Ted Kaczynski: The True Story of the Unabomber

This week, we’re discussing the compelling story of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. We’ll begin by exploring his seemingly unremarkable upbringing, and shed light on the chilling accounts of his involvement in inhumane experiments during his college years. Finally, we’ll discuss the profound impact of his decades-long reign of terror, which kept authorities on edge and the nation gripped with fear.
