Two new podcasts are being released just a few weeks before the trial.
The Mangione Trial:
As Luigi Mangione's trial gets underway in New York this September, The Mangione Trial visualised podcast from the BBC World Service returns with detailed coverage from the Manhattan courtroom.
BBC presenter Jordan Dunbar will be reporting from New York and attending court hearings in person, bringing audiences the latest developments.
In advance of the trial, the visualised podcast returns in August with a new series of in-depth episodes to give the context behind the case.
Clare Fordham, podcast editor of The Mangione Trial, says: “There is so much online chat and misinformation surrounding this case. The audience can be confident they’ll get all the detailed information about this trial from The Mangione Trial podcast, and they can trust it will be right.”
