Trailer
A three-part series from This American Life producer Nancy Updike. When Rachel McKibbens’s father and brother died suddenly last fall, two weeks apart, from Covid, she’d had no idea her father was sick, and no idea her brother was dying. They were unvaccinated, but the story of what happened started long before that. All three episodes of "We Were Three," a new show from Serial Productions and The New York Times, are available wherever you get your podcasts on Thursday, October 13th, 2022.

Customer Reviews
Touching
Beautiful tragic /true story that weaves from the present to past, uncovering by small layers the decades of pain that reside within one family of Three, as in title. Resonated as my childhood had similarities. What you are left with two divergent stories of two siblings and how each finds their redemption or hides from it. All the feelings of regret, sadness, anger of loss
Touching
Tender, raw, emotive, tragic.
Not an extraordinary story but perhaps that’s the point. It could happen to any of us. The frustration that people you care about follow a different set of values which ultimately leads to tragedy.
I loved the gritty honesty portrayed here.
Give it it’s due. Well done folks.
Why is this a story?
Disclaimer: I’ve only listened to two episodes but I don’t get it. Why is this a story? Who cares?
Love listening to Nancy Updike though.
