Welcome to Malice the Mitten!! This is the only true crime podcast where all stories to be told happened only in Michigan and of course that includes the U.P. (Upper Peninsula). I am your host Tracy Preston and along with me is my bestie Christine Mulligan! I have some crazy stories of crime and folklore to share with you! Welcome and enjoy all the Malice in the Mitten.
All artwork is created by my amazing husband Todd Preston!
