  • I pray you got rid of your co-host

    This is the first review I’ve ever left. And I’ve been listening to apple podcast since No Agenda was first on here. I had my que set up with a bunch of your podcasts.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show leans into the psychology behind violent crime, going beyond what happened to explore why cases unfold the way they do. Episodes thread together case details, investigative angles, and survivor or victim perspectives, often weaving legal outcomes, forensic trails, and moral questions about motive, consequence, and the line between ordinary life and exceptional violence. The format combines thorough research, narrative storytelling, and occasional cultural or societal context, with a recent shift offering exclusive mini-episodes for subscribers. It stands out for its focus on motive and context, not just the crime itself, and for producing long-form, case-driven episodes that balance meticulous detail with accessible storytelling.
