Dan Taberski's Manifesto

True Crime

Dan Taberski (Hysterical, Missing Richard Simmons) sets off on his most complicated quest yet. He attempts to reclaim the manifesto from the sweaty clutches of mass shooters and return it to its rightful place: with the artists, the warriors, the visionaries, and the mildly crazy regular folks with something to say. Along the way, he even writes his own.

From Audible Originals and Please & Thanks Productions, this 6-part series explores the power of manifestos and asks: Can we get inspired again… and can we do it without a bullet?

1 | To: America. Subject: Last Resort

In February 2013, an ex-cop begins a shooting spree with a manifesto, raging against the Los Angeles Police Department. Ten years later, Luigi Mangione allegedly kills a healthcare CEO and leaves behind a manifesto with his vision for the future.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday and the manifesto that created the country, Host Dan Taberski begins his search for a manifesto that could change the world – and asks whether that manifesto needs a bullet to make its point stick.

A manifesto calls for thousands to swarm a park and occupy it, day and night until their demands are met. But a question arises: what, exactly, do these occupiers want?
