In this official companion podcast, host Jamilah King unpacks the stories and themes of HBO’s new four-part documentary series, Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York.

Jamilah King speaks with guests after each episode, including co-creators Howard Gertler and Anthony Caronna, activist Ceyenne Doroshow, activist and lawyer Andrea Ritchie, as well as family members of the victims, journalists who covered the crimes, and more.
