Bonus Episode - Part 1: The Loch Ness Monster is out there!

 
 

It’s my birthday today and as a gift from me to y’all out there in Podcastland I decided to record a special episode. What could be more special than finally recording an episode for the one and only Loch Ness Monster! So is she real or not? Well I may not have all the answers in this episode, but I decided to take us on a journey of all the major events that happened involving the search for Nessie. I hope you enjoy this week's episode and our search for the truth as much as I enjoy telling you all about it. Enjoy!
