"Murdering Malachi" is a special limited series by The Redacted Podcast, produced by Matt Bender and Pamela Bender.
In a profound exploration of the human psyche, The Redacted Podcast presents "Murdering Malachi: Episode Two – Misfit Manifesto." Join us as we delve into the complex layers of empathy, cause and effect, through the lens of Russian philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky's contemplation of the moral gray areas of life. This episode takes an unexpected turn when Malachi, a man whose life has been a tapestry of struggle and survival, shares a raw and revealing glimpse into his own tumultuous journey.

As we peel back the layers of Malachi's experiences, we're confronted with the stark realities of addiction, the weight of self-reflection, and the power of conscience. Our host, Matt Bender, engages in a meandering conversation with Malachi, revealing wisdom and self-torment in equal measure. From the streets of LA to the quiet desperation of a life lived on the fringes, Malachi's insights challenge us to consider what truly makes us human.

Through candid discussions about the darkest corners of his past, Malachi forces us to reckon with the idea that sometimes, the greatest harm we can do is not physical but emotional, breaking spirits rather than bones. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even when faced with the temptation to self-destruct.

Don't miss this episode's journey into the heart of darkness and back again, as we seek to understand the man behind the murder story and the philosophy that drives him. Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will leave you contemplating the intricacies of human existence and the redemptive power of truth.
