  • Introducing: Law & Crime’s LUIGI

    Introducing: Law & Crime’s LUIGI
    Mar 17 2025

    When Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, the media called it a senseless crime. But online, a different story emerged—one of rage, reckoning, and a suspected killer turned folk hero. More than just a true crime podcast, LUIGI, hosted by Jesse Weber, dares to look beyond the crime and the accused to explore a cultural tipping point in America, asking you to decide - is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?

Redemption through sacrifice and pain

this was a twisting narrative. the speaker is absolutely amazing. he's inspiring and I just want to thank him for his continued sacrifice every day to save the lives of the innocent. I commend him for coming through what he has in his life to still want to give back to others.

Heartbreaking powerful

Although this story was a trigger , sometimes triggers are necessary. To remember and to move forward. I wish the best life for this woman

excellence

While I don't like every story being told on here (due to personal comfort levels) I think they're necessary. The school shooter one really shook me to my core.

Enthralling

It's incredible the things people can survive. Great variety of stories. Limited narration and great flow.
