Are you an OBSESSED CRIME JUNKIE like us? We love true crime!

Welcome to Get Obsessed, where we go deep, dark, and disturbingly curious. Host Julie Lokun, JD, confesses what millions secretly feel: an unshakable obsession with true crime.

This isn’t your casual Dateline-before-bed fascination. This is the 2:00 AM rabbit hole of Googling Ed Gein, forensic entomology, and “how did a handyman from Wisconsin become the inspiration for Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Julie explores her morbid curiosity through the Netflix phenomenon “Monsters: The Ed Gein Story” and the psychology that keeps us clicking “next episode.” With humor, honesty, and a touch of self-reflection, she delves into her addiction to true crime.

• Why True Crime is the #1 podcast genre — and why 70% of listeners are women
• The eerie pull of The Ed Gein Effect — what it reveals about control, fear, and fascination
• How shows like Crime Junkie Podcast and My Favorite Murder build a dark sisterhood of survival
• The secret reason our brains crave fear in safety — and why your 5 AM walk feels like FBI training
• Why understanding monsters might just make you safer, smarter, and stronger

• Learn the psychology behind The True Crime Effect — feeling fear while knowing you’re safe
• Discover how bingeing horror stories is actually a form of rehearsal for danger
• Join a sisterhood of women who study murder not out of morbidity, but empowerment

Julie Lokun is a communications strategist, lawyer, and true crime analyst who explores the intersection between psychology, justice, and curiosity. As the host of Get Obsessed, Julie blends her legal mind with her fascination for human behavior — decoding what drives us to fear, fixate, and find meaning in the macabre.

We might not be addicted to murder — we’re addicted to survival.
Get Obsessed. Get curious. And as Julie says — trust no one… except us, the obsessed.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE OF OBSESSED PODCAST:

Television has long been called a mirror of society — but has it really reflected our families, or reshaped them entirely? In this fascinating episode of The Get Obsessed Podcast, host Julie Lokun, JD, sits down with Deborah Griffiths, creator of the powerful new show Bent Not Broken: Starting Over After Divorce, to explore how TV has shaped — and sometimes shattered — the image of the American family.

From Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best to The Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, Roseanne, Modern Family, and even The Kardashians, Julie and Deborah journey through the decades — unpacking what each era’s most popular shows reveal about gender roles, family values, race, divorce, and cultural change.

This episode is a nostalgic, eye-opening trip through television history that will make you laugh, question, and maybe even rethink what “family” really means in the media age.

1. How post-war prosperity shaped the “perfect” families of the 1950s

2. The rise of single moms and blended families in the 1970s and beyond

3. When TV first dared to say the word divorce — and why it mattered

4. How shows like The Cosby Show and Family Ties brought strong family ideals into the 1980s

5. The impact of reality TV — from The Real Housewives to The Kardashians — on our sense of self and family identity
