Confronting OJ Simpson with Kim Goldman

Twenty-five years after her brother, Ron Goldman, was murdered alongside Nicole Brown Simpson, Kim Goldman is ready to confront everyone—jurors, prosecutors, detectives, O.J. Simpson and his lawyer. The series begins with Kim and her father recounting how they discovered that Ron had been killed, before Kim turns the mic to her brother’s friends, who are now mostly in their 50s. At first, it seems like the show might just be a trip down memory lane. But by the second episode, listeners get to hear Kim’s interview chops and realize what the show is really about: grappling with the stories we create to justify our choices and learning to make sense of a tragedy that unfolds in the spotlight. Though there have been many works about the Simpson case in recent years,  Confronting  manages to stay fresh, thanks in part to the deep involvement of the major players in the case and to Kim’s commitment to interrogating the past.
