Howard Blum Breaks Down The Latest Kohberger Evidence Since Gag-Order Lift Description: What changed after the gag order was lifted in the Bryan Kohberger case? Plenty — and in this detailed breakdown, Howard Blum walks us through the new pieces of evidence and insight that finally came to light once the court silenced no more. From the disturbing timeline of the Ka-Bar knife purchase to the now-infamous early morning phone call to Kohberger's dad, Blum connects the dots on what each new detail tells us about the suspect's planning, mindset, and potential motive. We also dig into what didn't surface — and why that matters. What was missing from the prosecution's plea statement? Why didn't we get more direct answers about motive, digital footprint, or psychological evaluations? Alongside former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we explore how the case now stands in the public record — what we know, what we suspect, and what Kohberger may still be holding back for future leverage. This is your full debrief on everything we've learned since the gag order came down — and how those new pieces might still shift public understanding of the most haunting college homicide case in recent memory.

Howard Blum Reveals What He Wants To Ask Bryan Kohberger About Crimes & Motive Description: If you had five minutes alone with Bryan Kohberger… what would you ask? In this rare, emotionally raw conversation, acclaimed journalist Howard Blum opens up about the three burning questions he'd ask Kohberger if given the chance — questions that cut to the core of this horrific crime: Why did you want to kill? Why these victims? Why now? Blum doesn't just speculate — he gives us a window into Kohberger's psyche, shaped by criminology textbooks, social failure, and an obsessive drive to matter. He explains how Kohberger's fantasy of becoming a criminal psychologist may have mutated into a monstrous need to create a case for himself — not to study, but to live. Joined by retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke, we examine whether Kohberger would ever tell the truth, if he's capable of introspection, and whether his ultimate goal was to become a peer to the people who study murderers for a living. This episode isn't about legal proceedings. It's about human darkness, and the terrifying possibility that the only way Kohberger can feel like somebody is by staying silent, controlling the narrative… and waiting for someone to come knocking with a microphone. This is the conversation behind the case — and maybe, one day, the conversation ahead. #BryanKohberger #HowardBlum #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #KohbergerInterview #KohbergerMotive #IdahoFour #KohbergerPsychology #Criminology #DarkPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Howard Blum On The 'ID Cards' Kohberger Allegedly Had From The King Road House After The Crime Description: Did Bryan Kohberger keep souvenirs from the crime scene? In this unnerving episode of Hidden Killers, author and investigative journalist Howard Blum shares what he knows — and what's still unconfirmed — about the alleged discovery of ID cards belonging to someone associated with the King Road house where four University of Idaho students were murdered. Could Kohberger have taken an ID as a twisted trophy — a psychological totem from the night of the killings? Or is the story just another fragment of rumor in a case full of haunting silence? Blum discusses why this unconfirmed piece of evidence could be “the missing connective tissue” in proving premeditation and intent. Alongside former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke, we dive into the behavioral implications of trophy-taking, the criminal pathology behind object possession, and why this detail — if proven true — could reshape the case narrative entirely. We also unpack what the gag order may have hidden, why this evidence hasn't surfaced publicly, and what it tells us about Kohberger's state of mind in the hours after the murders. If you've followed the Kohberger case closely, this is one detail you can't ignore — because if it's real, it could be the most direct link between the crime scene and the killer. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #KingRoadHouse #IDCardEvidence #TrueCrimeToday #HowardBlum #HiddenKillers #KohbergerEvidence #MoscowMurders #ForensicPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Howard Blum Thinks Bryan Kohberger Feared His Parents Would Be Implicated In Crime In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Howard Blum joins us to break down one of the most chilling theories surrounding Bryan Kohberger's last-minute guilty plea: Was he trying to protect his own parents from being dragged into the case? Blum shares exclusive insights into the behind-the-scenes tension that may have led Kohberger to fold just weeks before his scheduled trial. Did Kohberger fear his parents would be subpoenaed and forced to testify under oath? Was his sudden cooperation less about remorse and more about self-preservation — not for himself, but for his family? We also discuss the emotional weight of the sentencing day, the psychology of silence, and the terrifying possibility that Kohberger got exactly what he wanted: control of the narrative, even from a prison cell. Retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke joins the conversation to analyze how pressure, ego, and family dynamics might have influenced the plea. This episode goes deeper than courtroom coverage — it's about motive, manipulation, and how the fear of parental shame may have shaped the endgame in one of the most haunting mass murder cases in recent history. Don't miss this powerful breakdown of what really may have forced Bryan Kohberger's hand. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #HowardBlum #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #KohbergerPlea #MoscowMurders #BryanKohbergerParents #KohbergerSentencing #JusticeForTheFour #CrimePsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli Ambassador to the U.K. Mark Regev, both former advisers in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, break down Israel's rapidly evolving security landscape, where threats from the north and south exacerbate political instability at home. As the IDF strikes the brutal forces of Al-Julani, Blum and Regev unpack what's really behind Israel's intervention to protect the embattled Druze community. Is this about Israel's moral obligation, strategic deterrence or a long-term bet on future alliances? In Gaza, civilian evacuations and intensified military operations continue as delicate hostage negotiations unfold in Qatar. Could a new deal be close? Or is Hamas once again stalling for time? The hosts scrutinize the risks and paradoxes facing Israeli decision-makers: How do you balance rescuing 50 remaining hostages with minimizing IDF casualties and eradicating Hamas once and for all? Back in Jerusalem, Netanyahu faces not only war on multiple fronts, but also legal troubles and a brewing coalition collapse over ultra-Orthodox military service. With a government on the brink and elections possibly around the corner, Blum and Regev ask: Can Netanyahu govern through crisis, or is the clock ticking?

