About the Host

Joe Profile Photo

Joe

Host/Creator

Joe, the voice and the brain behind 10 Minute Murder, found his obsession with true crime in the '90s—a time when the Menendez Brothers trial and O.J. Simpson’s courtroom drama were beamed into living rooms like the most twisted reality TV show ever. While other kids were busy with cartoons, Joe was quietly asking, “Why are people like this?” Decades later, he’s still asking, and 10 Minute Murder is his way of figuring it all out.

When he’s not unraveling humanity’s darker tendencies, Joe yells at his favorite sports teams (constructively, of course… Go Bills!), devours books like they’re snacks, and escapes to stand-up comedy shows to recalibrate his faith in humanity. Most nights, he’s on the couch, remote in hand, watching a murder documentary and mumbling, ‘Oh, come on, you know better than that.’ It’s not just entertainment—it’s research, or so he tells himself.
