NWJ692- Programmed to Kill: The Duo of Lone Wolves, Leonard Lake & Charles Ng

from No Way, Jose! · host Jose Galison

In this gripping episode of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison kicks off a new series of shorter-format deep dives into the chilling tales from Dave McGowan's infamous book, "Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder." Titled "NWJ692- Programmed to Kill: The Duo of Lone Wolves, Leonard Lake & Charles Ng," Jose delivers a solo 20-minute presentation unpacking the twisted partnership of these two notorious figures. From Lake's survivalist obsessions and elaborate bunker fantasies to Ng's role in their sadistic crimes, Jose explores how their paths converged in a remote California cabin, leading to a spree of abductions, torture, and murders that shocked the nation in the 1980s.Drawing on McGowan's provocative analysis, Jose examines the darker undercurrents of conspiracy, mind control, and societal programming that allegedly influenced such killers, questioning whether Lake and Ng were truly "lone wolves" or products of a larger, hidden agenda. This episode sets the stage for more bite-sized explorations of "Programmed to Kill's" most haunting stories, blending true crime with thought-provoking commentary.
