This week, we cover another listener suggestion - thank you Chris C. for your recommendation (and for the insider information you provided to us!)
Katherine Foster was a well liked college freshman at the University of South Alabama - (or "South" as the students call it), that was killed in cold blood and left in the forest on campus. We discuss the crime and the panic it caused at the university, as well as her killer's eventual capture three decades later. Hot takes include why Investigation Discovery is quite literally terrible (and disrespectful to victims and their families), Mobile being the "Mother of Mardi Gras," and how to make a brain slushee with Jessi Slaughter!

Katherine Foster - The University of South Alabama Coed Killing

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.
