| 0:00.0 | Hey, Durbin listeners, this is chapter two in our deep dive on the psychology of Josh Powell. |
| 0:06.0 | This is the Psychology and Seattle podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Khan. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm a therapist and I'm also a professor. |
| 0:12.0 | My name is Umberto Castaneda, |
