Today’s episode is a rather impromptu episode I got the inspiration to do early in the morning. If this episode does not release on St. Patrick’s Day for you, I apologize I should have thought of this sooner. Today’s episode will briefly detail the life of St. Patrick. With much left out for a later episode I hope today’s episode will shed some light on who St. Patrick was as a person and give you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the celebration of St. Patrick. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, stay safe and have fun!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
