Podcasts about bad people

Is violence caused by “bad people,” too many guns, or something deeper? In this episode, University of Chicago researcher Jens Ludwig reveals why most violent acts stem not from evil intent but from ordinary people in unforgiving situations. We explore how behavior, context, metacognition, and split-second decision-making shape violent outcomes — and why small, scalable interventions like pocket parks, foot traffic, and reflective thinking can dramatically reduce harm. If you care about safer communities, more innovative policymaking, or just want to understand human behavior better, our conversation with Jens will forever reshape how you view violence.

Psalm 73

In 45 years of ministry, I don't believe anyone has ever asked me, "why do good things happen to bad people?" The Psalmist asked it this way, "Why do the wicked prosper?" Have you ever wondered that? Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to discover the answer so that you will not envy wicked people.Scripture Used in Today's MessagePsalm 73To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher

We look at an ordinary day of baseball, May 8, 1949, and some extraordinary—and tragic—things that happened. First, a couple of good pitchers get shelled, then we witness some typically disposable regular season games before noticing a young woman who was treated as if she too were disposable, though she very much was not.Trigger Warning: The second half of this episode contains discussion of a violent crime and some images may be disturbing.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Series: I Have Questions | WHY DO GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD PEOPLE by Chevian Breedt

When someone on your team drops the ball or a client misses a deadline, it's tempting to write them off as disorganized or unmotivated. This snap judgment feels natural - after all, if they cared enough, they'd follow through, right? In today's episode, I'm unpacking the fundamental attribution error - a cognitive bias that makes us blame people's character instead of examining the broken systems they're working within. I'll show you how well-designed workflows can transform your team's performance and why investing in better systems beats endless hiring cycles every time.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: agileattorney.com/91Take your law practice from overwhelmed to optimized with Greenline LegalFollow along on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/johnegrant

Poul Anderson's 1961 novel Three Hearts and Three Lions is one of the cornerstone influences on Dungeons and Dragons: a medieval-inflected romp through creature encounters and chivalric romance, featuring the world's most terrifying version of troll. Jack and Kate, our paladins of pulp, armor up and prepare to do battle with a veritable monster manual of menace in this month's book. What makes old D&D art so damn compelling? How does Nazi-punching figure into this fantasy adventure? Why is this sword named after the virtual assistant inside my Microsoft device? All these questions–plus a lengthy digression on enormous tomes–and more will be explored on this episode of Bad Books for Bad People.

his week on The Thought SNOB Podcast, Paula delves deeper into her viral topic, which garnered over 3.5 million views on TikTok—how to distinguish between good and bad people. And here's the truth: befriending someone's abuser is not normal. It's betrayal, plain and simple. In this episode, Paula discusses why keeping people like that in your life can be toxic and how to peacefully—but firmly—cut ties, regardless of who they are. Paula also shares a nontraditional solution that's worked wonders in her own life: visualization. When you visualize the outcome you want, you reclaim your power and stop giving your energy away to people who don't deserve it. Tune in for this raw, unfiltered conversation about protecting your energy, recognizing red flags, and cultivating healthier relationships.

We're back in studio, back from our trip and we are grateful for all those who listened, called, texted and organized this tour for our shows! We're kicking things off with a vote of gratitude to US Congressman Tony Weid for taking on the true concerns of the people and protecting four words in The Constitution. State Rep. Robyn Vining has made her announcement that she is running for State Senate in an attempt to push the Democrats towards a majority in that chamber. Then, The Felon President's plan to deport over a million people a year isn't very popular, maybe because some of those being disappeared and denied re-entry are Trump supporters and 82 year old green card holders. And next on that list: US Citizens who don't fit the "MAGA Doctrine". As always, thank you for listening, texting and calling, we couldn't do this without you!

Congress Launches ‘Epstein Files Transparency Act' As Trump Deems Case ‘Boring' & Claims Only ‘Bad People' Or ‘Fake News' Are Concerned

Americans are constantly arguing about politics—on the internet and at the family dinner table. But we rarely change one another's minds, and we often emerge from those disagreements feeling frustrated and distrustful. Host Alex Lovit is joined by research psychologist Keith Payne to discuss the science behind the political divide and how the psychology of political disagreements can help us have more productive political conversations. Keith Payne is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. He is the author of The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die and Good Reasonable People: The Psychology Behind America's Dangerous Divide.

In this episode, we speak with Mark Dapin. Dapin is a veteran true crime writer, with a career including a stint as editor of the lad mag Ralph - but also as a columnist for Good Weekend. He has spent many, many hours with infamous hardened criminals, and now - for a story in the current issue of Good Weekend - has flipped sides to see through the eyes of aspiring police officers. Dapin - an irreverent but incisive and insightful writer - joins us today for a chat about that piece, but also the wild popularity of the true crime genre more generally, touching on his own encounters with the likes of hit man Chopper Read, and con man Jack Karlson (of “succulent Chinese meal” fame). And hosting this conversation - about kidnappers and murderers, and the darkness in us all - is Good Weekend acting editor Greg Callaghan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is it possible for someone who doesn't have faith in Jesus to do something more Christ-like than a Christian? This is what we discuss through one of the most popular parables Jesus ever told. We also discuss the book of Daniel and how the proper understanding might be different than we've ever heard. 

Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement joins Sam to celebrate Women’s History Month and talks about how she’d rather be with good people in a dark place than bad people in a bright place and how Tesla cybertrucks are the only things that make them laugh these days. Sam and Tarana discuss how so many people in the administration are credibly accused of sexual violence and what to do when funding and policies for life-changing work are in jeopardy. They commiserate over the chokehold Amazon Prime has over them, what it’s like to run a global organization when the US acts like it doesn’t care about the rest of the world, and how we can do more together than apart.
