Words That Broke the Case: Betrayal and the Unabomber Manhunt

Huge night for true crime lovers. Andrea Gunning, host of the hit podcast Betrayal, joins the show to discuss the anatomy of betrayal—how trust fractures, how victims find their voice, and what her team listens for when stories don’t add up. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and renowned forensic linguist James R. Fitzgerald, known for his work on the Unabomber investigation, walks us through the linguistic breadcrumbs that helped crack the case: idiolect, tone, and those telltale phrases that reveal a writer’s background. Tune in for all the details.
