"Murdering Malachi" is a special limited series by The Redacted Podcast, produced by Matt Bender and Pamela Bender.

In this deeply moving finale to the "Murdering Malachi" series, we catch up one more time with Malachi and explore his raw and poignant reflections as he navigates his harsh current realities of aging, lost dreams, and the struggle for survival. Through vivid storytelling, Malachi recounts his journey from moments of joy and success to the depths of despair and physical pain. He shares his experiences of homelessness, severe medical issues, and the kindness of strangers that have kept him going. This episode dives into the existential crisis of midlife, the loss of hope, and the relentless fight to find a sense of purpose and peace.

When we first started this series with Malachi, the idea of "Murdering Malachi" was more figurative than literal—shedding the person shaped by abuse, mental illness, poverty, and addiction. In the end, he's not really Malachi; he's just a man named Eric from Philadelphia. We've decided to start a GoFundMe for Eric with the goal of providing him with a used travel trailer and a place to stay for a year. If you've enjoyed listening to his story and would like to help, the link to the GoFundMe is below.
