Corey Koehler (pronounced KAY-ler) is an independent artist who found his path in music later than most, picking up the guitar again at 30 and never looking back. Blending rock, country, blues, and folk, his songs tell honest, relatable stories about life, loss, and chasing something more. His debut album, Never Too Late, says it all.
What drives a man to orchestrate one of the most chilling crime sprees in American history—without ever pulling the trigger himself? In this gripping episode, we sit down with bestselling crime author Diana Montané, who has spent years researching the twisted psyche and cultural impact of Charles Manson. From the dark origins of the Manson Family to the manipulation, murder, and media frenzy that followed, we dive deep into the psychology, charisma, and chaos of a cult leader who turned the Summer of Love into a nightmare. And a critical look at how Manson exploited fear, fame, and fractured minds to leave an indelible mark on American history.
