In 2024, I completely rewrote and rerecorded this first episode from 2016 in an effort to demonstrate the eventual quality of the podcast to new listeners who choose to start here at the beginning. The new version better reflects the audio and content quality of later episodes, and in it, I dive far deeper into the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke than I previously did.\xa0\nDirect all advertising inquiries to\xa0advertising@airwavemedia.com.
