Truer Crime

Making Manson: Our Journey Through America's Most Infamous Murders


Listen Later

The Manson murders have been covered endlessly, turned into sensational headlines, Hollywood blockbusters, and pop culture mythology. But how do you tell this story differently—without glorifying the killers or repeating the same tired narrative?


In this special behind-the-scenes episode, I sit down with my co-producer Olivia Heusinkveld to unpack the making of our two-part series on the Manson murders. We reveal the creative choices we wrestled with, the moments that shocked us most, and the parts of the story that didn’t make it into the final episodes—but still haunt us.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what you thought you knew about one of America's most infamous crimes.
