350 episodes. 25 years. Those are both some pretty big and impressive numbers deserving of a celebration, don’t you think?
Also, did you know that in addition to being an award-winning journalist that Zahn is also an accomplished cellist?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
