If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you
apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is
the story of the line and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation.
He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to
everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t
just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the
makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door comes a story about empathy, deception, and
obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six-episode
series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/Murderish .
