{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Misery Machine","slug":"themiserymachine","podcastDescription":"There’s a problem with True Crime.\n\nCreators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. \n\nFurthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of the case. We hear you, this is frustrating.\n\nThe Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It’s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/6334660/the_misery_machine.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/6334660/the_misery_machine_1200x628.jpg?s=2fa03a4021a14bd4436af209e851098e&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://themiserymachine.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/themiserymachine/feed.xml","theme":"playlist2","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-rmbma-60a8c4","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":369,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"The Misery Machine","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-rmbma-60a8c4-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-misery-machine/id1486604765","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fthemiserymachine.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog6334660%26podcastIdTag%3Drmbma&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fthemiserymachine.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/2lZXvYXppEHNPYm5ncwOhf","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ea9232bb-b61f-4b55-808c-6c1755f62c7e","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Pandora","link":"https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-misery-machine/PC:80216","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/pandora.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/True-Crime-Podcasts/The-Misery-Machine-p1273557/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-misery-machine-podcast-53193711/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/2836330","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-misery-machine-the-misery-machine-yBD-_gLXG6a/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-misery-machine-1062023","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/99865","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#000000"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://www.podbean.com/images/favicon.ico"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to South Florida to discuss the case of Lazaro Figueroa, a sweet little boy who was beaten to death by his mother and his mother's new girlfriend. Known to the public as \"Baby Lollipops\" based on his t-shirt design, line workers in Miami Beach discovered the body of the small boy in the bushes of an affluent neighborhood. By conducting door to door interviews and canvassing area neighborhoods, police soon had a lead... a lead that led to the couple, who at this point, had fled to Disney World.
