I knew some of the stories already, but did learn some new details here. Great way to bring attention to case that haven’t been solved. And I can listen to Mankiewicz tell a story all day, every day.
This podcast series is wonderfully executed and strikes an incredible balance between being informative and captivating, yet also respectful and deeply poignant. The narrator not only has the perfect voice for this podcast but is also a person who seems genuinely kind and compassionate, which is so important and invaluable to have as someone reporting within the true crime sphere.
Thoughtful and impactful podcast that centers the victims and their families. Thank you Josh for being such an effective narrator!
I’ve been patiently waiting for this podcast to come back and so far, it has not disappointed me. Listened to the first two episodes and both were so good. I never heard of Teekah’s case before, but it was such an interesting listen. Such a sad story and I hope that little girl is alive somewhere. GOOD JOB AGAIN DATELINE!!
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!
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.
