Just listened to the most recent pod. I’m assuming you have Nat Eaton on speed dial with all the episodes from Utah. You should just put him on staff, he has a large work load from his state.

I do love dateline, but not talking dateline. I just want the story not a discussion of the story. I know its done to extend episodes, but not for me.

Have not been vibing with Lester’s episodes.

Ya’ll need some new material. I will say you are doing slightly better than 20/20 and 48 hours however ALL of you are regurgitating OLD stuff! Do better!!

New show idea! A show dedicated to the families of the victims of the healthcare industry, how they knew they were going to die if they didn’t get the help they needed. You’ll never run out of episodes!

I like Dateline but the podcast is way too crowded. They put ever single different show in this feed and then break them out in different podcasts. Please just set up a separate podcast for each of your shows and leave this one just for Dateline. I really hate having to skip through 10 different shows on this feed.

Love Jose!

Usually enjoy all episodes. Thank you for not painting the Brian Thompson killer as some vigilante hero. No one has the right to shoot someone else in the streets. I will say the talking dateline with José Díaz-Balart was annoying because he talked sooo slow and hesitated with every word. I had to shut it off.

So stomach-turning to hear privileged, wealthy and oblivious Andrea Canning defend a CEO who gathered massive wealth at the detriment of sick people, because he had kids. What about the children of people who pass every day due to the denial of healthcare? Does she feel bad for those kids? Maybe she can do a show about how hard it must be for kids in the Sackler family next.

The episode about the killing of the United heath CEO completely changed my opinion on this show. Trying to portrait that man as a carrying loving friend is a disservice. The investigation nature of the show now panders to the system. It's been a long run dateline, I'm done! ✌🏼

Emily Simpson?! I'm embarrassed for dateline....

Where is your journalistic integrity? You’re humanizing Brian Thompson and labeling what happened as something against the whole insurance industry. But what about his role in personally being responsible for thousands of denied claims that led to hundreds dying every year? You think BT is the only one with family? You don’t think everyone of those who lost their lives because of him and his company have any families that are still suffering? I expected NBC to be better and not be a mouthpiece for these billionaires. Screw him, his friends, and Dateline for trying to gaslight us.

As a fellow American getting screwed by billionaires. I AGREE WITH LUIGI. free Luigi. Couldn’t listen to this episode.

This episode reminded me of when my insurance denied me care because the doctor didn’t think my tumor would become cancerous and allowed me to suffer for 12 years. My oncologist with another insurance disagreed but couldn’t undo the permanent damage to my body. This episode of them trying to create sympathy for proponents of a broken system where millions suffer in order to make executives and companies rich…what would you expect from disconnected celebrities.

Upon seeing the review of the review made by CeeLee, I also read the review “please no swearing”. Twas as amusing as it was marketed to be. Bro is probably a super strict/devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (Mormons)

Nah dog… If we’re doing a story on Luigi Mangioni let’s start covering all the healthcare claims that Brian Thompson denied directly leading to peoples death

Compared to 20/20 this has 0 information and story line.

I just had to. I read the review, “please no swearing” by ikhunter and it just might be the single most hilarious thing I’ve ever read. Thanks for the laugh buddy.

I don’t have access like they announce. And I’m hearing Keith Morrison reading all the ads. What am I paying for anyway??

Why am I paying a monthly subscription fee, and I still hear commercials in some of the episodes?

The coverage on the retrial of the Murdaugh Murders is absolutely disgusting and bias. Saying you can’t see Alex killing his family because you can’t see a father killing their child….you’re DATELINE! Did you guys forget Christopher Watts and Josh Powell?! You covered both those cases of fathers who killed their children and wives. So obviously fathers DO this and have in the past! That comment was so disgusting and disrespectful to families who have lost their lives at the hands of men who were supposed to be their protector and providers. But for some reason you felt the need to say you can’t see a father doing that in the case of Alex Murdaugh, yea okayyy. The way you guys talked about this case is so gross and the interview with his lawyers was so biased and disgusting. Never listening or watching date line again!

My misophonia is triggered with Haylee Barber’s voice. I do love the show but it’s a little difficult to get through some episodes because of this.

Dateline NBC started off reporting actual news that affects everybody. What laws are being passed? What unchecked businesses are doing to our economy in our environment? What upcoming landmark legal cases have the potential to shape public life for generation? Questions like those above have become more important than ever in these times. And you’re still reporting about true crime. This show should not be part of any news organization. Lester Holt should be ashamed of himself. NBC should report on news and not use people’s pain as entertainment

I listened to the entire Murdaugh update and still don’t understand why it was overturned. What did this Becky person actually do

How are you all not covering Mandy Matney’s targeted reporter harassment! I’m sure you all can relate! Why don’t you all show up for her because she is showing up for YPU!!!!

