Killing Time
This is Killing Time with Dr. Aaron Ghering - where we analyze psychopaths so you don't have to become one. Join me each week and we’ll study some of the darkest minds humanity has to offer using clinical insights, gallows humor, and the uncomfortable truth that we're all just a few bad days away from needing our own episode. New episodes every week. Warning: This podcast may make you question your neighbor... and then yourself.
