Criminal Motives

Matthew Phifer

Booking Overview

This is a solo true-crime and behavioral-analysis show hosted by a therapist, with episodes presented as case breakdowns rather than interviews with external guests. No established guest-booking lane is evident, so PR agencies should not assume that forensic psychologists, investigators, attorneys, or true-crime authors are routinely accepted; booking opportunity and difficulty are currently not applicable.
