Our take on Very Scary People podcast

Very Scary People dives into the terrifying story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, the notorious Canadian killers infamously dubbed 'Ken and Barbie.' One episode at a time, Donnie Wahlberg takes you on a dark journey through a suburban nightmare that left Canada rattled in the 90s. Across half an hour-episodes, the show explores how this seemingly normal couple turned into cold-blooded murderers, starting with the death of Karla's sister, Tammy. This series stands out because of its in-depth focus: analyzing the murders, the evidence, the trial and Karla's infamous plea deal. It leaves you considering the depths of human atrocity and the mask of normality. Very Scary People is a true crime podcast by ID.
