Welcome to 10-minute murder, the brief and bingeable true crime podcast.

My name is Joe. I'm the host, and I'm glad you're here.

If you are new to the podcast, first of all, hi, welcome.

Second, be sure you're subscribed so that you don't miss any episodes coming soon.

Subscribing is absolutely free, and I will never ask for money from you.

But the only thing I do ask is a little bit of your time.

These episodes are pretty short by design and if you're like me, you have a short attention

span and the length is pretty perfect for that.

Also when you subscribe to a 10-minute murder, not only do you get these free true crime stories to listen to, but you get them as soon as I release them without delay.

Non-subscribers still obviously get them, but they're not always immediate.

And by the way, we can also connect on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
