48 Hours

by CBS News

“48 Hours” uncovers the narrative behind crime and justice cases that have left a lasting mark on society. Award-winning CBS News correspondents thoughtfully examine the complexities of each crime by transporting you to the heart of the investigation through key evidence and gripping interviews with critical figures from the case. The unmatched reporting has made a tangible difference in countless lives, leading to the exoneration of wrongly convicted individuals and the reopening — and resolution — of previously closed cold cases.Listen to a new “48 Hours” episode every Monday and then go deeper into the case on Tuesdays with the immersive “Post Mortem” series — producers and correspondents join host Anne-Marie Green to discuss key evidence, dead ends, mishaps, and stranger-than-fiction twists they faced in the field. Also available on the 48 Hours YouTube channel. Plus, every Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll revisit a classic “48 Hours” episode. Get ad-free access to 48 Hours podcasts by subscribing to 48 Hours+.

Simply a professional and well written podcast. No sensational commentary. Just the facts! Thank you 👍🏼

Club ZZ · Apr 2024

It would’ve been really refreshing if at any point in the story that the element of White male privilege afforded Chichester-Rockefeller complete access without any consequences. Nobody questions White men. Had he been a man of color, this podcast would’ve been 30 seconds-because nobody believes them. The narration needs to be much more intersectional with the awareness that Brown & Black folks listen and support your program as well. Thank you.

chocolatecityusa · Jan 2024

I’m really glad to see that CBS values Ann Marie Green as much as her viewers do. I find, and I’m sure others do also her perspective and her real genuine personality comes through in everything she does. She is like every woman, and she represents such a large amount of women going through their day-to-day adventures in life. I enjoy 48 hours. I enjoy the morning news on CBS. I listen to all the podcasts. I look forward to every episode. I see great things for Ann Marie in the future I look forward to seeing Ann Marie anchoring the CBS evening news in 10 years.

my little dog · Dec 2023

The lesson this tragic case taught us is a valuable one. If you take it to heart, it could save your life. Once a relationship ends, don’t be alone with your ex. That’s it. Simple rule, but take it seriously, please. Nathanial Fujita was a popular, handsome, bright and personable young man. No one ever could have guessed what was coming. Even despite his erratic behavior in the final days, which must have scared Lauren, or at least made her very uncomfortable; no one thought he was capable of doing what he did. Don’t ever meet up “for closure”. You don’t owe it to him to “say good bye, one last time.” Whatever they’re saying to convince you, just no. Let Lauren teach us all to be a little bit stronger. A little safer.

Rebecculous · Sep 2023

The stories and content is good but the loud unrelated music is very distracting. It almost seems disrespectful to the survivors telling their stories.

Leahmb78 · May 2024

Why the unnecessary sound effects and music? Not only does it distract from the story, it’s also at a volume that makes it even more of a nuisance. Not to mention the fact that it’s completely corny and even cringey. The latest episode, RR Killer, is one of the most egregious examples of this. I gave up after 10 minutes of screeching violin music completely overriding the speaker.
