Some stories just hit different. Welcome to The Dark Finds Podcast, hosted by writer, true crime creator, and psychology enthusiast Gary Colton. Each episode takes you deep into the world of those who’ve lived through — or created — something extraordinary. From fighters, musicians, and war veterans to cult survivors, ex-cons, psychologists, and entrepreneurs, we explore the lives of people who exist on the edge of the norm. Through honest, often raw conversations, we uncover their journeys, insights, struggles, and what drives them.

At its core, Dark Finds is fueled by one obsession: understanding human behavior in all its forms.

  • Jack El-Hai | Can Evil Be Measured? Inside the Mind of Nazi Psychology
    Apr 10 2026

    Today’s episode takes us into one of the most unsettling intersections of history and morality, where science, power, and ideology collide. I’m joined by author and historian Jack El-Hai, whose work explores some of the darkest chapters of the modern world. We explore the story of Dr. Douglas Kelley, his role in psychologically evaluating Nazi leadership, his eventual decline, and what it reveals about proximity to darkness. If you’ve seen Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe, it was based on Jack’s book, The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, where humanity was forced to confront evil not as myth, but as something deeply human. We also delve into another area of Jack’s work, the history of lobotomies, examining the ethical boundaries of medical experimentation, and the fragile line between treatment and control.

  • Bonus Episode | The Depravity Iceberg
    Apr 1 2026

    Welcome to Layer One of the Depravity Iceberg, where we begin peeling back the surface of human darkness. In this five-part series, we break down real-life criminal cases and rank them based on intent, victim vulnerability, scale of harm, cruelty, and remorse . Layer One represents the entry point. Cases that shocked the public, dominated headlines, and revealed the early signs of something far more disturbing beneath the surface. From calculated violence to emotional detachment, these are the crimes that introduce us to the spectrum of depravity, but this is only the beginning. As the series progresses, each layer descends deeper into manipulation, sadism, and unimaginable acts.

  • Eoghan Cleary | Raised by Algorithms: How Porn and AI Are Rewriting Childhood
    Mar 20 2026

    There was a time when childhood unfolded slowly. Conversations happened face to face. Curiosity built over years. And ideas about relationships, intimacy, and identity were shaped gradually, through experience, through awkward conversations, and through real life.


    Today, that timeline has collapsed. In a matter of seconds, a teenager with a smartphone can access a world that was never designed for them. A world driven by algorithms, by dopamine, by content that doesn’t just reflect reality, but distorts it. And the question we have to ask is this: what happens when an entire generation learns about sex, relationships, and human connection from the internet?


    Well, in this episode, I’m joined by Irish educator and researcher Eoghan Cleary, a man working on the front lines of this shift. We delve into the early exposure to pornography among teenagers, the increasingly violent and addictive nature of online content, and how social media, and now AI, are actively shaping sexual norms in real time. We talk about regulation, responsibility, and whether society is moving fast enough to protect young people, or if we’re already too late.
