What drives someone to become a serial killer? Is it nature, nurture, or something more sinister lurking beneath the surface?
Through a blend of psychology, true crime analysis, and thoughtful reflection, we explore the minds of history's most notorious murderers—with a specific focus on killers from the LGBTQ+ community. From Jeffrey Dahmer's disturbing crimes to the recent case of Erin Patterson (Australia's "mushroom killer"), we examine what makes these seemingly ordinary people commit extraordinary acts of violence.
The conversation reveals fascinating psychological patterns: many serial killers are driven by a complex mix of control issues, childhood trauma, and thrill-seeking behaviors. We uncover how killers like Dennis Nilsen and Steven Port specifically targeted gay men, exploiting vulnerabilities within our community. Most chillingly, we contemplate how the most dangerous predators often appear completely normal to those around them.
This isn't about glorifying these individuals, but understanding them. By recognizing warning signs and addressing root causes, perhaps we can prevent future tragedies. As we discuss: could an ordinary person snap under the right circumstances? The answer might surprise you.
Between our darker moments, we share updates on our week—including a collaboration with podcaster Danny Boy, meeting our new friend Clay, and announcing four new original songs available on all streaming platforms. Plus, we rant about our latest pet peeves from queue-jumpers to noisy pokie machines!
