“Blood is red, corpses are blue… I have a killer crush on you.”That was Amanda Taylor’s response when I asked her if she would be my killer Valentine.In this Valentine’s Day special, we step into the unsettling space where love, notoriety, and violence intersect.Known in the media as The Selfie Killer, Amanda speaks candidly about prison fame, fan mail, and the strange reality of becoming a symbol instead of a person. We explore how the media can manufacture celebrity out of crime… and how some people don’t fall in love with the individual — they fall in love with the myth.Why are people drawn to killers?What is it about danger that becomes romanticized?When admiration replaces reality, what are they really seeing?Behind bars, every letter carries a question:Is this connection real… or is it fascination with infamy?This conversation isn’t about glorification. It’s about examining the psychology of obsession, myth-making, and the uncomfortable truth about our cultural attraction to darkness.Love can blind.Fame can distort.And sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t violence — it’s the fantasy built around it.

Keith Rovere sits down with renowned psychiatrist and prison mental-health expert Dr. Terry Kupers to examine the psychological cost of solitary confinement.Dr. Kupers has spent decades working inside prisons and studying the mental health effects of isolation. Together, we discuss how solitary confinement impacts the human brain, why it often worsens mental illness, and what happens when isolation becomes a form of psychological punishment rather than rehabilitation.This conversation goes beyond crime statistics and punishment theory, focusing instead on the human consequences of long-term isolation — including anxiety, depression, psychosis, and lasting trauma. We also explore why solitary confinement continues to be used despite mounting evidence of its harm, and what alternatives may exist.This episode is not about sensational crimes — it’s about understanding the mind, the system, and the people affected by it.

When we hear the word psychopath, we tend to think of monsters and murderers. But what if psychopathy is far more common—and far more subtle—than we realize?In this solo episode, I explore psychopathy outside the realm of homicide. No serial killers. No crime scene tape. Instead, we take a hard look at the fearless, emotionally detached individuals who walk among us every day—often unnoticed, and sometimes highly successful.We break down the difference between emotional empathy and cognitive empathy, why some people feel no fear or anxiety, and how traits associated with psychopathy can show up in everyday life: business, relationships, risk-taking, leadership, and even admiration. Are these traits always dangerous—or can they be adaptive?This episode challenges what you think you know about psychopathy and asks an uncomfortable question:What if the most dangerous assumption is that psychopaths are easy to spot?No gore. No glorification. Just psychology, behavior, and a deeper look at the human mind
