PODCASTS REFERENCED; FOR STUDY & CRIME PREVENTION PURPOSES
* Cold Podcast: I was addicted to this for a while. The true story of Josh Powell, a narcissist who emotionally manipulated his wife for years, then brutally and horrifically murdered her, got away with the murder, then went on to kill himself and two toddler sons. It's a gut-wrenching story, but I found it important to hear, as if it were a violence-prevention guide of its own accord.
* Hell & Gone Podcast: Arkansas holds deadly secrets, and many of them lie in - yet again - men in authority not doing their jobs
* Man In The Window: Podcast about the serial killer who could have been caught long before he raped & murdered myriad women, (as well as a few dogs) had men in authority simply done their jobs
