About the show

BEYOND THE HEADLINES.

Everyone has an opinion about the latest true-crime documentary. We want to know why people behave the way they do.

On Well, THAT'S a Red Flag, Amy Barrickman and psychiatrist Irene Hurford, MD, take a closer look at the relationships, motivations, conflicting narratives, and warning signs behind the stories. Expect thoughtful analysis, honest questions, and a little humor along the way.

We discuss publicly presented stories and behaviors—not clinical diagnoses of people we haven't evaluated.
