Homicide by Martin Daly and Margot Wilson appears 4 times across 3 podcast episodes on 2 shows, with transcript quotes and timestamps.

Homicide is cited repeatedly within a single episode of The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett (guest: The Cancelled Professor), where speakers describe the book as applying an evolutionary framework to study patterns of criminality. The episode quotes the work directly as informing the way the guest and host framed criminal behavior, and the book is invoked multiple times in that same conversation, indicating its function as a recurring reference point for the episode’s argumentation.

The mentions are concrete in how the book’s framework is used: the evolutionary perspective is credited with influencing the speaker’s approach to consumer psychology and is said to have influenced Dr. Gad Saad’s work. Those two attributions explain why Homicide surfaces in the episode—its theoretical framing is treated as a lens the guest and commentators draw on to connect ideas about human behavior and decision-making during their discussion.
