The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil examines the disturbing case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three young children, and the critical question at the center of the case: Were warning signs of a severe postpartum mental health crisis missed? He breaks down postpartum psychosis, how it differs from postpartum depression and the “baby blues,” and the potentially dangerous symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, extreme insomnia, disorganized thinking, and loss of contact with reality. As the defense prepares to argue that postpartum psychosis and multiple psychiatric medications contributed to the tragedy, prosecutors are expected to point to Clancy’s alleged planning and coordination as evidence she understood her actions. His analysis focuses on the larger question beyond the courtroom: When a new mother shows escalating red flags, who is responsible for recognizing the danger and acting before it is too late?

Everyone knows the Idaho murders. Tonight, you meet Kaylee's mother. Kristi Goncalves is the one who got the knock on the door ... the one who asked the deputy if the other girl was Maddie, her daughter's best friend. Tonight, she tells her story in her own voice: the online trolls who wounded her most, the plea deal her family fought, and the moment she looked her daughter's killer in the eye and told him hell would be waiting. But this isn't only a story about loss ... it's about what she built from it. In her darkest days, a stranger started sending her cards, one mom to another. Out of that friendship, Kristi and retired cop Tracie Brocco ... two women who've never met in person ... created Murder Has a Name, funding the same DNA technology that caught Kaylee's killer for the cold cases that can't afford it. Because as Kristi says: "Getting that name ... this is who did this to your child ... it's everything.”

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with one of their most personal conversations ever, sharing the love, laughter, struggles and surprising stories behind five decades of marriage. From Robin knowing it was love at first sight and asking Dr. Phil about marriage almost immediately to starting out with little money, raising Jay and Jordan, building a family and eventually creating the Dr. Phil show together, they look back at the moments that shaped their life. They also confront years of Dr. Phil and Robin divorce rumors, including the outrageous claim of a $400 million settlement, and explain why those headlines never reflected their real marriage. Most importantly, Dr. Phil and Robin reveal what they believe is the secret to a 50-year marriage: deciding early what kind of marriage they wanted, honoring those commitments and continuing to grow together through every stage of life.

A father just became the first parent in America convicted of murder for his son's school shooting. Colin Gray gave his 14-year-old son an AR-15 for Christmas — and ignored every warning sign along the way. Now he's facing 15 years in prison. Dr. Phil breaks down the Apalachee High School case, and the pathway to violence researchers have identified over decades of study.

The warning signs almost every school shooter shows:

- Early childhood trauma that goes unresolved

- A visible crisis point — a noticeable change in behavior from their baseline

- A growing obsession with studying past shooters

- Telling someone their plans, almost always a fellow student, before it happens

- Access to an unsecured weapon at home

- Prior contact with law enforcement that went nowhere

Dr. Phil walks through what happened in Georgia, what law enforcement already knew, and why these same red flags keep showing up case after case — and keep getting missed. No spin. No BS. Just what every parent needs to know before the next tragedy.

When comes to UAP sightings, some of the most reliable witnesses are our pilots, but only 5% of them are reporting their UAP sightings, largely due to fear of what may happen if they do. Dr. Phil speaks with "Kurt," A major U.S. airline pilot, speaking on condition of anonymity, to discuss the fear he claims is keeping pilots from reporting UAP sightings seen from the cockpit, including losing their careers, or even being deemed medically unfit to fly. Plus, find out why "Kurt" claims its pilots themselves, that are largely to blame for keeping other pilots from reporting their UAP sightings.

A Navy SEAL trainee who says he was wrongfully convicted of murder and abduction to defile for a crime the actual killer later confessed to committing alone, served 31 years of an 82-year sentence before walking out of prison. This is his first interview. SHOW DESCRIPTION: In 1995, 20-year-old Navy SEAL trainee Dusty Turner watched his swim buddy Billy Brown strangle a 21-year-old pre-med student named Jennifer Evans in a Virginia Beach parking lot. Dusty says he tried to stop him, but he failed. Bound by the SEAL code to protect his teammate, he helped hide the body. Eight days later, consumed by guilt, he says he confessed to his commanding officer, led police to the scene, and cooperated fully with investigators. Then he says the system took 31 years of his life. Brown flipped and blamed Dusty for the murder. Both were convicted in separate trials. Brown got 72 years. Dusty got 82, more time than the man who actually killed her. In 2002, Brown confessed on tape that he acted alone. A Virginia judge declared Dusty actually innocent. The appellate court overturned it on a legal theory never presented at his original trial. Under Virginia law, the only crime Dusty admits to ... helping hide a body ... carried a maximum sentence of one year. He served thirty-one. On March 5, 2026, Dusty walked out of prison. He is 51 years old. His murder conviction still stands. He is not exonerated. Now, for the first time, Dusty sits down with Dr. Phil, alongside his mother Linda, who never stopped fighting ... to tell his story, confront the system that he says failed him, and face the most difficult question of all: how do you rebuild a life when the majority of it was taken from you for something you say you didn't do?
