Blaise Bernstein was a kid that had a lot going on.

Described as a generous and gentle person with a brilliant mind and a sharp sense of humor,

Blaze was on his way to having everything he ever wanted in this world.

That was before the promising teen suddenly disappeared, never to be seen alive again.

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

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

And I've noticed quite a few new listeners have reached out to let me know that they are listening

and have requests that I cover certain stories.

And first of all, I'm super pumped that you're here.

I'm glad that so many new

people are listening to the show. It makes me want to do more and more and more for the show.

The more it grows, the more excited about it I get. And I've been doing it for several years now,

and I can say that I'm just as excited about it now as I was when I first started the podcast.

So I really appreciate all of you listening.

But by the way, whether you are a new listener or have been with me for the years that I've been doing this, you can pretty easily reach me if you want to.

But the way that you do that has slightly changed.

Obviously, you can still DM me on social media, but the email address has changed.

The old one still works, and I'll still get those messages. But the new email address is

Joe at 10minitmur.com. Use the number 10 and don't spell it out, Joe at 10minutemerder.com.

Also, there's another slight change. But it's to make it easier to find the places to connect with the podcast, where to listen,

where to get merchandise, that kind of thing.

You can just go to 10-minute murder.com now.
