Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

213. "The Mother Next Door" with Detective Mike Weber
Q: Can you explain the sort of analogy that you make with pedophilic disorder to the audience so they can kind of understand what we're talking about?

AI could both facilitate new forms of crime and aid law enforcement in investigations, but it must be used responsibly.
211. Behind the Couch: Crime in the Media with Women & Crime
