What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I do love listening to Dateline, but the commentary episodes are a pass for me. 😔 I completely understand that it’s a podcast and some people enjoy that type of content, but I really wish they would make it a separate podcast. I don’t love having the commentary episodes mixed in between the regular Dateline episodes. It makes it harder to keep up with the episodes I actually want to listen to.

No one likes the Talking Dateline. We’re here for the full story episodes. I agree with many of the other reviewers in that I can’t listen to Andrea Canning. Her intonation when narrating is just so contrived that it’s actually a distraction. She’s completely fine when she’s interviewing so I wish she would just read in her normal voice. Please give us a way to filter episodes by host!

I enjoy listening to dateline in a podcast format. The episodes are always thrilling and give me my true crime fix. However, the true crime weekly and talking dateline episodes need to be on their own podcast page. I personally am not a fan of listening to those and it overcrowds the dateline page and I annoying to have to skip/mark them as played to get to the episodes that I want to listen to.

I listen to this podcast religiously. Thankfully there are so many previous episodes I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple to listen to each day, not sure what I’ll do when I only have one per day haha the way they explain timelines and the people stories are excellent.

This episode was so bizarre compared to typical Dateline. The audio effects were horrible and irritating. But moreover, I've never heard an episode that was so disrespectful and unprofessional to a guest who was interviewed. The constant insinuations and build up of "something more happening" or even a romantic relationship between the journalist and Kevin came off as so unprofessional. Dateline has interviewed so many people involved in cases who have questionable backgrounds or who have done bad things and it's always done respectfully with the emphasis on the story, justice, and the visions. This episode about anything but justice or the victims.

Nickie 6 · Aug 2024

Highly recommend cutting out the “Talking Dateline” and other “preview” episodes that are simply promoting another podcast. Get back to releasing actual dateline stories and episodes as that’s what the listeners really want. Not to mention the amount of repeat stories that appear to have little effort put into them or seem to be a copy from other true crime podcasts. Willing to update my review for this if they listen and bring back content actually worth listening to. Prior to this I’d have given it an easy 5 stars.
