Forget everything you’ve learned from crime dramas. Forensic is a new podcast series from All in the Mind on ABC Radio National that takes you behind the psychological tools used to solve crimes. Across four episodes, we investigate criminal profiling, false confessions, eyewitness memory and lie detection, revealing what actually works, what doesn’t, and the surprising ways things can go wrong. Forensic gives an evidence-led look at the cracks and complexities inside modern forensic psychology. Our first episode drops this Sunday! In the mean time, check out our other true crime themed series from 2025, Criminal Psychology .
