Episode 3: Bystander Effect
Episode 3: Bystander Effect
Have you ever wondered why people are so hesitant to step in to help during high-danger situations? Even better, have you ever found yourself neglecting to step in to help someone who looks like they’re in need? The answer is probably yes, even if you don’t want to believe it.
This is called the Bystander Effect, where people's minds automatically tend to assume “that another bystander in the group will offer help,” preventing them from filling the role of the attendant. Most people are likely to sit back and let someone else do the job; the fact that the blame will not fall only on them but on everyone surrounding them as well.
Join host Kapri Leonardi in this episode as she investigates why individuals are less likely to help in emergencies when others are present. She explores the origins, causes, and popular examples of the effect, like the 1964 case of Kitty Genovese as well as the surprising ways group dynamics influence our actions.

Episode 2: Mystery of Malaysia Flight #370
About a decade ago, the well-known Malaysian flight #370 disappeared; that's when the discussions began. Headed to Beijing, the routine flight soon became one of the most popular conspiracy theories in western culture. With minimal rational evidence of what actually happened to the plane, there was a vague explanation released to the public.
Fast forward to the present day, the flight is still spoken about. "'Come on, it's been nine years,'" says Malkinson in a Netflix release from a series about the flight. A slew of theories and questions have emerged about the topic.
Was this thoughtfully planned out? How did the flight get so off track if it was so routine? And, most importantly, what really happened to the plane?
Join host Kapri Leonardi as she breaks down information from different articles and resources, including an interview with pilot Julio Arango, in an effort to unveil the deeper truth about this missing flight.
