Project Unabom

Project Unabom

Having eluded authorities for 17 years, the criminal known as the Unabomber is ready to make a deal. If newspapers will print his manifesto, he’ll stop killing people. But his anti-technology rants sound familiar to the family of Ted Kaczynski. When the disheveled cabin dweller is arrested, it confirms everyone’s suspicion the culprit was a mad man. But how did he go from mathematics professor to serial bomber? And were there other ways the story could have gone?

Produced by Pineapple Street Studios, the Apple Original podcast “Project Unabom” tells the story of a nation and a family coming to grips with what was happening inside a tiny cabin in the Montana woods. Host Eric Benson digs into Kaczynski’s personal papers, and talks to key people from the investigation…including those first suspected of being the Unabomber.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "PROJECT UNABOM" BEGIN IN THE LAST 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
