On Killer Psyche, retired FBI agent Candice DeLong draws on her decades of experience to reveal why these murderers and criminals committed these heinous acts. She will reveal fascinating new details about what drove these people, including cases she was close to. Candice will share specific psychological methods and profiling techniques that experts use to understand the deepest part of the most complex, fascinating, and twisted minds, from the Unabomber to Alex Murdaugh to Mary Bell.

TRUE CRIME
Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

TRUE CRIME
You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out. Follow Scam Factory on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too. Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky premieres on 2/18. Join Wondery+ to listen early and ad-free.

I wondered how much detail the reports would contain within such short episodes and quickly realized that there are FAR more intricate and entertaining versions of these same cases on other podcasts. Personally, I love a deep dive and Dan Cummins from the podcast Timesuck does an excellent job with both true crime and historical events. His episode on the Tylenol Murders exceeds the version on Killer Psyches by leaps and bounds. He has researchers and fact checkers on staff to ensure accuracy of the material reported. If your own psyche is too precious to handle some pretty intense profanity, skip Timesuck and check out the podcast Serial Killers. They also do deep dives into popular and not so well known serial killers while focusing on psychology of the perpetrators. Killer Psyches is produced as a digestible tidbit for the average listener with a short attention span. I think cases like these carry more weight than can be covered in 40 minutes. Plus, Candice’s voice is like sandpaper on my brain. Her journalism affect is irritating. Also, there are So Many ADS. And guess what - even on the supposedly ad-free Amazon Music platform there are still ads! They call them “sponsors.” Ad, commercial, sponsor… those are synonyms.
Older episodes interesting, but losing interest

Covering John Wilkes Booth was a stretch. Running out of contemporary material...?
Fantastic podcast!!

One of the best True Crime podcasts by far! Nothing better than hearing from those with lived experiences. Candice is empathetic, intelligent and captivating. (Side note, I’m listening to the back log of episodes for the 3 time and the episodes are off by 3. Example, season 2, first episode about Amy Bishop, episode#22. I had to select episode #25 to hear it. The library is off or something)
