Summary

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, confused or angry about the high-profile court cases going on at the moment… this is the episode for you.

Today, we’re joined by criminal behavioural analyst and creator of The Crime Analyst podcast - Laura Richards. She came in to help us unpack and understand the media and public conversation around the high profile cases of Sean Diddy Combs, Blake Likely vs Justin Baldoni, Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard and Russell Brand.

Laura trained at New Scotland Yard and the FBI Behavioural Analysis Units and is an international expert on domestic violence, stalking, sexual violence, homicide and risk assessment.

Laura breaks down what’s happening inside these high profile courtrooms and with her expertise in coercive control, power dynamics and the criminal justice system, she helps us understand how these cases reflect misogyny, victim-blaming and institutional failure. We also explore how these stories are framed, how narratives are manipulated, and how society often protects the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable.

0:00.0	This is an advertisement from Better Help. There is, unfortunately, still a huge stigma around men's
0:06.2	mental health. And too often, men are kind of expected to be strong and not express how they're
0:12.7	feeling. But I think we all know that ignoring mental health does not make it go away. It just
0:17.4	makes things harder. It's really, really important that we encourage the people in our
0:21.5	lives to find help and open up about their mental health and let them know that it's okay to struggle
0:27.5	and it's okay to ask for and accept help. Taking care of our mental health is one of the most
0:32.8	powerful things that we can do, not just for ourselves, but for all the people around us and the people
0:37.8	that we care about. Whether it's talking to a friend, opening up to a loved one or speaking
0:42.6	with a therapist, everyone deserves support. And as the largest online therapy provider in the

1:33.1	It's called mistresses, and it's not your typical history lesson.
1:35.9	Guests who hosts this podcast, the feminist icon, previous should I delete that guest, Jamila Jamil and historian Kate Lister.
