At a time when we’re debating where policing is going, we’re going to tell you where the police came from. Guided by Peabody award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika, Empire City will provide the first accessible narrative history of the American police and its place in popular culture. Who are the police? And why were police departments created in the first place? To find answers, we’re going to tell the origin story of the largest police force in the world: The NYPD. We begin in the late 1800’s at a moment when the entire police force was on trial. It’s the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the NYPD, and it all plays out like a high stakes courtroom drama. What follows is the action-packed account of how the NYPD got to this point and what happened next. It involves Black abolitionists fighting slave patrols in the courts of Gotham; two rival police forces duking it out for power at City Hall; the origins of the true crime genre; and how the NYPD spread their tactics worldwide.

In the first episode of Frozen Head, you learned about two ordinary people whose deaths were anything but. No, this isn’t one of those true crime docs about a series of brutal murders. Rather, these two unassuming people were a part of a controversial movement – the right to be preserved cryogenically in the hopes of a second chance. After their deaths, decades apart, all hell broke loose between cryonicists and those who reject the supposed quack science of reanimation.
If you want to hear the rest of Frozen Head, you can binge all seven episodes exclusively on Wondery Plus.

Two dead bodies. Two ordinary deaths… or so it seems. But these two cases, decades apart, will pit cryonicists against mother melters.

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.
When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next.
