When Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, the media called it a senseless crime. But online, a different story emerged—one of rage, reckoning, and a suspected killer turned folk hero. More than just a true crime podcast, LUIGI, hosted by Jesse Weber, dares to look beyond the crime and the accused to explore a cultural tipping point in America, asking you to decide - is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, weirdos. You know we usually steer clear of active cases, not because we're not following |
| 0:04.7 | them, but because we believe in giving you the complete, thoroughly research picture while also |
| 0:09.1 | staying respectful to everybody involved. But we have been absolutely glued to the Law and |
| 0:14.2 | Crime Network lately following the Luigi Mangione trial. For those who are having a hard time |

| 0:38.2 | law and crime's new podcast series, Luigi. What makes this podcast series special is how |
