Producer:
The Set
It’s the crack era. The most violent time in New York City history. The NYPD is fighting a losing battle and instead of protecting the city from drug dealers, some police officers have become them.
The Set is a 10 episode, never-before told, first-person documentary of the biggest police corruption scandal in NYPD history and the investigation that uncovered it all.
My Favorite Episodes
The Wild Kingdom
Welcome to the NYPD’s 30th Precinct, the “Three O,” during the height of the crack epidemic. Drug dealing has taken over the neighborhood, West Harlem, and it threatens to do the same to the Three O. Officer Barry Brown sees corruption all around him, but he’s keeping a dangerous secret.
The Slippery Slope
Officer Joe Walsh joins the 30th Precinct with the best intentions, but the culture tests him, and every other cop in the precinct, on a daily basis. Officer Barry Brown learns about another side of his partner.
The Takedown
The investigation into the 30th Precinct comes to a dangerous head, and action must be taken before everything blows up. The first wave of arrests are made, and scandal grips the city.
A River of Sh**
The arrests in the Three Oh continue to pile up, making it the biggest corruption scandal in NYPD history. Officer Blake Struller reaches the end of his line, as does Officer Joe Walsh.
Reviews
One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to lately. Like a good documentary, the people tell their story in their own words, and they’re all good storytellers…

This is how a podcast should be. In-depth, thorough, well narrated. Well done.

I listen to true crime podcasts constantly. Top of the bar is In the Dark, and Serial. I would say this podcast is right up there.
