? EARS TO THE GROUND-

In The Dark has earned its reputation for groundbreaking journalism and ethical reporting. Hosted by journalist Madeleine Baran, this true crime podcast stands out for its deep-dive investigations and its commitment to uncovering the truth.

Three in a row. The podcast first captivated audiences in 2016 with its exploration of the abduction of a young boy 27 years prior. Its second season, released in 2018, focused on Curtis Flowers, a Black man who endured six trials for the same crime and spent over two decades on death row before being exonerated. The third season, which debuted this summer, takes on a harrowing and complex case: the 2005 Haditha massacre in Iraq.

The story: 24 civilians were killed by US Marines. The podcast meticulously investigates why no one has been held accountable for these deaths. Baran and her team delve into previously unseen government and military documents, and conduct interviews with Iraqi civilians, former Marines, and eyewitnesses— including Khalid Salman Rasif, who discovered the bodies of his family members at the scene.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Anghami, Podbean, and Amazon Music.