Howard Blum Breaks Down Everything He Now Believes About The Bryan Kohberger Case – Full Interview Description: This is the full unfiltered conversation with Howard Blum, NYT bestselling author of When the Night Comes Falling, and it's nothing short of explosive. In this episode, we dive into every angle of the Bryan Kohberger case — from the emotional fractures inside the Kohberger family to the courtroom strategies, from the psychological portrait of the accused to the uncomfortable questions still left unanswered. Blum brings fresh reporting and bold theories: what Bryan may have said to his parents just hours after the killings, how his father may have started putting the pieces together during their cross-country drive, and why the plea deal might not be justice — but a quiet form of surrender by the state of Idaho. He also details Kohberger's possible motivations, his alleged obsession with Madison Mogen, and how Dr. Katherine Ramsland — Kohberger's professor and a leading expert on serial killers — may have been part of the psychological fuel that drove him. You'll also hear insight from Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, who helps decode the micro-signals in Kohberger's behavior, from his strange post-murder selfie to his failed alibi strategy. This is the definitive breakdown — equal parts legal, emotional, and forensic — of one of the most haunting cases in modern true crime. If you want to understand who Bryan Kohberger is, what he may have planned next, and why this case has left so many still searching for closure — start here.

Why Was Madison Mogen The Target of Kohberger? Howard Blum Explains Description: Among the most chilling questions in the Bryan Kohberger case is why Madison Mogen — of all the victims — may have been the primary target. In this deeply unsettling episode, investigative journalist Howard Blum joins Hidden Killers to unpack his exclusive theory: that Maddie Mogen didn't just symbolize something to Kohberger — she represented everything he believed he was denied. Blum explores the alleged fixation Kohberger may have developed on Maddie: her appearance, her joy, her effortless connection to others — all of it, a rebuke to his own social alienation. She was the kind of person he could never be close to. And, in Blum's words, he believed if he couldn't exist in her world, she shouldn't be allowed to either. We retrace the alleged events of that night — Kohberger circling the King Road house not once, but three times, before finally working up the will to approach. Blum details how Kohberger appeared fixated on entering Maddie's room, passing other sleeping victims on the way — and how everything unraveled when he found not one, but two people inside: Maddie and Kaylee. The attack that followed was violent, unrestrained, and ultimately left behind the knife sheath that became the smoking gun. Joined by Robin Dreeke, we also explore whether this was truly a single-target fantasy turned spree, or whether Kohberger was already walking the path of serial escalation — and what Maddie's symbolic power in his mind says about the dark psychology behind targeted murder.

