This was one of the best first episodes of a podcast I’ve heard in a long time. (And every subsequent episode I’ve heard holds up.)

Watch Netflix Doc Instead
The Netflix documentary about this topic is Untold: Crime and Penalties. I would recommend watching that instead of listening to this pod. The documentary is more thorough, thoughtful and interesting.
