Decoding Crime and Culture Podcast
This podcast is hosted by two first generation American born Millennial therapists who are equally true crime, forensic psychology and macabre obsessed. This podcast explores deep into the intricate web of society, human behavior, and the systems that shape the world around us. In each episode, we'll navigate through the layers of stories that often remain hidden beneath the surface because by decoding the complex narratives that intertwine crime and culture, we can better understand the forces that influence our collective psyche.
