Midwest Murder
Jonah Lantto & Dawn Palumbo with the Good Talk NetworkWe’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.

- Haters gonna hate
Amazing! I became aware of the podcast this year when seeing a poster for an upcoming show in my area. I’ve listened to 80 episodes in 18 days and can’t wait to see you live in Davenport! I love the fact that you alternate hosts and that the other has no idea what the story is. They are asking the questions that we all are. The banter is great and I love when Jonah says that’s what they call her in the biz. Keep up the amazing work!

Too much fumbling over words, too much mispronunciation of words, too much losing your place and repeating information.
I would encourage you to do research before saying things such as “they should have”, “they did t even look at”, implications that the ball was dropped or the investigation was shoddy. There are federal, state, county, city/town‘s, ordinances, rules, and regulations that should be followed. Investigative entities, law-enforcement, the justice system must abide by the constituti... more

My husband took me to their live podcast last night and it was absolutely amazing to watch them live!♥️- this was almost two years ago. I have listened to them for years and I am so excited I get to see them again Wednesday in Dickinson, ND! I have been through so much over the last few years and listening to their podcast has helped me get up everyday and not just do the bare minimum for my house and myself. Thank you for doing what you do!♥️

I absolutely love this podcast. You guys are the only show I listen to and would love to hear you cover Wayne Nance and his several victims. I just missed you guys when you had stopped in Missoula. When you had left I happened to be in the back room listening to your latest episode (probably for the best as I would have embarrassed myself) I’m hoping to catch a live show soon!
