When a Killer Explains Himself: Insight, Remorse, or Both?
Monday, 7 September, 2026

This episode uses Mindhunter's dramatized conversation between a young FBI agent and Ed Kemper to explore a deceptively simple question: does explaining your own violence in calm, articulate detail mean you actually feel anything about it? Drawing on research into psychopathic communication and impression management, the discussion breaks down why fluent self-analysis can come across as honesty even when remorse is absent. It closes by asking what we're really measuring when we find a killer's account of himself convincing.
