      <title>Introducing: UNDER COVER OF KNIGHT</title>
      <description>Hey hey! We've got a new mystery podcast we think you'll love - UNDER COVER OF KNIGHT. Alia &amp; Bob both worked on this one, and you'll even hear Bob's voice in it, too!
You can binge the whole series right now - follow UNDER COVER OF KNIGHT on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or any of the podcast places.

UNDER COVER OF KNIGHT
In 1996, Sue Knight was found dead in her Athens, TX, home. Her will named a loose acquaintance as the executor of her estate, but after an alleged phone call from the CIA and a dire warning from the local sheriff, the executor stopped asking questions. More than 25 years later, Sue’s memory haunts the town of Athens and the people who knew her. Who was Sue, really? Why did this English expat settle in small-town Texas? And could she still be alive?
Texas Tax rate at 80% of 8.25%</description>

      <title>So Bob...We're Back!</title>
      <description>When we left off with Bob and Alia in season 1, they were wondering about the seemingly bleak state of technology. Is tech really all bad? Are there any answers to our burning questions? In Season 2, they set off to find some reasonable hope in the world of tech (even if it’s just a little). Join us for season 2 of So, Bob, where Alia and Bob find some of the brighter corners of technology, alongside the dim ones. Coming October 7.
Also, stay tuned for a special miniseries sponsored by Intel on the state of privacy today. What have we gotten right? What have we gotten wrong? And what can we do to change it?
