Episode #33
Psycho Murder Mashup
In this special Best of Pod Candy episode, Stacey and Dori revisit some of their most unforgettable psychological deep dives, with forensic psychologist Dr. John Mayer helping unpack the minds, motives and behaviors behind the stories. From the astonishing nine-year catfishing deception at the center of Sweet Bobby and the disturbing abuse scandal explored in Surviving Ohio State , to the mysterious disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley , the mother behind Unknown Number: The High School Catfish , and the lasting effects of childhood trauma on former child star Corey Feldman , this mashup explores just how complicated human behavior can become. The conversation also revisits the elaborate Hollywood fraud of Zach Horowitz in Hollywood Hustler: Glitz, Glam, Scam and the horrifying double life of Jared Fogle , examining how predators, manipulators and con artists gain trust, create convincing alternate realities and sometimes hide in plain sight. It’s a collection of some of Pod Candy’s most compelling conversations about true crime, psychology, trauma, deception and the darker side of human behavior... all in one episode.
