10-minute murder contains depictions of actual crimes.

What you are about to hear is real and violent in nature.

Discretion is advised.

This is 10-minute murder, the brief and bingeable true crime podcast.

I'm Joe, I'm the host, and thanks for being here.

If you are brand new to this podcast and you have not subscribed to it, do that now. First of all, I appreciate you checking it out today. Hope you'll come back in the future. And in order to make sure that you don't miss it in the future, you can subscribe. So go ahead and do that when you get a chance to.
