you an episode from another show from Slate. I think you'd like. Slate's history podcast

One Year introduces you to the people and struggles that changed America one year at a time.

In each episode, host Josh Levine explores a story you may have forgotten or one you've

never heard of before. What were the moments that transformed politics, culture, science,

religion and more? And how does the nation's past shape our present? The current season

of One Year covers 1995, a year when homegrown terrorists attack Oklahoma City, America went

online, and the Macarena took over nightclubs. The episode you're about to hear takes you

to Ann Arbor, Michigan, when a serial rapist struck the town, and the police turned to

drastic measures based on the promise and power of DNA. For law enforcement, genetic testing

seemed like a can't miss idea, but DNA didn't fix anything in Ann Arbor. Instead, it ripped

the community apart. If you like this episode, follow One Year, wherever you get podcasts.
