  • Ep 284 - The Psychology of Crime with Roanna Bond
    Mar 7 2026

    Ep 284 is loose! Werewolves, cannibals, by-standers and narcissists - we tackle them all in this very special bumper bonus episode with guest Roanna Bond.

    This week we dive into the psychology and pathology of some of the strangest crimes and criminal acts we've covered on the show with psychotherapist Roanna to consider why people continue to be drawn to true crime, what causes by-stander apathy and whether or not any of us would eat each other for a snack...


    While we try to keep things light, some of the subject matter discusses is dark and maybe uncomfortable for some listeners.

    Enjoy this dive into the dark side of our mind!
