The Heehaw Gang of East Texas

August 18th, 2012, was just like any other day for Nancy Howard, spending most of her day at church. When she arrived home that evening, she was confronted by a man who demanded her purse and then shot her in the face. Miraculously, she survived and was able to see justice served in the failed attempt against her life. Special guest Amanda C. Miller, voice actor for beloved characters such as Boruto, Sailor Jupiter in Sailor Moon Crystal, and Jo in Kid Cosmic joins us as we discuss the wacky twists and turns of this attempted murder-for-hire plot.
