  Columbine Part 3: The Legacy

  Jun 23, 20251h 22mS1

  Columbine didn’t end when the gunfire stopped. In the years that followed, the tragedy took on a life of its own—shaped by media myths, martyr stories, and a culture that sometimes blurs the line between curiosity and glorification. In this episode, I unpack the aftermath. The copycat crimes. The “Columbine effect.” The haunting legacy that Eric and Dylan left behind—and how it still shows up today.<br />I also share the voices of those most impacted, including Marilyn Manson and Dylan’s mother, Sue Klebold, who stepped forward with a message shaped by unimaginable grief and hard-earned insight.<br...

  Columbine Pt 1: Before the fire

  May 24, 20251h 2mS1

  <p>Long before the gunfire and headlines, there were journals, warning signs, and choices. In this episode, I go back—before the massacre at Columbine High School—to examine the lives of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Who were they really? Were they bullied outcasts, psychopaths in the making, or something else entirely? I’ll walk you through their friendships, their online footprints, their disturbing journals, and the chilling preparations that led up to April 20, 1999. This isn’t about excusing what they did—it’s about understanding how they got there. Because the warning signs were there. And they were loud.</p><br...
