Run, Bambi, Run

by Apple TV / Campside Media

Laurie Bembenek was a Milwaukee police officer and Playboy Club bunny before being arrested for the murder of her husband’s ex-wife, a crime she insisted she did not commit. Nicknamed “Bambi Bembenek,” she became a tabloid fixation, a feminist cause célèbre and, after she escaped from prison, an American folk hero, though she was never exonerated. Journalist and Campside Media co-founder Vanessa Grigoriadis takes a fresh look at the case Diane Sawyer called the "most glamorous murder case of the 1980s.” New episodes out every Monday. Run Bambi Run is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Campside Media. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts. https://apple.co/RunBambiRun

Excellent job of portraying the reality of the 70’s and women in a male dominated workplace

I love the way that you made these characters so human. I was engulfed in this story. Thank you for shedding light on such a strong, self-confidence and powerful woman.

I stumbled across this podcast and I am glad that I did. The podcast puts things into perspective. It was well thought out, well investigated and well told. This podcast gives Lori Bembenek justice.
