Meeting Room A

Love podcasts? Fascinated by true crime? Join us for our True Crime Podcast Club—a book club-style discussion group, but for podcasts!

Join us as we discuss two episodes covering the Cleveland Torso Murders, one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history. Set in Cleveland during the 1930s, the case involved a series of shocking murders that captured national attention and sparked a massive investigation. In these episodes, we'll explore the crimes, the search for the killer, and a mystery that continues to fascinate true-crime enthusiasts today.

Come ready to listen, reflect, and share your thoughts in a respectful and engaging discussion.

Recommended for adults due to content.

Before the meeting, please listen to the following free podcasts on your favorite podcast platform:

Morbid - "The Butcher of Kingsbury Run" 11/14/22 & 11/16/22 (two parts)

The Dark Histories Podcast - "The Mad Butcher Of Kingsbury Run: Cleveland's Torso Murders" 6/17/18
