The Unabomber - Ted Kaczynski


Listen Later

You’ve got to be dedicated to make the decision to go off the grid.  The reasons people go off the grid differ, most are pretty insane, but some are just looking for a place to hide. The subject of today’s show, Ted Kaczynski - The Unabomber, was a mixture of both.  The Unabomber’s randomness of targets and timing had America on edge and had Kaczynski at the top of the FBI’s Most Wanted list.  The way his story played out is interesting, but was the manifesto he wrote as insane as most think?  Well yes, but how did he get to this point in life?  We’ll dive into this and more in this explosive episode of AHC Podcast.
