Ted Kaczynski: The Unabomber 30 Years Later

30 years after ""The Unabomber's"" arrest, Ted Kaczynski's ideas are more alive than ever, cited by killers like Luigi Mangione, debated by philosophers and celebrated by people who see him as a prophet rather than a murderer. Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong, who sat alone with him hours after his capture, will share all-new anecdotes about Kaczynski's case, his capture, her own (not entirely accurate) portrayal in Michael Mann's film ""The Insider,"" and how we can still gain valuable insights from his case three decades later. This episode also details Ted's death, his strange afterlife in the culture, and a reckoning with the uncomfortable questions his legacy forces us to ask. Candice serves as our guide through both the past and the present — and reflects on the person she believes is the true hero of the story: David Kaczynski, the brother whose agonizing decision to turn Ted in may have saved countless lives.
