The Psychopedia Podcast

Hans Schmidt wasn’t necessarily set up for success. Whether being forced to perform Catholic masses in a homemade frock by his overbearing mother in Germany, or meeting his buddy at the local slaughterhouse to engage in mutual masturbation, it’s fair to say that Hans had a turbulent and unusual childhood. Even after relocating to New York City years later and becoming an ordained Catholic priest IRL, Father Hans Schmidt continued to live an absolutely insane and less-than-holy existence. When dismembered body parts wrapped in butcher paper started washing up on the Jersey Shore with links to this disturbed man of the cloth, detectives began to unravel one of the most demented psyches they’d ever seen. And don’t even get us started on what Father Hans Schmidt did with the chicken head...

EP01: Meet Me at the Slaughterhouse

When you think of Ken and Barbie, what comes to mind? What comes to mind for Tank is that his sister used to chew on their feet until they were all flattened out, but what comes to mind for most people is the “perfect couple.” You know those people who seem to have it all together? We don’t like those people. But never compare your insides with someone else’s outsides, because while Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka (aka Ken and Barbie) seemed to have it all, this relationship could not have been more dysfunctional…or dangerous. We don’t want to give details in the description because it might get flagged, but the circumstances of this case will take your breath away.

EP02: Ken and Barbie Killers

What if we told you that a very small man with a penchant for eating human flesh was allowed to freely roam the streets of Japan as recently as 2022? And what if we told you that this case involves not only cannibalism, but also necrophilia and vorarephilia? You’d probably first Google “vorarephilia” and then after that, we'd urge you to press play on this absolutely mental case.

EP07: Goth Family Annihilator

When news of this case first emerged, the main star was a missing severed penis. The supporting role of this highly disturbing saga was played by Lorena Bobbitt, a knife-wielding lunatic who castrated her husband in a fit of jealousy and rage. Every headline, talk show, comedian and reporter characterized Lorena as being every man’s worst nightmare, and the frightening face of fickle females everywhere. But the TRUE story behind the infamous penis dismemberment case is far more complex and upsetting than was originally acknowledged. This is the story of a young immigrant woman who suffered domestic abuse and persistent marital rape, had no escape in sight, and finally snapped (or sliced, as it were).

Bonus Episode 1: Lorena Bobbitt - Castration Queen

David Parker Ray, more famously known as the Toy Box Killer, fancied himself a highly skilled sexual scientist who would abduct women (thereafter referred to as “pretty pieces of meat”) before inflicting upon them immeasurable pain through sexual experimentation and inhumane torture. First, he would psychologically break down his victims. Then, he would violently assault them inside a soundproof trailer referred to as his “toy box,” using various implements of torture while carefully documenting, filming, and cataloging his observations. There are so many elements to this twisted case that we’ve organized it into two episodes. Please listen with caution - this case is truly what nightmares are made of.
