Ever wondered what it is like to sit just three feet away from a convicted murderer and look them in the eye? In this episode of Nothing But the Truth, hosts Bob Bianchi and Dave Bruno sit down with veteran investigative journalist David Scott to discuss his award winning series, Interview with a Killer.

David Scott shares his unique experiences from the front lines of true crime journalism, having won a Peabody and 14 Emmy awards for his work. He discusses the intense psychological preparation required to interview death row inmates and the chilling reality of what happens when the cameras start rolling inside a supermax prison. Throughout the conversation, the group explores the fine line between forensic psychology and hardball journalism.

David explains how he attempts to break through the spin and manipulation of some of the most dangerous individuals in the country.

From discussing the logistics of prison security to the emotional impact on victims families, this episode provides a deep dive into the darkest aspects of the human mind. Key topics include the reality of life inside high security facilities, the difference between crimes of passion and senseless overkill, and why understanding the antagonist is crucial for the justice system. David also provides recommendations for where to start with his series and what he has learned about humanity after 20 episodes of facing killers.
