Shownotes Transcript

Today we’re sharing a special bonus episode from the Jordan Harbinger Show). Check out all things Jordan, including his helpful episode starter packs,) on his website. We think NSBM listeners will be especially fascinated by his episodes on con artists and abnormal psychology.

·        How we can keep an eye out for signs of medical child abuse, and who we should contact if we suspect the worst.
