial killers and podcasters. It's alarming. Pardon my

voice a little bit today.

It's just allergies, I believe, but I've definitely got a sort of, I don't know,

something's going on here, so sorry about that.

More importantly, before we start, I want to take a quick moment to thank each and

every one of our Patreon supporters.

Your support means the absolute world to us. Seriously, you are the reason we get to keep on

making this show. Every penny that we get from our listeners goes right back into the show

by way of newspaper subscriptions, audio equipment, hosting fees, all that jazz.

And so, thank you because I think it would have been hard to do this for as long as we've done it,

sort of ad-free without you, really. Yeah, there's no way. If you're not already part of our Patreon family

and you'd like to get some extra fresh hell in your life, think bonus content, life chats,

outtakes, and some behind the scenes weirdness, you know where to find us. There's no pressure ever. We're just so

glad that you're here listening. Thanks again for keeping us going. Also, kind of a life hack
