The birth of a podcast.
For this episode, I want to first welcome you to Wisconsin with some targeted facts about our state, because at the end of the day, this is a podcast about Wisconsin from Wisconsin. Then we’ll dive into our first official case, a hometown cold case that took 40 years for justice to prevail.
As we kick this off, we won’t be going down the Wisco rabbit hole alone, as I will be dragging my friends and family with me. If you’re a true crime junkie (as I assume you are if you’re listening), you’re in good company.
Stick with me folks; this is going to be a bumpy ride. Seriously… I’m making this up as I go along. That’s half the fun, right?
