| 0:00.0 | Hey, to Zermin, listeners. Today's episode is chapter four in our deep dive on the Columbine |
| 0:06.8 | shooting and the shooters. In the last chapter, Berto, you presented a lot of information |
| 0:14.1 | that very much fleshes out the psychology of one of the shooters named Eric Harris. |
| 0:21.6 | And that gave us a chance to explore various different aspects of psychology, |
