Über diesen Titel

 Nature vs Narcissism is a true crime/comedy podcast based in Cincinnati, Ohio where Heather and her guests discuss true crimes and the narcissists who commit them. Sometimes we have alcohol and sometimes things get weird. Relaunching on our 4th PodBirthday (Oct 22, 2021), the structure changed a lot. Every episode is different and every episode is entertaining! We will delve into whether we think nature made the criminals commit these heinous acts, or if it's simply their narcissism getting the best of them. Keep in mind, this podcast is strictly for entertainment purposes and is in no way a professional diagnosis of the subjects discussed.Copyright Heather Wright True Crime

    La Bestia Follow-up wCourtney (More about Colombia) - Part 2
    Jan 14 2026
    On December 25th and 26th of 2025; we released a 2-parter on Luis Garavito (aka The Beast). Heather was joined by Cole (who suggested the disturbing case) to discuss Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos, also known as La Bestia (The Beast), was a Colombian serial killer, pedophile, sex offender, and necrophile. Between 1992 and 1999, he sexually assaulted over 200 victims and is believed to have sexually assaulted and murdered at least 193 children, primarily young boys, across western Colombia.

    But as Heather and Cole were recording, they realized that there were a lot of unanswered questions about Columbia and the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ related to him going undetected for so long. Well; lucky for you, we have a resident researcher who also has a degree in international studies!

    Courtney came to the studio and dropped some knowledge in this 2-parter about Colombia, before, during, and after his disgusting crime spree.

    Books and Documentaries mentioned:
    • Conquistadores: A New History of Spanish Discovery and Conquest by Fernando Cervantes
    • When the Mountains Tremble (roughly 1 hr and 23 min). Filmed in 1982, this film is a prequel to the documentary Granito: How to Nail a Dictator
    • Still Life with Bones: Genocide, Forensics, and What Remains By Alexa Hagerty
    • A Flower Traveled in My Blood by Haley Cohen Gilliland

    Books to learn about Colombia:
    • The Shape of the Ruins (La Forma de las Ruinas) by Juan Gabriel Vásquez (is a great historical novel about 20th century Colombian politics)
    • One Hundred Years Solitude by Gabriel García Márque
    • Every Day The River Changes; Four Weeks Down the Magdalena by Jordan Salama
    • Magical Realism for Non-Believers; A Memoir of Finding Family by Anika Fajardo
    • The Book of Emma Reyes: A Memoir by Emma Reyes (Author) & Daniel Alarcón
    • The Night Will Be Long by Santiago Gambo
    • The Making of Modern Colombia: A Nation in Spite of Itself by David Bushnell
    • There Are No Dead Here: A Story of Murder and Denial in Colombia by Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno
    • Even Silence Has an End: My Six Years of Captivity in the Colombian Jungle by Ingrid Betancourt
    • Between Legitimacy and Violence: A History of Colombia, 1875–2002 (Latin America in Translation by Marco Palacios and 1 more)
    • Colombia: A Concise Contemporary History by Michael J. LaRosa and 1 more

    Until next time; stay inside, stay alive.

  • Luis Garavito (aka The Beast) with Cole - Part 2

    Luis Garavito (aka The Beast) with Cole - Part 2
    Dec 26 2025
    ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING

    If Part 1 was about how the warning signs were ignored, Part 2 is where the consequences become horrifyingly clear.

    This episode picks up where the slow burn ends; and where the true scale of the nightmare is revealed.Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos, infamously known as La Bestia (The Beast), went on to become one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history.

    Between 1992 and 1999, he sexually assaulted more than 200 victims and is believed to have sexually assaulted and murdered at least 193 children, mostly young boys, across western Colombia. And somehow… he kept going.

    !!!!This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, torture, murder, survivor testimony, and institutional failure. We avoid gratuitous detail, but the material is deeply disturbing. Please listen with care!!!!

    This is where everything collapses; for the victims, for investigators, and eventually, for Garavito himself.In Part 2, we break down:
    • The murders and how Garavito operated for years without detection
    • The voices and experiences of surviving victims
    • How small mistakes — and chance encounters — finally led to his arrest
    • The shocking details of his confessions
    • His sentencing, plea deals, and the massive controversy surrounding them
    • His death, and why justice still feels unfinished
    Spoiler alert: the legal outcome will probably make your blood boil.Check out our website for sources and more at www.naturevsnarcissism.com. Until next time; stay inside, stay alive.
