Decades after Ted Kaczynski was caught, society is still asking some of the same questions about him: Is Ted a genius who went astray? Or simply a madman who murdered three people in cold blood? Project Unabom takes an in-depth look back at the Unabomber saga and Ted Kaczynski's legacy from the perspective of FBI agents who worked to solve the case, his brother who turned him in, and Ted’s very own writings.

tia barbara ,

what a story!

as a true crime junkie i knew this story but i admit i didn’t realise how little i knew about it until i listened to this podcast. it’s well-made and produced, well-told, and hearing from people David and the FBI investigators helped add some great context and nuance to the case. definitely recommend.

Shodbear ,

A genuinely captivating and wonderfully produced retelling of a well known case.

I’ve heard the Unabombers crimes and capture recounted a number of times, yet this series did manage to bring something new to the table - and was captivated from start to finish.

I love it when a good true crime podcast is well produced, honours the victims, and also looks at the case through different lenses.
Doing all that, whilst being an easy listen that you want to “binge” listen to - despite knowing the case/story already - it’s not as easy as I think people would believe … or it would be far more common.

Big ups. Really interesting listen.

- I came here from Criminal airing your 3rd episode, too. So shoutout to everyone’s beloved Aunt, Phoebe Judge. She’s got good taste 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can’t fight that.
