Project Unabom

by Apple TV+ / Pineapple Street Studios

Decades after Ted Kaczynski was caught, society is still asking some of the same questions about him: Is Ted a genius who went astray? Or simply a madman who murdered three people in cold blood? Project Unabom takes an in-depth look back at the Unabomber saga and Ted Kaczynski's legacy from the perspective of FBI agents who worked to solve the case, his brother who turned him in, and Ted’s very own writings.  New episodes out every Monday.  Project Unabom is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Pineapple Street Studios.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The story of Ted Kaczynski has always held my interest. His personal story as well as the FBI’s search for him are fascinating. I don’t recall some of the revelations made in these podcasts as being part of any previous stories. Of significant interest to me was that several women involved in this story made pivotal contributions to the investigation. Ted Kaczynski’s story is relevant today not only because of his anti-technological views. Coincidentally, Luigi Mangione cited Ted Kaczynski as an inspiration. This was an excellent topic with historical relevance.

Really well done and engaging. Brought new insights into the story, and fleshed out Ted’s background. Wish it was longer!

An articulate, profoundly interesting and intelligent podcast. In my top 5 favorites for many reasons. I just finished and want more. Thank you to everyone involved for telling the tale.

I have seen many Unabomber documentaries, but all of them seemed to missing something. Project Unabom filled in all the gaps that it’s visual counterparts were missing. This is simply a brilliant production.
