We're really excited to drop the first episode of a genre-bending true crime series from audio pioneers Love + Radio. (Fun fact, Marc actually worked under the creator of Love + Radio, Nick van der Kolk, in his first audio internship) Blood Memory shatters the conventions of the true crime genre, presenting a non-narrative, long-form investigation. The series follows the life of Michael Thompson, who became infamous for defecting from a notorious prison gang and testifying against them in several high-profile criminal trials.

This is not a podcast that tells you what happened; it invites you into an immersive, ethically complex world that feels like Sons of Anarchy meets S-Town. Through nearly a decade of intimate interviews with Thompson, combined with meticulous investigative journalism, the series forces listeners to grapple with a central, unnerving question: Is Michael Thompson a gentle soul trapped by a broken system, or is he, as critics claim, a master manipulator who cannot be trusted?
