- Podcast: Real Crime ProfileIf you're a fan of the true crime genre, or just a fan of the crime-oriented TV genre (such as Law & Order, NCIS, Forensic Files, or the TV show Criminal Minds) you're bound to enjoy this podcast. While they have many expert guests, the central three hosts of the show include Join Jim Clemente (former FBI profiler), Laura Richards (criminal behavioral analyst, former New Scotland Yard) and Lisa Zambetti (Casting director for CBS’ Criminal Minds). They take time on this show to go through the steps of actual criminal profiling with the listener covering cases made famous through "docu-series" such as S-Town (NPR) and The Keepers (Netflix).
- Podcast: "Dirty John"This is a fascinating series that looks at a financial predator with a history of violence. It examines how the man operates, and what it is that kept his would-be victim alive.
- Monsters (?) From the World Wars...Descriptions of monsters from WWI and WWII... this article is particularly interesting, because it shows how it's possible for witnesses to tell the truth, but not understand what it was they saw, how misunderstandings can take on a life of their own, and how even though humans are usually behind the worst monster stories, sometimes it's not because the story is based on a terrible human being, but rather based on a hilarious misunderstanding. It also puts forth other still frightening explanations...
