Not all monsters are myths.

This is Michigan Monsters.

A true crime, Gothic.

Oh, hi! I heard you guys have been looking for me.

I'm here. And after an unexpectedly long hiatus, I am ready to

discuss some more Michigan-centric true crime with you. Are you ready for it? A lot has changed

since we last talked, clearly not my Swifty status, but everything else pretty much in my life, I'm sure in your

lives as well, and just in the world in general. But we can talk about all that later.

One big change for the podcast that we do need to talk about up front is that it has a new name

again. I do still feel like changing the name from So Dead was the right move. It didn't

really fit the vibe of the show anymore once the show became a bit more serious, a bit more

in-depth. So Dead didn't really fit. But Violent Ends just never really settled in like I wanted

it to either. I wanted to love it, tried to love it,

but I just didn't. So I'm so sorry. I know it's confusing, but I promise this is the last time.

I don't know what that just was. Third times a charm, maybe, hopefully. Yeah, it's got to be.

So this is actually what I wanted to change the name of the

show to the last time I changed it, but I was so hesitant at that time to marry myself to

only covering Michigan cases forever. But let's be honest, I'm never going to talk about anything

else. So I think we all know that.

So, yeah, without further ado, welcome to Michigan Monsters.

I'm your host, Jen Carpenter.

Let's start this new era the same way we've started every other season of the show
