  • Bring a k the original dateline podcasts

    Go a I to original dateline podcasts. It is frustrating having the new ones that are more “newscast” oriented. It’s not the same it’s not as in depth.

  • Intrigue Abounds

    Like many armchair detectives, I have cases that I find intriguing. Missing cases are some of the most baffling. I like the straightforward approach taken in this series. I don't like it when the media reports in circles and never seems to get to the point. This one doesn't do that. I write a young adult series and learn a lot from the podcasts including terminology and twists of fate. This is really good for that.

  • On the tee, but no swing

    As much as I love Dateline, Andrea Canning, and Josh Mankiewicz, I find this show aggravating. I just spent half an hour listening to people saying how they don’t know where their favorite pastor went, and after a brief suggestion of possible foul play, the episode was over. They spent a half hour putting the ball on the tee without taking a swing. Not my idea of a mystery. Bring this story back when there’s something worth talking about.
