You are so un-American. First, to be employed by the highly leftist New Yorker. Second, how dare you always take the terrorist side for the truth which could not be verified instead of being with the American Marines in this story. Shameful!

Content is probably what you'd expect it to be, I just couldn't get passed the super irritating generic True Crime podcast 'voice'. There's a reason Adam Buxton mocks it.

Season 2 and 3 will enrage you in a way that only great and worthwhile investigative journalism can. The facts are left to speak for themselves and while they aren't fun, they are deeply compelling.

Best podcast. I think of Curtis at least once a month. Thanks to this podcast, he is free today. Binging season 1, waiting for season 3. Can't wait!

Anti law enforcement trash

Clearly this person has an axe to grind. Anti law enforcement views from somebody who clearly knows nothing about criminal investigations.

Some of the best investigative journalism out there. The team work extremely hard to chase every lead and get the facts, and they are also extremely sensitive to the difficulties of cases. Can't wait for more.

Excellent podcast. I lived in MN when Jacob went missing. I learned a lot from listening to the show. God Bless the Wetterling family.

Description

In the Dark, hosted by Madeleine Baran, is an award-winning investigative-journalism podcast that started in 2016. Its first season looked at the mysterious abduction of Jacob Wetterling in rural Minnesota and the lack of accountability that sheriffs face when they fail to solve cases. Season 2 examined the case of Curtis Flowers, who was tried six times for the same crime. In 2020, In the Dark released a special report on the coronavirus pandemic in the Mississippi Delta. In 2023, In the Dark joined The New Yorker and in 2024, it released “The Runaway Princesses,” a four-part series that asks why the women in Dubai’s royal family keep trying to run away. Season 3, released in 2024, asked why no one was punished for the killings of twenty-five civilians in Haditha, Iraq.

In the Dark won the Pulitzer Prize for audio for Season 3. The podcast is a three-time Peabody Award winner and, in 2019, became the first podcast to win a George Polk Award, one of the top honors in journalism. The program has also received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.
