The Misery Machine
The Misery MachineThere’s a problem with True Crime. Creators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. Furthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of th... more

I love this podcast. Reminds me of how disgusting people are. Very well researched and I like their voices. But good lord can we talk about how you’re listening to an episode and then all of a sudden it’ll cut to a commercial and the commercial will be louder than the podcast. Not a fan of that as I listen with my AirPods on and it’ll scare me.

The first after the episode started was within the very first sentence. The breaks also seemed to increase in length. The first was one commercial and at time there wer... more
