Psychopedia: True Crime & Criminal Psychology

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the difficult topic of sexual abuse. Listener discretion advised.

"Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise" has taken the internet by storm, and it's easy to see why. Beyond the allegations themselves, it forces us to confront a number of uncomfortable but important conversations. In this episode we dive deep into Pearadise, the viral content house in Las Vegas built around "BBW" (Big Beautiful Women) that's igniting debates about body positivity, feederism, fetish culture, and online fame. Is Pearadise creating a space where plus-sized women can thrive and take control of their image, or is it blurring the line between empowerment and exploitation? From the business model and growing backlash to the lawsuit and allegations of sexual abuse, we examine every side of the Pearadise controversy.

The opinions expressed in this episode are my own and are based on publicly available information, court records, interviews, and other source material available at the time of recording. Where allegations of abuse, misconduct, or criminal behavior are discussed, they are presented as allegations unless they have been proven in a court of law or otherwise established by reliable evidence. This episode is intended for commentary, analysis, and educational purposes and should not be interpreted as a definitive statement of fact regarding any disputed claim.

Serial killer Paul John Knowles was desperate to leave behind a legacy and to go out in a blaze of glory. Linked to the deaths of at least 18 people, the "Casanova Killer" recorded a "kill tape" confession detailing one of the deadliest multi-state killing sprees in American history. Guilty of assault, murder, and attempted necrophilia, Paul was driven by his desire to become famous for the heinous crimes he committed. In Part 2, we continue to explore his horrific crimes and examine the psychology and criminology behind one of America's most prolific serial killers.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic abuse and child SA.  Please listen with caution.

Five wives. A revered spiritual leader. A celebrated actor whose role in Dances with Wolves made him famous around the world. For decades, Nathan Chasing Horse cultivated an image as a respected medicine man and cultural figure - but behind the scenes was a sprawling web of sexual abuse, manipulation, and control. Nathan Chasing Horse used his spiritual authority to convince followers that he possessed supernatural powers, that he could see the future, and that young girls were destined to become his wives. What emerged was a story that sounds less like a religious community and more like a cult: one built on fear, obedience, and the unchecked power of a man who was treated as untouchable — until survivors finally spoke out and brought his reign of abuse crashing down.
