Michigan Murders & Music
Join us on "Michigan Murders and Music" for a true crime road trip with a twist.
Picture this: you're cruising across Michigan with two of your wildest, most entertaining friends. At every stop, they've got a local true crime story to tell you.
Our mission is to explore these dark tales while staying laser-focused on the perpetrator, honoring the victims and their families by not sensationalizing their pain. On our special UNSOLVED episodes, we will occasionally focus more on the victim to help generate new leads and find answers.
And because no road trip is complete without a great playlist, every episode ends with a hand-picked song by a legendary Michigan band.
We guarantee a dark story and leave you with a happy ending—all in one trip.
