There’s the official story. And then there’s the truth. The In Between is an investigative narrative podcast that digs into cases where the facts got buried, distorted, or deliberately ignored. Hosted by journalist and screenwriter Mel Barrett, each season unpacks one story that was never fully told, blending deep reporting, legal analysis, and raw personal narrative. Mel doesn’t just rehash hea... more

I stopped listening to Crime Writers On years ago because I thought Rebecca was annoying and now here she is.
I’m so glad she helped Mel make podcasts and mentors her and that they are friends. I’m even happy they have a show together. I just don’t want to listen to it. I’m subscribed to The In Between but am disappointed every time it isn’t the show I want.
Mel you are good enough on your own. Or at least change the name of the show so we know what it is.
This show makes my day every time I listen. I wish I could watch it on YT but my boss frowns on me watching stuff at work.
I applaud you ladies!!
I really enjoy listening to your topic discussions, especially with Rebecca. I love when you follow along on trials, but your episodes are WAY too long! The live episodes are understandable but I find myself skipping through episodes or some all together because some of the chat just goes on for no reason or seeing 2-3 hr episodes makes me avoid them all together. Please consider more structure.
Mel and Rebecca are found a terrific job with this podcast and their banter and genuine friendship is heart warming. I am enjoying their partnership immensely. Great job ladies!
I found this podcast during Karen Read and enjoyed the “local” coverage. Both Mel and Rebecca are individually intelligent and articulate. However, Rebecca grates on my nerves as she is such a know it all, who is constantly trying to prove her cohost wrong and often interrupts or talks over her, often over nothing of true import, she just needs to be right. It gives a vibe of elitism and condescension, rather than cohesion. I can also live without Rebecca rattling off her resume every episode to... more

This show centers on investigative true crime storytelling that challenges official narratives by digging into documents, transcripts, and primary sources. Episodes skew toward legal analysis, FOIA/open-records, and the dynamics between media, law enforcement, and the justice system, often featuring long-form discussions with guests who bring legal, investigative, or journalistic perspectives. A standout trait is the host's hands-on, source-driven approach, weaving personal narrative with rigorous scrutiny of filings, FOIA dumps, and courtroom strategy. Listeners who enjoy deep-dive investigations, transparency in public records, and conversations that scrutinize how cases are reported or litigated will likely find it especially compelling.... more
