About
One of last year’s buzziest podcast success stories was Up and Vanished, which reexamined the cold case of a missing Georgia schoolteacher. Documentarian-turned-podcaster Payne Lindsey and his producing partner Donald Albright return with this podcast produced by Tenderfoot TV and HowStuffWorks to delve into the decades-old case of the Atlanta Child Murders, which saw at least 28 children killed—most of them black boys from poor neighborhoods. Featuring interviews with law enforcement, Atlanta residents, and with the convicted killer Wayne Williams, Atlanta Monster is a detailed and important examination of a traumatized community, a horrifying crime, and a city’s systematically flawed response to both.
