PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 20 "The White Album"

1.3K views · 3d ago · 13:19

The White Album arrives — and with it, the moment this entire story has been building toward. Not because the Beatles intended anything by it. Not because the music itself was dangerous. But because a man already searching for proof of his own destiny finally found what he was looking for in the grooves of a record. Millions of people heard that album that winter and found in it nothing more than extraordinary music.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 19 "Piggies"

Manson returns from the desert energized and calculating — working every angle with his entertainment friends, watching the chaos in the cities with something closer to excitement than alarm, and quietly positioning himself as the one man with both the vision and the sanctuary to offer lost young people a way through what was coming. The dream wasn't dying. In Charlie's mind, it was finally within reach.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 18 "Ghost Town"

2.1K views · 2w ago · 26:19

The Family arrives in Death Valley and discovers that the desert has a way of stripping everything down to what is real — the music, the fear, the hunger, the love and the rage that had been building in Charles Manson for thirty-four years. He walked away from his Family one cold November morning, got lost in the Panamint Mountains and found his way back. It is one of the smallest moments in this entire story. It is also the most consequential.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 17 "Tuning In, Dropping Out"

2.3K views · 3w ago · 26:37

The Family's belief system takes its most dangerous shape yet — LSD as sacrament, Manson as messiah, the Book of Revelation as a nightly bedtime story. He reenacted the crucifixion on acid and asked his followers if they would die for him. And here is the thing that will stop you cold: he told them exactly what he was doing to them, called them his slaves, admitted he was using them — and not one of them left.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 16 "Woman's Work"

1.3K views · 1mo ago · 23:20

We go inside the domestic life of the Manson Family and discover that beneath the free love and the bonfires and the philosophy of Now, there was a rigid and punishing hierarchy — and the people at the bottom of it were always the women. They cooked, they cleaned, they raised the children, they competed for scraps of approval and were punished for the temperature of the soup. If that sounds familiar, it should — because the Manson Family didn't invent that dynamic.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: MORE TO THE STORY - Episode 15 "Daughters & Sons"

1.6K views · 1mo ago · 23:36

The Family adds some of its most compelling and complex members yet — and we begin to see that the web connecting these people was woven from something far more intricate than one man's influence. They came from near and far, from broken homes and broken dreams. The Manson Family is so often reduced to a story about Charlie. But the truth is that most of these people would have found each other with or without him.

PODCAST THE MANSON FAMILY: More to the Story - Episode 13 "Home Is Where You're Happy"

1.3K views · 1mo ago · 24:38

Discover the world that existed at Spahn Ranch before the Manson Family arrived — a living, breathing community of working people, animals, pipe dreamers and loyal friends who had gathered around a blind old rancher and made something that felt, against all odds, like home. The history books remember Spahn Ranch as a place of darkness. But the people who loved it knew it first as something else entirely — and no one who wasn't there will ever fully understand what was lost.

59 DAYS: Patty Hearst, the SLA and the Seduction of Revolution (HOUSE ON FIRE Episode 13)

565 views · 1mo ago · 1:07:56

After twelve episodes, two questions still don't have clean answers. What actually happened to Patricia Hearst during her time in captivity with the SLA — and who, exactly, was Donald DeFreeze? The more you weigh both questions, the more uncertain those answers become. What do we truly know about the movement that produced both Tania and Cinque, and what it means for any of us still living inside the same American failures the SLA went to war with.

REMNANTS: Patty Hearst, the SLA and the Seduction of Revolution (House on Fire Episode 11)

342 views · 2mo ago · 1:01:22

Six members of the Symbionese Liberation Army are dead. Three are still running. And in a Berkeley park, four hundred people gather around bottles of plum wine to mourn the fallen — including a woman who announces, plainly and publicly, that she is a soldier of the SLA. The organization is about to find refuge, new recruits, new money, new safe houses, and a new capacity for violence. Patricia Hearst is still Tania.

MAY 17: Patty Hearst, the SLA and the Seduction of Revolution (House on Fire Episode 10)

376 views · 2mo ago · 1:04:20

The Symbionese Liberation Army arrives in Los Angeles with no network, no allies, and no plan. They settle into a poor Black neighborhood where nine armed people – mostly white - cannot stay invisible for long. What follows is a cascade of events set in motion by something as small and stupid as a shoplifting incident and it ends with more than two hundred law enforcement officers, five thousand rounds of ammunition, and a house burning to the ground on live television.

TANIA: Patty Hearst, the SLA and the Seduction of Revolution (House on Fire Episode 9)

428 views · 2mo ago · 57:08

After fifty-nine days in a closet, Patricia Hearst is offered a choice. Go home. Or stay and fight. Fifty-two years later, we still don't fully understand that choice — or the decisions that followed it. A tape recording. Photographs in a beret with a rifle. Security camera footage of a young woman holding an automatic weapon inside a San Francisco bank, apparently protecting the people who dragged her out of her apartment two months before.
