MonsterTalk - Skeptical Cryptozoology Podcast
Caffiene:
Holy crap, two episodes within a week... I think this is one of the signs of the end times.
New Episode - Qu'est Que C'est?
Remorseless killers are the stuff of countless films. Sadly, the real world has even more of them. Jack the Ripper, Ted Bundy, H. H. Holmes, John Wayne Gacy—these remorseless psychopaths filled graveyards with corpses and sleeping minds with nightmares. But these aren’t monsters—they’re real people who have a brain that developed differently than most peoples. Author Jon Ronson joins us on this episode of MonsterTalk to discuss the condition of psychopathy—and to share with us his journey into the world of these dangerous people.

I've recently read The Psychopath Test and highly recommend it to everyone. It's a quick read, I got through it in a day. Though to be fair, that was a day of me sat in an airport and plane, so had lots of free time.

Yeah, Jon Ronson's books I tend to find are like that... I picked up Them to flip through at a bookstore once and ended up reading 2/3 of it before left the store :P Just something about his style that makes everything feel light and easy to read. Same with the podcast, actually... turning talking about psychopaths into sounding like a cheerful chat, at least to my ears.

Ronson is always a delight to listen to.

And I agree. See Badlands. If only for 1) the sound track 2) what movies were like before CGI and everyone had a cell phone.
