Mind Motive Media

Mind Motive Media is a forensic psychology podcast about the space between what the evidence supports and what the public is told. Hosted by Melissa Deadrich — a forensic psychology graduate — the show examines real cases through the lens of psychology, law, and media influence. Each episode explores what true crime coverage often leaves out: cognitive bias, interrogation pressure, flawed narratives, and the people whose stories deserved a more honest telling. This is not about retelling familiar cases the same way. It is about slowing down, looking closer, and asking what got lost between the evidence and the narrative.
