What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dateline tends to cover more popular cases, and in many cases the victims are not minorities. I love that they’re spotlighting what these families are going through, and bringing awareness to all types of missing people. No one is less important.

Apft girl · Sep 2024

I love Dateline because of its 360 approach to every story. In Missing in America, they don’t seem to be able to develop the episodes enough to do this. The missing people featured here deserve attention but it seems like a lack of information regarding the disappearance often leads to pontificating about social issues. Awesome that the cases they cover are ones not given the attention they deserve and I applaud what they are doing. I hope that the increased awareness leads to new information and a resolution for these families. In summary: worth listening to, just not as in depth and unbiased as Dateline.

If you like this podcast, you would love the podcast True Crime Kent. The production value and writing is fantastic and hard to beat. I am sure that true crime Ken will be at the top of your podcast list.

WheatgeassDan · Jul 2023

Good show, my only complaint is that Josh Mankiewicz is about the worst interviewer of all time. He asks penetrating and thought-provoking questions such as, when questioning a pregnant lesbian’s sister, “how did that happen?” or asking the police officer in the same episode about a convicted criminal in an armed robbery case, “did he have a gun?” Seriously, what a joke. Too bad there aren’t 5 Keith Morrisons. The content is pretty good, a notch below Dateline, but still worth a listen. Hopefully this show will help solve some cases (or even a single case would be great), so I’ll keep tuning in.

If you really want to make an impact, find out what has happened to the 85,000 missing unaccompanied minors who crossed the southern border. Or check out the 450,000 minors placed by HHS into hands of people with dubious background checks. Find the ones who are being trafficked or used for cheap labor. These kids lives are on the line, politics be damned!

Maybwacke · Nov 2023

I was looking forward to this new podcast, but the very first thing I heard when I started the very first episode was a message from an anti-choice organization. (It’s spun as an adoption-support org but makes the true intent clear; e.g., “I was pregnant and didn’t know what to do!” “We’ll help you make the right choice.”) Given the extreme divisiveness of this issue - especially right now, in a post-Roe world - why on earth would a popular (and wealthy) mainstream media outlet accept funds from an anti-choice organization? Surely there are many neutral advertisers who’d like to support a Josh Mankiewicz podcast. Or - and I hope this is not the case - is HE anti-choice? Is this something Josh believes in and chooses to promote via his high-profile platform? This is a missing-persons podcast. Why get political? It’s unnecessary and you’ve now lost at least one subscriber who has long been a real fan of Dateline and its reporters and spin-offs. I hope you change your minds about this advertiser.
