Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?

0:39.0

I am doing fantastic today, Tim. Mostly because our guest who we have on today

0:43.0

brings a lot of knowledge, brings a lot of passion. She's a real powerhouse.

0:47.0

But before we get to that, Tim, your real powerhouse, how does that feel? How you doing?

0:51.0

Thanks for asking Lance. I am doing great today. I'm very excited to introduce this conversation

0:57.0

that we had with Dr. Michelle Ward, who is a criminal psychologist and a clinical

1:04.0

neuroscientist. She has her own podcast and has been on TV a lot and we have a great conversation with her.

1:11.0

We really do and I love it when people of her stature can join the show and bring not only all of this knowledge

1:36.0

But overall, I'd classify this conversation as a bit provocative.

1:39.0

And we do talk a little bit about serial killers and Jeffrey Dahmer and more because Dr. Ward

1:46.0

has a show called Mind of a Monster that is airing now and they go into Jeffrey Dahmer on that show.

1:52.0

And that show is really a fascinating look at Jeffrey Dahmer if you want to get a real life account of his crimes.

1:57.0

But Tim, if people want to get a real life account of every episode we've done without commercials or ads

2:03.0

or any sort of breaks, where would they find that?
