Spooky season is upon us! And KALA-FM is ready to help you get into the spirit with its newest podcast The Morbid Midwest.

When people think of the Midwest, they might think of cornfields, cows in pastures and small towns. What many don’t know is that the Midwest holds many sinister secrets: serial killers, mysterious disappearances and more. Join student host Brooke Hass as she dives deeper into the cases that have baffled America’s heartland for years on KALA-FM’s new podcast, The Morbid Midwest. This true-crime podcast covers murders and the missing in the Midwest region, investigating the cases that unfold right in your backyard.

The first episode is available on Oct. 1 wherever you get your podcasts! Follow along on Instagram @themorbidmidwest_podcast for more true crime and behind the scenes looks at some of our cases.
