133: Unabomber: In His Own Words and Strictly Stalking
Feb 26, 2020, 02:00 PM
Jessica Liese joins me to talk about a limited series Netflix picked up from Reelz, Unabomber: In His Own Words, which exceeded our expectations -- and while we'd recommend it as a good case overview with unparalleled access, we both wondered if it wasn't trying to hard to explain (or even rationalize) Ted Kaczynski's motivations for killing three people and injuring dozens more.
Our second Most Wanted topic is recent podcast Strictly Stalking, and we agree that it's a great idea with some unfortunate execution errors. Has the production team fallen prey to "NPR syndrome"? And we admire a true-crime property that starts from believing women and goes from there...but how much further can it go with this premise? Stupid punctuation tricks, FBI agents we'd like to drink with, and more in The Blotter Presents, Episode 133.
