Hosted by acclaimed documentarian Dan Taberski (Hysterical, Missing Richard Simmons), this six-part Audible Original investigates the manifesto as a cultural artifact—tracing its journey from revolutionary declarations and protest movements to its disturbing co-option by mass shooters and extremists. Blending true crime investigation, historical analysis, and personal narrative, Taberski examines cases like the 2013 LAPD shooter and the Luigi Mangione case alongside movements like Occupy Wall Street, asking whether radical inspiration and calls to action can exist without violence. Timed to America's 250th anniversary, the series is deeply researched yet conversational, weaving archival footage, interviews, and Taberski's own attempt to write a manifesto into a thought-provoking meditation on protest, ideology, and the line between passion and extremism. Ideal for listeners drawn to narrative journalism, socio-political history, and true crime with intellectual depth, this show appeals to fans of investigative audio storytelling who want to understand how words can move—or destroy—the world.
