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

I'm Joe, the host, and thank you for joining today.

Well, part of that's true.

I'm Joe.

I'm always Joe, but I'm not the host of this episode.

If you've caught the previous two episodes, you know that I am currently away on a work trip.

And in the process of getting ready for that trip, I was going to make episodes to be

released, you know, do a bunch of them ahead of time to be released as I was gone so that

you'd never even know that I was gone. And I got into that process and decided, you know what,

it might be a lot cooler if I reach out to some of the podcasts that I listen to. I personally

listen to the true crime

podcast that I spend my time listening to that maybe you don't know about and see if they would

want to guest host an episode while I'm away.

So that's what I did.

I did not, though, put a stipulation on the time.

They don't have to conform to the 10 minutes that I normally try to stick to.

Also, the topic. They can talk about any true crime topic that they want to. I didn't choose their stories. I didn't choose anything about what they're going to say. So it's fully representative of what you would get by listening to their podcast, which I do encourage that you do. You can go to the show notes of each individual episode, including this one, and you'll

see how you can connect with their show. The one today is from Emily and Megan of Popcorn Murder

Stories. Hi there. Thanks so much for joining. My name is Emily, and I'm one of the hosts of

Popcorn Murder Stories, a not-so-true crime podcast.

We are so excited that Joe asked us to guest host.

We love 10-minute murder, so yeah, when he hit us up, we were like, absolutely sign us up.
