About this listen

Episode one examines sudden, unplanned violence when ordinary people reach their breaking point. Featured cases include Clara Harris, a respected Texas dentist who ran over her cheating husband repeatedly in a hotel parking lot, and a London couple whose IKEA furniture assembly argument escalated to fatal stabbing. Host Raven Thorne explains the neuroscience of "snapping"—how amygdala hijacks override rational thought, why accumulated stress creates pressure cooker effects, and how rage thresholds exist in everyone. The episode explores why people describe these moments as blackouts, why triggering events seem disproportionately small, and how reality television has normalized watching explosive emotional breakdowns as entertainment.
