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.
—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 horrible, read the reviews. Nobody likes it. It feels like you are just mining for material. It’s lazy and uninteresting. Lose if please.
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
I’m a big Dateline fan but this series was soooo boring. Ugh. 5 episodes that could have been 2. I’ve never had a show drag like this.

Listeners get a blend of deep-dive true crime and behind-the-scenes discussion that accompanies each case. Episodes mix on-site reporting, expert analysis from lawyers and investigators, and producer notes about how investigations unfold, with occasional guest voices from reporters, prosecutors, and actors promoting related projects. The show often covers high-profile cases alongside methodical explorations of investigative techniques, courtroom dynamics, and privacy/technology angles that frame modern investigations. A notable strength is the multi-host format and integration of expert commentary, which can offer both procedural insight and human context for families affected by crime.
