Columbine didn’t end when the gunfire stopped. In the years that followed, the tragedy took on a life of its own—shaped by media myths, martyr stories, and a culture that sometimes blurs the line between curiosity and glorification. In this episode, I unpack the aftermath. The copycat crimes. The “Columbine effect.” The haunting legacy that Eric and Dylan left behind—and how it still shows up today.
I also share the voices of those most impacted, including Marilyn Manson and Dylan’s mother, Sue Klebold, who stepped forward with a message shaped by unimaginable grief and hard-earned insight.
This is the fallout. The ripple. The reason we still can’t look away.
