    Kat Torres has the insta-perfect life. She is rich, gorgeous and not ashamed to share it.

More than just a true crime podcast, LUIGI, hosted by Jesse Weber, dares to look beyond the crime and the accused to explore a cultural tipping point in America, asking you to decide - is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?
