Why?
The podcast for curious minds. Every Thursday, Emma Kennedy delves into the science and psychology of why we are the way we are.

Find out all of this and more on Why? from the makers of Oh God, What Now?, The Bunker and Paper Cuts.

Many of us are obsessed with true crime documentaries and podcasts, and actively seek out the most gruesome details of horrific murder, torture and kidnapping. It’s all pretty horrible – so why are we drawn to it? Does ‘evil’ really exist – and if so, what does it look like? Are people born evil...