Was Bryan Kohberger An Incel? Howard Blum Breaks It Down Description: Was Bryan Kohberger motivated by ideology, obsession, or something even more psychologically fractured? In this provocative episode, NYT bestselling author Howard Blum joins us to explore a question that's been quietly lurking behind the headlines since the Idaho murders first made national news: Was Kohberger operating from an incel mindset? And if so, how deeply did that influence his alleged actions? We're not talking about forums and usernames — we're talking about ideology. The belief system of someone who sees themselves as permanently rejected, isolated, and entitled to vengeance. Blum shares his view that Kohberger didn't need to be part of an incel community to think like one. His behavioral profile, obsessions with power and control, and his apparent fixation on Maddie Mogen may point to a rage rooted in rejection — and a mindset that made her very existence feel like a personal attack. Blum walks us through Kohberger's transformation — from socially isolated and heroin-addicted to physically obsessed and academically fixated. This was a man who reinvented himself not out of growth, but out of fury. A man who may have viewed Maddie as the symbol of everything he could never be part of — and therefore, someone who had to be destroyed. With Robin Dreeke's behavioral analysis sharpening the psychological edges, this conversation dives into dangerous territory: how toxic masculinity, obsessive isolation, and a hunger for control may converge to produce something monstrous. And how one-sided obsession can turn fatal — especially when it festers in silence.

Howard Blum Reveals New Details Of Kohberger's Car Ride To PA With His Dad Description: In one of the most chilling post-crime journeys in recent memory, Bryan Kohberger and his father drove nearly 2,500 miles cross-country from Pullman, Washington to Albrightsville, Pennsylvania — shoulder to shoulder, in the same white Hyundai Elantra investigators were scrambling to identify. In this episode, Howard Blum breaks down what really happened in that car, and why the trip might have been more than just a holiday homecoming. It might've been a slow-motion psychological unraveling. Blum reveals exclusive insights into what Michael Kohberger may have noticed during the ride: his son's erratic behavior, route changes due to apparent paranoia, and the moment they were stopped by police not once — but twice. Why didn't the father ask questions? Did he already suspect something? Or was this an episode of quiet denial playing out across state lines? With Robin Dreeke offering a behavioral read on the body language and emotional tension of the ride, this episode explores how Michael Kohberger — a man who had already seen his son battle heroin addiction, weight loss obsession, and social dysfunction — may have begun to put the pieces together too late. Was the drive east a form of emotional containment, or the beginning of an internal reckoning for a father watching his son spiral? We examine the guilt, the confusion, and the quiet dread of a parent who may have realized too late that the son sitting next to him might be a killer — and why that ride may now become a pivotal chapter in the larger story of this case.

Howard Blum Breaks Down What He Believes Kohberger Said To His Parents The Morning Of The Idaho Tragedy Description: In this gripping episode, NYT bestselling author and investigative journalist Howard Blum joins Hidden Killers to dissect a moment that could hold the emotional key to understanding the entire Bryan Kohberger case: a 6 a.m. phone call made just hours after the University of Idaho murders, from Bryan to a phone registered to his father, Michael Kohberger. What was said on that call? Why does it matter? And how did it shape everything that followed — from the legal strategy to the plea deal? According to Blum's exclusive reporting, Bryan may have spent the bulk of that conversation speaking to his mother, and the contents of the call sent ripples through the family that changed the course of the case. Blum walks us through what his sources revealed about the emotional state of the Kohberger household, and how the mother's refusal to accept a guilty plea — possibly based on what was said during that call — may have delayed the prosecution's path forward. This episode doesn't just unpack speculation. It connects the behavioral shifts, the timeline of events, and the ripple effect that one 54-minute call may have had on the lives of everyone involved — including the defense's strategic collapse and the looming threat of testimony from the parents themselves. With Robin Dreeke offering behavioral insight and Tony Brueski guiding the conversation, we explore how the most private conversation of Kohberger's life may become one of the most revealing.

