Pickerington Main

Meeting Room A

Love podcasts? Fascinated by true crime? Join us for our new Podcast Club—a book club-style discussion group, but for podcasts!

For our February meeting, we’ll explore the tragic and controversial case of Daniel Petric, an Ohio teen who committed a shocking crime after being banned from playing a video game. We’ll listen to two different podcast episodes that examine how video games, mental health, and family dynamics played a role in the case, then come together to discuss the crime and how each podcast presents the story.

Was it a case of media influence, deeper psychological issues, or something more complex? Let’s unpack it together.

Recommended for adults due to content.

Before the meeting, please listen to the following free podcasts on your favorite podcast platform:

Murderish Podcast - "A Deadly Game"  5/6/2024

Murders in Ohio Podcast- "Daniel Petric, Lorain, Ohio" 7/7/2022
