We’ve all heard the phrase ‘that kind of thing doesn’t happen in our town’, but here on Midwest Murder, we will shatter that false reality. In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific crimes that happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.

  • Can’t stop, won’t stop

    This is the podcast I tell EVERYONE about. I stumbled across the podcast as a previous coworker put “interested” to one of your local live shows on fb. I figured, true crime and Midwest? Might as well give it a try. I listened to the first episode and knew I was hooked. I’m typically particularly about my podcasts and how the stories are told and you guys scratched that itch I didn’t know was there. Can’t wait to see you live.

    the husband of the killer must have helped create the situation where his wife would attack her rivals. It might could be that it enhanced their sex life, making him involved secondarily.

    also, you are giving Minot a good name. I cherish all I learned growing up there.

    You got it goin on, yall

  • Love! Love! Love!

    Let me start off by saying Jonah & Dawn are great story tellers. They give us all of the fine details on each case while remaining respectful of all individuals involved! I’ve listened to every single episode and have seen them twice in person with the third live show opportunity coming up in October! I often listen to them during long car rides and sometimes to help me fall asleep at night (weird I know but it works, lol!!) I always look forward to their banter and comments to each other about ... more