Howard Blum Breaks Down What He Believes Kohberger Said To His Parents The Morning Of The Idaho Tragedy Description: In this gripping episode, NYT bestselling author and investigative journalist Howard Blum joins Hidden Killers to dissect a moment that could hold the emotional key to understanding the entire Bryan Kohberger case: a 6 a.m. phone call made just hours after the University of Idaho murders, from Bryan to a phone registered to his father, Michael Kohberger. What was said on that call? Why does it matter? And how did it shape everything that followed — from the legal strategy to the plea deal? According to Blum's exclusive reporting, Bryan may have spent the bulk of that conversation speaking to his mother, and the contents of the call sent ripples through the family that changed the course of the case. Blum walks us through what his sources revealed about the emotional state of the Kohberger household, and how the mother's refusal to accept a guilty plea — possibly based on what was said during that call — may have delayed the prosecution's path forward. This episode doesn't just unpack speculation. It connects the behavioral shifts, the timeline of events, and the ripple effect that one 54-minute call may have had on the lives of everyone involved — including the defense's strategic collapse and the looming threat of testimony from the parents themselves. With Robin Dreeke offering behavioral insight and Tony Brueski guiding the conversation, we explore how the most private conversation of Kohberger's life may become one of the most revealing.

Megyn Kelly gives her instant analysis reaction to the monumental news that Diddy has been found not guilty on the most serious charges he was up against, the two guilty verdicts he did receive, and more. Then she's joined by legal experts Arthur Aidala and Phil Holloway to talk about why the not guilty verdict in most of the counts is a huge win for Diddy, the way the defendant celebrated the ruling, why this might have been predicted given the way the trial developed, Diddy's outrageous actions in the courtroom after the verdict was read, whether the jury got it wrong, and more. Then we turn to the live Bryan Kohberger plea hearing with Howard Blum, author of "When the Night Comes Falling," and legal expert Matt Murphy join to discuss the depravity of the Idaho murders as Kohberger takes a plea deal, the disconnect between the prosecution and the victim's families, whether this feels like justice for the victims, the most extraordinary moments during the plea hearing, the prosecution's failure to pursue the death penalty after insisting they had the evidence for it, questions around the ethics of the decision to allow the plea to happen, the anger at least one Idaho victim family feels at the prosecution, the prosecutor's performative tearing up while talking, the judge mispronouncing the name of one of the victims, speculation that Kohberger wanted the plea deal to save his parents from testifying, whether Kohberger might be able to get out of jail eventually, and more. Aidala- https://am970theanswer.com/radioshow/the-arthur-aidala-power-hourHolloway- https://www.youtube.com/c/philiphollowayMurphy- https://www.amazon.com/Book-Murder-Prosecutors-Journey-Through/dp/1368104061Blum- https://www.harpercollins.com/products/when-the-night-comes-falling-howard-blum Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.Byrna: Go to https://Byrna.com or your local Sportsman's Warehouse today.Just Thrive: Visit https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/Megyn and use code MEGYN to save 20% sitewideTuttle Twins: Go to https://TuttleTwins.com/history todayFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

White noise has a very precise technical definition, but people use the term loosely, to describe all sorts of washes of sound—synthetic hums, or natural sounds like a rainstorm or crashing waves—that can be used to mask other sounds. Twenty years ago, if you'd told someone white noise was a regular part of your life, they would have found that unusual. Nowadays, it's likely they use it themselves or know someone who does. The global white noise business is valued at $1.3 billion; TikTok is full of people trumpeting its powers; and Spotify users alone listen to three million hours of it daily. Far more of these sounds already exist than any one person could need—or use. And yet, more keep coming.  Looking out at this uncanny ocean of seemingly indistinguishable noises, we wanted to see if it was possible to put a human face on it; to understand why there is so much of it, and what motivates the people trying to soothe our desperate ears with sounds you're not really supposed to hear. In this episode, you'll hear from Elan Ullendorff, who writes the illuminating Substack Escape the Algorithm; Stéphane Pigeon, founder of myNoise; Brandon Reed, who runs Dwellspring; and Mack Haygood, author of Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control and host of the podcast Phantom Power.
