In The Dark
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 Condé Nast. “The Runaway Princesses,” a four-part series that asks why the women in Dubai’s royal family keep trying to run away, came out in January. In the Dark is a two-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.

Amazing investigative journalism

I’ve listened to all three seasons of In The Dark. All are excellent, but Season 3 really raises the bar. The amount of investigative work done to uncover details of this massacre of Iraqi civilians (who we were supposedly there to protect from insurgents) was amazing … and sobering. I felt like the journalists took great care to portray a balanced view of what really happened. Extremely well done. Glad they have now joined forces with the New Yorker Magazine. That will hopefully bring even more resources and support to this kind of work. Can hardly wait for Season 4!
Great work

This podcast has stayed with me more than any that I can remember. From the compassion Madeleine has telling the story to her relentless investigating. What an awesome job of putting this together.

It seems the new seasons are a long time coming, but well worth the wait. The Curtis Flowers story was truly magnificent, exposing the dark side of crime and justice. (When investigative journalists do a way better job than the justice system). The new podcast on the Haditha massacre is just as riveting, and frankly exposes the cruelty, pain, and lack of accountability regarding this incident. Totally agree with sheaton 314’s review. Anyone would have to be delusional or lying to themselves to excuse and justify shooting men, women and children point blank, execution style. A song by Muse, Psycho - came to mind… Great podcast.
Excellent - should be the daily headline

How do we not know this story? The podcast is very well done. What I don’t understand is how we can think we’re the good guys, and why every member of congress isn’t demanding reform. My only disappointment was when the host interviewed one of the accused, she seemed to softball it all, to the point of seeming intimidated and weak.
