Everyone sit, get comfy, grab a snack, grab a drink.

This isn't the most ideal way for me to sit down, mind your business.

Hi, my lovely people.

Welcome to I wish you were here.

I'm your host, Michelle Cuervo.

I don't know when that's ever going to start feeling natural to me, but the name of the podcast comes because as I'm sure many of you know, if not all of you,

I've been making true crime content on TikTok for over a year now,

and prior to, 2024, I've been sitting on my couch talking about true crime cases with my friends,

my sisters, their friends, my mom. I mean, any time a case has been headline news, I've been

on my couch talking to someone about it. And that's the vibe that I want for this pod.

Most of my audience is made up of girls my age, and when I tell these stories, I am captivated

so much so that I want to tell the story and share it with you guys.

But as great as it is speaking through a camera, I really do wish that you were here.

All that to say, this atmosphere and the cases that I cover are told

in a storytelling manner so that one, they're easy to fall along with. But two, so that it does feel

like two friends just sitting down dissecting a case together and getting to the bottom of what

the truth is because there is always a truth. It just depends on who you ask. What you can expect from

this podcast is exactly what I've been doing on TikTok, just on a bigger scale, longer formats.

Also, so you can listen to it audio only if that's something that you do prefer.

But this podcast is also meant so that I can tell the stories in the way that they deserve to be told with no time limit or pressure to fit off the information into a 10 minute video.

Eventually, the goal of the podcast is to have guests on, whether it be victims, families of

the victims, lawyers, experts, anyone that would add valuable inside to a case would be great
