Things I Want To Know

We've all seen it on tv. We've all seen it in the movies we've watched as the detectives go and find the bad guy, and they do it in less than 45 minutes. On top of that, we've all seen how cooperative everyone is and how easy it is to put someone in jail. But is it really, is that the way it works or is that just bullshit?

Today we have Vic Ferrari, a 20-year veteran of the new york City Police Department, as a detective who has seen everything from car thefts to murder and anything in between.

What makes a killer? Is it nature or nurture? Not until Jack The Ripper and HH Holmes did the public even recognize the proclivity to kill in mass. 

We know it must have been a psychological need to kill throughout history but only in modern times has the human race begun to study and tear apart psychology.

 Our questions today are:  does culture and nurture change how people kill and more?

 Linda Sage is an expert on the psychology of serial killers and joins us today.

So we are talking with the author of several N.Y.C. crime novels, a forty-year veteran of the N.Y.C. police department, and M.T.A. Mr. Robert Jestic.

We talk about how crime prevention improved over the past forty years and some techniques implemented to get control of the most heinous and disturbing decades for N.Y.C.

Anxiety. We all have experienced it. Most people endure this emotion easily. Starting a new job, moving to a new city. The speed dating we signed up for, or the pressures of starting a family. We ask ourselves what will happen and worry about outcomes because the future is indeterminate and can change on a whim because of seemingly innocent and benign events. But for some of us, anxiety is a dark emotionless beast that looms around the corner, waiting to tear us apart. His pervasiveness and tenacity are never-ending, screaming the worst-case scenarios at us and never letting a positive thought boil to the

[00:01:00] surface. For those who have never experienced an attack of anxiety, this punishing will never know the debilitating and debilitating effect that it has on life today.

Humans collect all sorts of interesting things. Some love to decorate their houses and homes with dairy cows, green frogs, and Marvel characters. All these things are considered normal and benign, for the most part. 

 Some of us, however, enjoy collecting more obscure items. Items that may be considered taboo to many. Or even morose and possibly diabolical and malignant. 

 True crime authors and amateur sleuths consider these items ubiquitous with sinister meaning and serial killers, yet that is only the few and not the majority of the reasons behind the drive to gather and display these more macabre and eclectic items. 

 Do they represent the obsession with death, or could they be more about celebrating life? 

 In this episode of Things I want to Know we delve deep into the world of the eccentric and the strange as we ask the questions everyone wants to know.

Are ghosts real? Are spirits Real? The only way we can find the unfettered truth is to die. The question remains, can we still communicate with the living once we perish? For centuries human beings have conjured the dead, or have they? Atheists and science say no. Religion and the spiritual say yes.

Will you ever know? Can we ever prove it?

Daniel Jackson, our guest tonight, author of The New Beginning My awakening as a spirit Medium, is our guest today. His goal is to help people find a better version of themselves. We will discover How he does do this? How does he talk to archangels and the dead? How does one become a medium?

There have always been taboo subjects that no one wants to talk about in public. In the modern age, many of these once taboo subjects are now out in the open. The free discourse of thought is something that our modern minds have become used to.

Yet there is one subject that no one wants to talk about. The one thing that is responsible for more deaths every year than automobile accidents, War, and Natural disasters combined. Easily preventable and often the last thing on anyone’s mind.

The questions I have is this: Why is it not talked about, why are they overwhelmingly male, and why are we not paying closer attention?

Today Andrea and I are joined by Frank King, ,  a former writer on The Tonight Show for 20 years, a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality, who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.

He is

Suicide Prevention and Postvention Public Speaker and Trainer

Depression and suicide run his family. He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com

As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide, and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

Paul and Andrea have an interesting topic for everyone this week. So, hold on to your butts. Jeremy Pauley, a self-proclaimed “Collector of Oddities,” thought purchasing human remains through Facebook would be a great idea. Pennsylvania authorities, needless to say, aren’t too keen on this and arrested Pauley. Upon investigating, Pennsylvania police - with help from the F.B.I. – discovered that multiple buckets of human organs, skin, and bones came from Little Rock, Arkansas. The question we raise is Why? These parts belonged to someone. How can you even mail human remains?

This engaging interview with Dr. Jeff Zweerink, Ph.D. in Astrophysics, talks about why science and Faith can co-exist. He affirms a belief in the possibility of Alien life, and we speak about the marvel of the James Webb Space Telescope. Dr. Zweerink is the author of Escaping the Beginning, Is There Life Out There,and Who’s Afraid of the Multiverse and a project scientist at UCLA.
