Recorded January 23, 2024

Almost 40 years ago, a shooting on the New York City subway left four Bronx teenagers wounded and turned a man named Bernie Goetz into a nationally recognized figure. In the six-part podcast series "Fiasco: Vigilante," host Leon Neyfakh and producer Madeline Kaplan offer a panoramic but intimate view of how this era-defining story unfolded, supported by compelling interviews and the archival collections of New-York Historical’s Patricia D. Klingenstein Library. In conversation with curator Meredith Mann, Neyfakh and Kaplan explore this explosive case and how its central themes remain all too resonant today.
