I AGREE. I have done a bunch of deep dives on Zodiac before (even bought Graysmith's book last year, though haven't had the chance to read it), so I didn't think I'd learn much, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I've definitely picked up bits and pieces about the case that I was unfamiliar with before, but the best part are the interviews with the people involved (both contemporaneous and the more recent stuff). To actually hear from victims has been arresting, and other witnesses, investigators, and reporters have given lots of cool perspectives. I will probably loop back to Season 1 of the podcast when this one is done.

I thought S1 was good but ultimately fell short. Still worth a listen, to be sure.

This one though is outstanding so far. Glad you're also digging it.

They're coming back soon and will be covering the DC sniper case.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

(Loved the ep anyway. I hope he gets to do a solo Pitt one in the garage someday.)
