Our take on In The Dark podcast

With episodes that are about 50 minutes long, In The Dark is a must-listen for fans of true crime and investigative journalism. Each season, hosted by Madeleine Baran and a team of investigative journalists, digs into a different case. Season 1 focuses on Jacob Wetterling's abduction and local law enforcement's failures. Season 2 explores the case of Curtis Flowers, who faced trial six times for the same crime. The podcast also features a unique piece on COVID-19 in the Mississippi Delta. In The Dark is a business news podcast by The New Yorker.
