STAY TUNED FOR MORE CONTENT - Law&Crime will continue to provide you with all the latest updates while we wait for the Luigi Mangione trial dates to be announced. Follow the LUIGI show page and stay subscribed to be the first to access new episodes, bonus content, and more -- available exclusively for Wondery+ members. --- When Luigi Mangione was arrested for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it sent shockwaves across the country, but the aftermath was even more unsettling. While mainstream media condemned the act as a brutal murder, a very different narrative was taking shape online—one that questioned the true villains in this story. Was the alleged shooter a violent extremist, or had he become an unwitting symbol of something much larger? Hosted by Law&Crime's Jesse Weber, LUIGI is more than just a true crime investigation—it's an exploration of a uniquely American moment. As this case continues to unfold in real-time, this series steps beyond the headline-grabbing "crime of the decade" angle to examine the cultural reckoning it has triggered. At its core, LUIGI captures a shifting America at a tipping point. From the public's growing disillusionment with corporate power to the radicalization of online discourse,—this is a story about what happens when the powerless begin to push back. LUIGI dissects the moral, political, and cultural divide at the heart of this case. Wherever this case goes, Law&Crime will provide you with all angles of the case; from those who have condemned the suspect and the crime, to others celebrating the act as revolutionary. With exclusive interviews and in-depth coverage, we challenge you to decide: Is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning? Listen to Law&Crime and Twist’s LUIGI exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments.

I love the show, hate the commercials.

12/29/2024

Camerino

This has become one of my favorite shows of all time,you can’t create content fast enough for me, only issue I really have is one some others have mentioned before and is The disparity of volume between the show and commercials. When a commercial starts,the volume goes up and I have to turn it down, this is a constant and I don’t think I have this issue with others shoes, please FIX IT.
Sounds still isn't fixed?

Mar 17

lisamc21

I'm a new listener and saw all the critical reviews mentioning the massive sound issues. Most reviews I saw were from the first 8 months or so of 2024, so I assumed they'd be fixed by now (March 2025). I can't believe they aren't. Wondry, why aren't you addressing this? It's not event just the sound of ads and conversation. The sound leveling is poor even throughout the interview with the host vs the guest. It listens like an amateur podcast with zero attempt to sound level and editing done with the dual Zoom audio instead of each separate audio track. It's doing the great content a major disservice.
WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?

Great content, volume issues. Please correct the difference in volume between content and ads. Audio clips are at different volumes at times too. My eardrums would really appreciate it

More often than not, I enjoy this podcast. If I don’t like an episode, I just skip it. However, I’ve had to skip every episode for the last week or more. I’m sick of the Diddy stuff. I understand it’s a big case, but do you have to make every. single. episode. about it? lots of other cases/crimes happening that could be discussed. I want to hear about those.
