Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days.

Recently I got an email about pre-sale tickets for a Josh Gates Live tour. My first thought was, “Josh Gates on tour?” My second was, “Here? In Nashville?” I briefly wondered about the price, but unless it was some cuckoo crazy outrageous one, they’d be worth just about anything. (They’reContinue Reading
As far as entertainment, Kindred Spirits’ season premiere was good. Amy and Adam, as always, are both extremely likable, and the show is orchestrated in a way to deliver the most intriguing and engaging storyline possible. So, yeah. It’s good entertainment.
