  • Introducing: Law & Crime’s LUIGI

    Introducing: Law & Crime’s LUIGI
    Mar 31 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?


    Listen to Law&Crime’s LUIGI exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments. You can join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. Visit www.wondery.com/links/luigi and start your free trial now!

This show is so interesting, learning about so many different topics. It helps me fall asleep and pass time on walks and bike rides.

Such a talented storyteller

I’ve listened for years and even gone to see shows, you’ve always done an amazing job telling the stories in a great & respectful way. The recent uptick in ads (even when I pay for ad free) has sadly made the podcast almost unlistenable. There’s too many too frequently, I genuinely miss listening :/
