Why are humans obsessed with serial killers, disasters, and true crime?
Dr. Coltan Scrivner is one of the world's leading researchers on morbid curiosity. We unpack the psychology behind our darkest fascinations: why millions binge true crime content, why women consume more of it than men, and whether our obsession with death and danger is a flaw or an evolutionary advantage.
If you've ever found yourself unable to stop watching a true crime documentary at midnight, this is why.
We cover:
What morbid curiosity actually is (and why you almost certainly have it)
The evolutionary reason your brain is drawn to threat and uncertainty
Why women consume more true crime than men — and what that tells us
The psychology of serial killers and mass disasters
What your obsession with dark content reveals about who you are
