Nature vs Narcissism Podcast

Nature vs Narcissism

Heather Wright
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.

Lady Killers (Julia Lynn Turner) wKarah
Turner, aka the “Antifreeze Killer” was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole on March 27, 2007 for the murder of her husband and later her estranged boyfriend. The circumstances surrounding their deaths were eerily similar and took the victim's mothers to bring forth their concerns for the GBI to dig a little deeper. Turner was found dead in prison on August 30, 2010.   Much speculation remains as to whether her death was suicide, or perhaps due to an accidental overdose of prescription blood pressure medication.ALSO - just to remind you guys!  The True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival is happening in July 2024!  We will be in Denver, Colorado from July 12th - 14th and YOU can visit us, meet us in person, grab some stickers, and hang out!  You can also get 15% off your tickets if you enter NVN15 in the promo code section at the checkout page!

Lady Killers (Anna Marie Hahn) wKarah
For those who have been listeners since the start of NVN, you know that the very first episode in 2017 was about Aileen Wuornos.  But the recent episodes provide a lot more depth and offer details that we found through documentaries and books that were in Aileen’s words.  This truly changed my perspective on the person she was.  This made me want to look more into other female killers (some we’ve discussed briefly and others we’ve never talked about on the podcast).  Heather and Karah will be covering some "Lady Killers" in this mini-series. In this episode, we’re going to talk about Anna Marie Hahn.As a quick summary, Anna Marie Hahn was a 26-year old immigrant from Germany who offered her services in Cincinnati as a live-in attendant for elderly men.  Over a period of about a year she would end up taking all she could from 5 victims (all of their assets) before finally murdering them once they had nothing left for her to take.She used a different poison each time she killed her victims.  Once suspicions were raised, police exhumed the bodies of her victims aka her former employers, and she was arrested.  Even though it was pretty clear that she was the killer, she still attempted a mercy killing defense…which didn’t pan out.  And in 1938, Anna Marie Hahn became the first woman in Ohio’s history to die in the electric chair.
