This month we are going to take you to Washington DC! DC has been the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) since the agency's inception in 1947. The CIA's mission is to collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence to support national security objectives. Throughout its history, the agency has played a critical role in some of the most significant events of the 20th and 21st centuries, from the Cold War to the War on Terror. While much of the CIA's work is shrouded in secrecy, visitors to Washington DC can explore its history and legacy through museums and memorials, as well as specialized tours led by expert guides.
Today, we're thrilled to be joined by Rosanna Minchew, a spy guide and expert on the history and culture of espionage in Washington DC. As a guide for Spytours, Rosanna has led countless visitors on an immersive journey through the secret world of spies, sharing fascinating stories and little-known facts along the way. Today, she's here to give us a glimpse into that world and share some of her own experiences and insights.

This month we are taking you to Vermont! I don't know about you, but when I think of Vermont the first thing I think of is snow activities and for someone who doesn't ski or snowboard I was curious what else we could experience that still feels true to Vermont. And that is when we discovered Robert De-Grun-yer
Robert DuGrenier is a well-known sculptor, artist, and designer working primarily in glass, metal and marble. He is located in Townshend, Vermont where he has given people an opportunity to experience first hand the thrill of working with molten glass and create a unique work of art from start to finish at his studio. He also has tours of his maple bush and sugar house to taste his small-batch of award-winning Taft Hill Farm maple syrup. Today we will be discussing his amazing career and how you can experience these activities in Vermont with Robert.

For today's twin talk we want to highlight a special organization called Elephant Nature Park. Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center in Northern Thailand where you can volunteer and visit to help. They have been involved in dozens of rescues that have created their thriving elephant herd. The park provides a natural environment for elephants, dogs, cats, buffaloes, and many other animals under their care. Volunteers and visitors contribute to the healing while learning about their lives past and present. We were fortunate enough to visit this sanctuary back in 2018 and wanted to share their mission and our experience by reading an excerpt from Shannon's travel journal during that time. If you are interested in visiting or donating here is the link where you can help their organization continue to do the work they do!

What started off as a joke has now become a concern. We have noticed every time we go through airport security Shannon gets flagged and has to go through interrogation (most times). We share our theory on why this happens to her but never with Kristin. Tune in to hear how the FBI gave her such a hard time she almost didn't get to go home.

Last year we did an episode with our guest Troy Taylor about the hauntings of Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton Illinois. On that episode, he invited us to join him on a tour with American Hauntings so we could experience where these haunted locations took place and we said YES! In this twin talk, we are highlighting our experience with Troy and our take on whether Alton was as creepy as he claimed. If you are interested in learning more about these hauntings tune in to our previous episode with him here.

Meet our guest Troy Taylor. His full-time job is ghosts, true crime, and the unexplained. He is the author of more than 130 books and the owner of American Hauntings - a tour company dedicated to offering a historically haunted experience in towns across Illinois and haunted locations all over the country!
You may remember him from last year's episode “American Hauntings” where he shared some of his favorite haunting stories in Alton, Illinois and we joined him on a ghost tour there to show us where those stories began. To say we are big fans is an understatement since we asked to have him on again, but this time he will be covering the haunted tales of New Orleans!

With all the traveling we have done we can easily say this was the WORST flying experience of our lives. This is probably the second worst thing that can happen on a flight (the first being a plane crash) that we can now check off as a traveling experience. Unfortunately, it is one we have been avoiding the most. Tune in to hear what happened and how we survived 7 hours of flying with food poising!
