I didn't know about that. So we wanted to do a story that really hit at what is that narrative? What is the narrative that the King family believes in? It's truly baffling because King is probably one of the most celebrated heroes in American history. Yet you ask anybody and they know so little about his assassination.

But then to think that the United States government or entities like the FBI could have been involved in his killing. And that's something I had heard floating around. I asked a lot of people while writing this episode, like, what do you know? And every once in a while, someone would be like, didn't the CIA kill him or something like that?

But that's pretty much the extent of what a lot of people know, unless maybe you were a little bit older at that time or were very plugged in because the U.S. media did not cover the civil trial, which is absolutely mind boggling to me.

I'm definitely interested in hearing what people think about that episode and just engaging with that case on MLK Day because so much of his legacy as a civil rights leader has been sort of sanitized in the decades after his death. But then we have nine other episodes which are on a variety of topics, all different types of stories.

And I'm really excited to get those out there for folks to be able to hear the truer crime telling of them.

Doing an episodic show was always my priority because I felt like episodic true crime is so popular. What would it look like to kind of bridge those worlds between episodic true crime and like a limited series where you have that level of deep research and nuance, but you do try to condense it into the episode because I felt like there was just so much room in the episodic world for that.

It's tough, especially doing a story like Jonestown. which is complex. And on that episode in particular, I really wanted to do right by the few survivors that there were because they've just been really brought through the ringer in terms of the media. So many of them are very, very fearful to talk to anybody. So I just wanted to try to do justice by that story.
