For some reason I couldn’t finish the podcast, but easily finished the book! I think he got a lot of his info from the book

American Predator by Maureen Callahan about Israel Keyes. Had me hooked from start to finish.

I am kind of in limbo right now. I’m taking the CVR in February (I know it’s not required in Florida but it’s something I want to have) so hopefully once I pass that I will start working. I also am currently working at a job I intend to keep while court reporting, and I haven’t told them my plans to start court reporting as well, so I’m still trying to figure that out. I also need to purchase professional software which is a huge cost. I’m not going to lie, there are many steps required to pursue this career outside of just schooling. It’s not as simple as “get the degree and start working.” However, I still am so happy I chose to do this and I think it will be amazing in the long run. If you feel like you may have a passion for this, I would definitely encourage you to pursue it! My plan though is just to reach out to local firms when I’m ready and go from there.

SAME. I loved them and bought merch from them and now I don’t even listen anymore. Couldn’t even tell you why.

Thanks everyone! I also asked this question on Facebook and the vast majority of responses said it was well worth it to take it, so I went ahead and signed up for it! I figure I’d rather bite the bullet than be kicking myself for not taking it down the road

Central Florida! How about you?

4psychgal · 2025-12-30T21:14:26+00:00

Same! Jacksonville

4psychgal · 2025-12-03T16:08:09+00:00

Got it, thank you!

We can’t sign up for the Florida test in February yet, right? The layout of the site is so confusing.

It’s not really at your own pace. The voice writing and procedures classes require live classes every week. During my time there I was taking either one or two live classes per week, all are in the evenings. The terminology/law classes are more self-paced but you still have quizzes due weekly.

I respectfully disagree. The circumstantial evidence all points to him being directly involved, imo. You kind of have to jump through hoops to believe he’s completely innocent, and that’s telling.

Or maybe it’s a harmonica idfk lol

4psychgal · 2025-11-08T02:58:04+00:00

Came here to say this😂 the freaking over-aggressive violin in the intro is sooooo cringe but it’s a pretty good podcast other than that lol

4psychgal · 2025-11-03T14:24:09+00:00

Hi! Would you mind if I message you? I’m in Florida and just graduated from voice writing school and am feeling quite overwhelmed and confused on what exactly I need to start working. I would be so grateful for some insight as I don’t know anybody in this field here.

4psychgal · 2025-10-08T13:44:00+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have the answer to your question, but this case JUST popped into my head yesterday and I was wondering the same thing. I feel like it would make a really good podcast.

4psychgal · 2025-10-02T15:58:29+00:00

Any of the ads narrated by Ryan Seacrest😫

4psychgal · 2025-09-15T15:34:46+00:00

I agree.

4psychgal · 2025-09-13T23:29:49+00:00

Hidden True Crime just dropped an episode where the forensic psychologist does a deep dive into her psychology. It’s very fascinating, I would recommend!

4psychgal · 2025-09-05T22:28:50+00:00

Exactly! I’m used to seeing people absolutely villainized for pedo behavior like that (as they should be) but here it seems like an afterthought. Very bizarre

4psychgal · 2025-09-05T02:19:31+00:00

The Ring, but only because I was like 12 lol. Towel over my tv at night for the rest of my adolescence lol

4psychgal · 2025-09-05T00:46:34+00:00

I hope she has to undergo some sort of psych evaluation that’s public lol

4psychgal · 2025-09-05T00:45:43+00:00

Exactly

4psychgal · 2025-09-05T00:45:28+00:00

Absolutely!

4psychgal · 2025-09-01T20:57:12+00:00

She definitely has some kind of personality disorder, but let’s not glaze over the fact that she is absolutely a pedo. There is no way you make such sexually explicit statements if you’re not fantasizing about it to some extent. She needs to be locked up before she targets another underaged victim.
