We might remember famous scandals like the Amy Fisher case or the murder of Kitty Genovese. But take a closer look, and the story is very different. Longreads founder Mark Armstrong speaks with the hosts of the “You’re Wrong About...” podcast to understand why.

This episode is a production of Longreads and Charts & Leisure, produced by Mark Armstrong and Jason Oberholtzer. Hosted by Catherine Cusick. Mixed by Michael Simonelli.

Longreads' theme music was written and performed by Brian Donohoe.
