A true crime podcast with a difference: created and hosted by a psychology and criminology PhD researcher, specialising in stalking. Each week I will cover a different case of stalking, while offering insight into the psychology behind it, what types of stalkers there are and what motivates them. I also recommend movies and TV shows that give the best portrayals of stalkers and other personality disorders.
