Dateline: True Crime Weekly - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Can we please, as women, agree to not participate in rape culture by referring to confirmed abusers & accused traffickers by their pet names and other nicknames or terms other then “the accused” or Mr. So & So? Because anything else trying to lessen or soften their crimes to protect an image is not only disgraceful, it’s disingenuous reporting of facts and neglect of duty to the victims. This report focused not on the horrific reports of TRAFFICKING MINORS but instead went on and on about slapping and hair pulling on a former girlfriend. Not that that abuse is any better but it certainly avoids the elephant in the room, Andrea. If you won’t (or can’t…thanks NBC) tell the story then don’t bring it up & for God’s sake, don’t do more harm than good by helping push his narrative of being ‘extorted’ by a ‘crazy ex’. This story was nauseating & not for the reporting…for the lack of it. Shame. Do better please. Your voice matters.

i’ll be honest: I listen to lots of true crime podcasts. Some are not worth my time, and they are deleted from my library quite quickly. But you could always trust dateline to produce something worth listening to. Their insights, quality of research, and thoughtful delivery of content are all apparent in every single episode. Whatever it is, if it’s produced by dateline, you’re assured quality. I also love the camaraderie and repartée between the journalist who covered these cases.

You missed two very important tips! When walking alone at night, do not be talking on your cell phone. And do not have headphones on with music in your ears. Your senses need to be on high alert. You need to pay attention to the sound of footsteps behind you or seeing someone lurking behind a tree or loitering in front of your building. Keeping your door locked is hugely important, whether you live on or off-campus.

What a great show! The exact amount of crime talk I need to stay on the pulse of current stories! Andrea is a pro, as always. Dateline never disappoints!
