  • Megan ugh

    I’ve been listening to Campus Killings for a long time but have become increasingly annoyed by Megan. I stopped following their other podcast for the same reason and I’m throwing the towel in on this one.

  • Very Good podcast...I Have Only One 'Complaint'.

    When I first began listening to this podcast, I thought how interesting it would be when, eventually, they switch roles, and Meghan would take over the 'storytelling' responsibility from Amy. Obviously that 'switch up' is not the format here (and that's not actually my one complaint).

    I do find the topic/theme of the podcast to be interesting, and so I continue to listen, and of course accept that Meghan remains solely in a supporting role here.

    And I very much appreciate Meghan's 'interject... more

  • New Pod +

    This is a very good pod by two terrific professionals in the field of criminology. I am a subscriber to their other podcast, Women and Crime, which is great, but wish that subscription carried to this one. Fast forwarding of ads works tho.

    To all the fragile white dudes who take issue with facts that affect us daily I suggest a little trip through a history book. You could benefit from this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sis Linn
Q: What are your thoughts on campus carry policies?
The hosts find it a complex issue—balancing personal autonomy and public safety. While some feel the need to protect themselves, the presence of firearms in classrooms can be alarming.
Betsy Aardsma Part 2 of 2
Q: How does David Dekok believe he found a killer?
He publicized strange behaviors of Rick Hafner, who had been seen near Betsy's murder scene and had a history of problematic behavior towards minors.
Ted Streleski
Q: What do you mean? So they said in order for him to be granted early release on parole, he would have to number one, agree to therapy?
He would not agree to those terms and ended up serving his full sentence of just seven years.
Ted Streleski
Q: Are you going to go for like an insanity defense here?
While Ted's defense attorney entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Ted denied that this was true and said he was completely sane.
Bayard Peakes
Q: What happened after Bayard received the cease and desist letter?
Instead of making him rethink his theories, it actually caused him to snap and plan a violent act against the American Physical Society.
