  • Mortal Sin E2

    I’m sorry but I just need to rant about this episode. She’s a victim!?! She’s a married woman that chose to have an affair. Because he was a pastor and mislead her that makes her a victim? What about her husband and all the lies she told him and her kids to carry on this affair. She’s a grown woman who made the choice. She knows right and wrong. He wasn’t forcing her and threatening her. She is not a victim. Her husband and children (that she drugged to make them sleep so she could go meet up wi... more

  • I love Keith Morrison's voice, the stories are so compelling. I belive the reason I love Dateline Originals and Dateline and Dateline Missing in America is because of the length everyone will go for facts. Dan and "Letters from Sing Sing" are absolutely amazing. Thank you to everyone involved with Dateline!!!!!! 🩵🩵🩵

  • Why pay?

    Why am I paying for a subscription when the full series isn’t made available to me? I love this podcast but unfortunately I’m dropping my subscription because I’ve no idea what I’m paying for. I can’t binge new series, have already heard old series on the free edition and there are rarely new shows. Plenty of reruns but rarely new material. Sorry guys. You used to be one of my favorites until I paid to subscribe. Rates aren’t cheap and I get nothing in return. Goodbye.
