Doctor Psycho Podcast

On October 11th 2016, we were born as Unpopular Culture Podcast as a singular goal: to bring truthful psychology and forensic science into a world constantly spewing misinformation. The rabbit hole of human existence is vast, but our podcast is dedicated to exploring the seedy underbelly of society. We dive into the weird and morose, the dreadful and the beautiful, to bring you the full, unadulterated picture. Drawing on psychology, sociology, and forensics, we explore true stories of serial killers, psychopaths, stalkers, and cult leaders. We also examine bizarre social phenomena while providing mental health education and advocacy for the public.

In 2023 UPC was reborn as Doctor Psycho Podcast. This was done to rebrand the podcast to more reflect the values and education of Dr. Michael Drane.
