Back in early 2020 I sat down with Erin Kearns to talk about her fascinating research on why terrorists lie. Back then I thought this was going to be one of many more Talking Terror episodes for an upcoming series. However, since then for a multitude of reasons there has not been an opportunity to concentrate on developing the third series. But it would be a shame for this episode never to see the light of day. Erin gives great insight here on her research, insight that I know you will enjoy.

Since the recording of this episode Erin has moved to join the excellent team at NCITE in the University of Nebraska Omaha. 

Hopefully one day soon there will be a new Talking Terror series. But until that day please enjoy this lost episode.
