  • More actual Dateline episodes please

    I’ve been a listener for years, but I’m disappointed by the lack of new episodes. Especially, the longer episodes. I’d rather forgo all the extra stuff and get back to your bread and butter.

  • On hiatus? Short episodes??

    —What’s going on with the deluge of short episodes recently? We need the 1hr plus episodes back

    Feb 6 was the last actual new full case. Since then it’s been repeats of “Dateline Original” and “Talking Dateline”. Neither of which is why I’m a premium member. I especially dislike “Talking Dateline”. I get so annoyed when those eps pop into my feed!! I pay the premium for NEW episodes weekly. Not this other nonsense.

  • Talking Dateline is the WORST

    Talking Dateline is horrible, read the reviews. Nobody likes it. It feels like you are just mining for material. It’s lazy and uninteresting. Lose if please.

  • Well investigated, well read and well recorded

    Great to hear Lester Holt introduce the show as he’s the nicest man in America. Such a calming vibe by him.

    And I love the way Kieth reads the stories. But all the narrators are good.

    The new sound engineer needs commended as the levels are pretty good. Much better than podcasts with extremes in volumes between voices. Dateline has much better balance, so is good to fall asleep to also.

    However the sound effects in the earlier episodes were terrible. Poor quality audio sound bites. Thankfull... more
