The 12-episode series revisits the making of Manson and homes in on the turbulent two years leading up to the infamous, brutal murder of seven people, including actress Sharon Tate, by members of the Manson Family. Now, in the wake of Manson’s death, the Panoply podcast network has released the Manson season of You Must Remember This as its own podcast: You Must Remember Manson.
The podcast series, written and hosted by Karina Longworth, delved into sides of Manson that rarely get discussed today: his early life, his dreams of Hollywood stardom, his ability to manipulate his way into favor with Hollywood’s elite - usually offering the bodies of his female followers in exchange for the notice. In fact, for a heady time between 19, Manson was something of a Hollywood insider, primed to coast his way to music industry success. If that pairing of concept and subject seems surprising, it’s because Manson’s personal connections to Hollywood, its influence on him, and his manipulation of its culture have been largely written out of his legacy as a fringe megalomaniacal cult leader. In 2015, the podcast You Must Remember This, which explores “the secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood’s first century,” dedicated an entire season to Manson, who died on Sunday. One of the best cultural examinations of the late Charles Manson in recent memory just became its own series.
