In April 2015, a viral post on Facebook about the Boston Marathon
kicked off a wave of controversy. In this week’s episode, we
explore how that controversy turned into a full-blown movement.
Today, a league of at-home vigilante race investigators are
changing the way we police marathons online for everyone to see.
The story takes us from a race in Pennsylvania to the Boston
Marathon to a set of spreadsheets (yes, really) to a runner in a
suburb in New Jersey. For those outed online, we wonder if the
punishment fits the crime. Additional Reading: “Dozens Suspected of
