The Set

It’s the crack era. The most violent time in New York City history. The NYPD is fighting a losing battle and instead of protecting the city from drug dealers, some police officers have become them. The Set is a 10 episode, never-before told, first-person documentary of the biggest police corruption scandal in NYPD history and the investigation that uncovered it all. From Zak Levitt, the Emmy, Peabody, and NY Press Club Investigative Journalism Award winning creator of Root of Evil, Gangster Capitalism, and Relative Unknown.

Riveting and well-done

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to lately. Like a good documentary, the people involved tell the story in their own words, and they are all good storytellers—the good cop, as well as those who never expected to go from naive good cop when they began to ultimately becoming corrupt cops who let everyone down, including themselves.
One of the best I’ve ever heard

I listen to true crime podcasts constantly. Top of the bar is In The Dark and Serial. I would say this podcast is right up there. Extremely well done. Quite shocking how blatant all this stuff was. Episode 9 when all the cops start turning on one another was jaw dropping. Don’t worry, that unfortunately doesn’t even give anything away. Really makes you wonder what type of vetting was going on to become a police officer at the time. I can only hope that things are better nowadays. I just hope that people aren’t just more sneaky. Really great listen to look at how police officers, regardless of race, can be the actual thugs out there. There are plenty of lessons to be learned from this podcast. After listening I watched a documentary and watched the testifying in front of Congress. But this podcast is what was the most eye opening of it all. So well done. I wish they made it a requirement for police officers and social workers to listen to this in their schooling.
