Presenting: This Machine Belongs To
Halfwit History

Listen Here! ( https://thismachinebelongsto.buzzsprout.com/share )
Hi everybody its Kiley popping in to share the new project that we’ve been working on called "This Machine Belongs To", a psychological horror story told in short 10 minute or less episodes. So while the trailer is family friendly, this show is explicit, meaning it contains more adult language and themes than our normal content. Listener Discretion is advised. We hope you enjoy!