I’m a bit disappointed about the latest podcast on the murdaugh situation. It’s very clear that to get the interview with Dick and Jim they went easy on them. They fail to give important context the information about how the jurors that claim this about Becky Hill were hunted down by Dick and Jim. The jurors they got to claim these things about Becky was a juror that WAS KICKED OFF OF THE JURY and another that was an alternate that was good friends with the lady kicked off… Also there are allegations that Dick and Jim had a friend influencing Becky to write this book. It all seems very smarmy. Not saying Becky was right, but Dick and Jim orchestrated this.

I don’t care for dateline but occasionally listen to major cases. the willful refusal to pronounce “horror” correctly is both distracting and disrespectful. The murdaugh case isn’t a story about a “hor”

I am hearing more and more bad language being shared in various episodes. For those of us who are trying to find clean language in our everyday activities, please realize they do have a bad effect for those who are not around it. Much like a non smoker who finds themselves around a smoker. I realize the content can be rough but there are other words to get the point across. Longer bleeps as well! Maybe, rating the bad episodes for us to avoid! Thank you for considering this!

I’ve been a paying subscriber for years, but that stops today. These are just the voice recordings from the actual TV shows and now, even if you pay for it, you still get ads. I’m out.

While I enjoy Dateline podcasts very much, I can do without the chitchats and staff convos in Dateline Weekly. If you have more to tell us “behind the scenes” put it in the main story.

Really enjoy the Dateline podcasts but why is NBC so determined to shove Laura Jarrett down our throats? Keep up the good work Dateline team!

I usually watch new Dateline episodes each week on Peacock. I do appreciate the different hosts. However, I’m not a fan Blayne Alexander. Her exaggerated sighs are distracting. During a recent Talking Dateline after show podcast also she kept talking over Keith Morrison.

This is Jimmy 🤠 -|- ^ Spread Jimmy to other podcasts

Why are there now commercial breaks with the paid subscription? Isn’t that the point of paying for a subscription - No Commercials??

💜

Someone needs to listen to these audio files before they’re published. Timeline skips, repeated segments, mid-ad jumps, clearly the final file is not ready for release, but no actual humans are listening to the file before it’s out the door. I don’t know if this is AI slop or outsourcing to editors who either don’t care or don’t speak English, but it’s real bad.

If you ask anyone that knows me, they would know I am the biggest fan of Dateline and more importantly, Keith Morrison, but the amount of times they said Arkansas in The Box episode made me uncomfortable and question my loyalty. As a born and raised Dateline Arkansan… I do find it offensive the amount of times Arkansas was said in this episode. If Keith ever comes back, I most definitely want to be contacted on the Nona case.

Guest reporter Haylee (April 23 ‘26) needs to take some speaking lessons. This isn’t a seventh grade school news cast. Her vocal fryyyy and up speak?? are intolerable and distract from the story. Murder is a serious topic that requires serious reporters.

Can Dateline please talk with 20/20? Dateline releases the same episodes like 1 to 3 weeks later from 20/20. I will say that I prefer Dateline but I barely listen any more because I’ve already heard the same story on 20/20 or another podcast. Also, talking Dateline is awful just release two episodes a week like you use to.

Come on! You cannot allow Someone with such a disturbing vocal fry participate in your podcasts. That was PAINFUL! Good grief - tell her to stop talking like a child, and take the frog out of her throat if she wants to be a journalist Painful.

I’ll be d/c’ing my subscription and switch to 48 hours. Bring back the “old” Dateline. Stat.

I love the normal, regular hour long dateline episodes. What you release now is talking dateline and some 30 minute thing about a current event. We don’t want it 🤷🏼‍♀️ listen to your listeners.

Andrea Cannedresponse is a blockheaded bimbo who couldn’t be sincere if her life depended on it. Cheap plastic.

The show translates naturally into the audio form. So many incredible stories to listen to. My only complaint is that they seldomly release long form versions anymore.

Can y’all please separate the “talking dateline” and other minutiae that don’t actually cover the tru crime bit? Annoying to scroll through to the good stuff.

Now why is it that you guys only release talking Dateline episodes? All in an attempt to make us pay for full episodes! I love Dateline, but I’m just not a fan of Blaine Alexander’s narration voice. I often don’t bother listening.

I had to stop listening after the 5th time the woman kept saying “yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.”

Not worth the price increase when old datelines I’ve seen or listened to in the past are getting republished as new, when single podcasts are getting put into a five+ part series, the “talking” episodes recapping/delivering crime news—it’s hard to navigate through and figure out ones I have actually played/familiar with from the past or actual new ones. I’ll deal with commercials for free…

Love this Dateline podcast! Well-researched, well-written, and well presented. Please keep them coming! My only real beef is with the production assistants who continually start virtually every response with “So, …” and often “Yeah, so…” I recently listened to Marisa Meyer do this in one episode with Andrea Canning so often I lost count, although she is only one among the many who do this. Please be aware, it is distracting, unprofessional, and poor journalistic behavior. Please stop.

The music and AI sounding narration is just bad. I stopped binge streaming when they added in all the updates and random pods. Can’t listen anymore with the music and bad narration
