The Doodler

The Doodler is a compelling investigative true crime podcast that unearths the forgotten history of a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco’s gay community in the mid-1970s. Hosted by award-winning reporter Kevin Fagan, the series meticulously examines why this case—which may have a body count rivaling the Zodiac Killer—remained cold for nearly five decades. Through a blend of archival research, contemporary investigative journalism, and a focus on the social climate of the era, the show provides a voice to victims who were historically marginalized. It is an essential listen for true crime enthusiasts who appreciate deep-dive, narrative-driven storytelling that challenges official narratives and seeks justice for overlooked cold cases.
