The Misery Machine
Summary: There‘s a problem with True Crime. Creators are idolizing perpetrators, shaming victims, or being completely checked out on cases while they do their makeup. However, we can‘t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. The Misery Machine is a podcast that focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention, especially local and missing persons cases. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one to begin with, and bring light to cases desperately needing more resources. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on such as mental health and social issues, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It‘s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference. True Crime is boring, we‘re fixing that. New episodes every Monday. Want to request an episode?

Putting this one together took several months worth of research. We hope that by the end of this we‘ll have done Christiana justic
