Gleđileg jól! This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss a number of Icelandic Yule traditions including the thrice wed giantess Grýla and her lazy husband Leppalúđi, the Yule Cat (Yergy wants one), Grýla's thirteen mischievous children known simply as the Yule Lads and their incredibly weird names (Sausage-Swiper and Door-Sniffer anyone?)
Included are updates on Anneliese Heinig, and the Maine Department of Corrections coming through on an address for Brandon Thongsavanh. We also go in on people making New Years resolutions and not following through and people who repeatedly watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and obsess over the characters.

Icelandic Yule Traditions

There’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 the case. We hear you, this is frustrating.

The Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, 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.
