A bit of serious, a bit more silly in today's episode. Every year I like to tell everyone "Happy Colombo Day!" a send-up of what today is often called. In this episode I am sharing facts about the 1970s Murder Mystery Series "Colombo," because why not?

As today is now referred to as Indigenous Peoples' Day, I also want to highlight Coyote & Crow, a company producing an exciting new RPG designed, owned, and operated by Indigenous People. Check them out at www.Coyoteandcrow.net
