Artwork for The Doodler

The Golden State Killer. The Unabomber. Ted Bundy. You’re probably familiar with these serial killers. But in the mid-1970s, another monster terrorized San Francisco’s gay community. He was coined “The Doodler,” and he may have been responsible for as many victims as the Zodiac Killer, yet you’ve probably never heard of him. Plagued by a complicated investigation, a frightened public, and the hesi... more

  • Solid SF Crime Story

    Fagan has the cred, and sometimes cynicism and salt, that only comes from decades on the streets of SF writing about the issues that matter. This podcast was both interesting and entertaining, especially for this native son of SF. I was left wanting more and feeling like we had to all pitch in to solve this. There are so many unknowns but developing the character background of the various people involved then and now makes this true crime mystery a binge-worthy podcast. I skipped Starbucks and w... more

  • Simply put it's somewhat boring. Narratively it's like an NPR Podcast and casts heroes and villains according to the progressive stack. I.e. all cops are corrupt, tacit homophobes unless those cops are black guys in which case they are hip, cool, streetwise dudes who are respected by the streets. The attempt to draw characters and humanise the victims is admirable but subtextually it fetishises black people and valorises gay people to canonical status. It's a bit weird/phoney in that regard.

  • Disheartening

    I think it’s pretty crazy to say how important it is for stories like these to be told, and how they’ve been ignored, and then put all episodes save one behind a paywall. It really makes me think that the most important thing ISN’T the story and solving this case.

  • Waste of time!

    Read wiki instead you can get more information on the suspects. This was a waste it gave no information on suspects it’s just a biography of each suspect . You can learn more on wiki
