There’s a problem with True Crime.
Creators are idolizing perpetrators, shaming victims, or being 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.
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.


Updated every Monday.
This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Julissa Thaler, a mother from Minnesota who shot her 6 year old son, Eli Hart, 9 times at close range with a shotgun while he sat in his car seat. When purchasing the ammunition that ultimately killed her little boy, Julissa asked the store clerk for the shells that would “blow the biggest hole.”
