I really like Dateline. Because it shows me there is nasty disgusting people in the world that will do anything stupid. But keep up the good work guys. You really help me be informed

Love the storytelling. I finally broke down and paid for the subscriber addition. It’s so worth it to not have ads! I’d love to see more series like Murder in the Moonlight. I’ve listened to all the series and I’m hooked. I even wake up to Josh yelling at me, or Andrea being so chipper, or Keith, scary Keith…my neighbors are amused when the windows are open. Overall, great show. If I had one complaint, it would be that I don’t get notifications of new episodes all the time, but hey, I’m here every day anyway!

Overall I love Dateline. It’s the only podcast content I pay for. My one quibble with the show is the weird upspeak by Andrea Canning. I get that the hosts want to up the drama, but it’s like listening to someone reading aloud a YA melodrama to teens. It can grate. Other than that…5 stars!

The women reporters in these episodes make my blood boil. They LEAN on the victims/interviewees in a clumsy and obviously disingenuous way, asking questions literally to rip the emotion and trauma out of these people for display. They feel like trauma vampires with little to no concern about retraumatizing these people for the sake of a rating. I understand all true crime media is exploitation on some level, but at least other shows allow the interviewees to tell their own story. The feigned sincerity in their voices literally makes my stomach churn, and for these reasons I am unfollowing this show. Please get informed on how to handle victims of trauma. As a woman who has experienced trauma myself, you should be ashamed.
