This is Shattering The System, a podcast hosted by pioneering audio journalist Sonari Glinton. Drawing from his decades covering politics and the economy, Sonari exposes the systems making it possible for criminals of all kinds to get away with the unthinkable. Though it’s a podcast about crime, this is more than just another true crime podcast. Using expert interviews, evidence, and innovative sound, Sonari unveils the ugly truths baked into our society. This season, he tells the story of what happens in gay Hollywood when gay black men turn up dead. He’ll delve deep into the strange, twisted world of convicted criminal Ed Buck. It’s a case with implications reaching far beyond Hollywood. This is a story not to be missed. Join Sonari as he takes a hard look at what happens when the system isn’t just broken, but shattered.

Customer Reviews
Finally!
I am so thrilled to finally have a podcast I can listen to that isn’t two white cis women telling true crime stories. And this focuses on not just a broken, but shattered system. This is essential listening and has inspired me to get more involved in my community.
Redundant
This show was informative, yet biased (as the telling of most podcasts are). It appeared it could have been edited to 6-8 episodes with by eliminating the repeated quotes from the same persons over multiple episodes.
Episode 2 is heartbreaking and brutal and amazingly reported
The story is unfolding in this episode. The struggles of the victim’s community is heartbreaking. Look in the mirror West Hollywood elites. What do you see?
