We Have a New Name! (Introducing Midwest Shadow Files)
Episode Title: A Whole New Shadow: Welcome to the Midwest Shadow Files!
Episode Description:
Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast! If you noticed a slightly different name and logo in your feed today, don't panic—you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
In this quick update episode, we are pulling back the curtain on a massive milestone for the podcast. The last year, we’ve loved diving deep into the eerie, the unexplained, and the hidden histories of the Hawkeye State as the Iowa Shadow Files. - And you may have noticed the channel grew silent for a year. There is an explanation in this episode - and it revolved around a story I was researching...it gave me pause for a little bit.
But after a timeout - we are back - and there was a minor change -
After talking with a few listeners - there was a realization that dark history, urban legends, and strange anomalies don’t care about state lines. The cornfields of Illinois, the woods of Wisconsin, the plains of Nebraska, and the lakes of Minnesota all have their own shadows waiting to be uncovered.
So, we are officially expanding our territory and rebranding as the Midwest Shadow Files!
What does this mean for you?
- The Same DNA: The deep-dive research, the spooky vibes, and the storytelling style you love aren't going anywhere.
- Bigger Lore: We’re breaking out of Iowa to bring you the strangest mysteries from across the entire Midwest. Naturally - we still have ALOT of Iowa stories to share as well!
- More Episodes: A bigger map means way more stories to tell.
Iowa will always be our home base, but it's time to see what else is bumping in the night across the Heartland. Grab your flashlights, update your bookmarks, and let's step into the wider dark together.
Thank you so much for riding with us this far—the next chapter starts right now! - and new episodes will come out every Wednesday!
