This is so sad that these women have to live that way with these thugs

I will now subscribe to the New Yorker. This represents what journalism should be and sadly is becoming quite rare.

The first and second seasons are fantastic! I was addicted! Couldn’t stop listening. Binged it! Third season I wasn’t as engaged. But still listened. Thank you so much for reporting such engaging stories. The Curtis Flowers reporting was engaging. All the way to the Supreme Court. Wow!

So these journalists did much better job than the police and DA of that county

The story telling is amazing. From the beginning to the end, you can feel the intensity and urgency. This should be a motion picture!!

Thank you to the journalists who decided to investigate the conviction of Curtis Flowers and did a better job than anyone who had been on the case previously. Thank you for your dedication that resulted in an innocent man finally going free. You both were persistent despite being verbally abused...Read full review »

Such an outrage and what a mirror on how the world is run now.. A big shout out to the brave, Tina and the alleighs, the reporters and most of all Latifa. My heart is with her 💕

Sometimes hard to listen to, but always very interesting.

Riveting. By far the most informatively shocking detail of life as a princess daughter of a shiekh. An amazing story and very revealing. A true “eye opener”. My favorite podcast story.

Great reporting and storytelling! I learned so much from this powerful story.
jake19271 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
It is clear that she just gave up in order to get what little freedoms she could. Her father is a monster. Very well done podcast.
AMFaust000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
This is the reason I began listening to podcasts years ago—gems like this series. It’s grass roots journalism, thoroughly researched, all angles covered and takes you on a journey from beginning to end exposing the exploitation and abuse of the law, biases, corruption and complacency thanks to...Read full review »

I’ve listened to countless podcasts, but this has been one of the most compelling. What’s really telling are the one star reviews. I’m convinced they’re engineered by the Dubai sheik, and that makes the issue of the princesses all the more believable and tragic.

Condé Nast, really?! I thought you had integrity. Journalism is dead.
Kendall is a boys name. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
A captivating story about the plight of women in the UAE, done a great disservice by a contrived format. A pointless cohost asking questions that are obviously going to be answered by the host telling the story. It is literally scripted this way, for what purpose? At least hire someone with...Read full review »

I am torn. I’m writing this as I finish season 2. I absolutely love this series and what season 2 accomplished, but I was left with an odd feeling in my stomach about the way the Willy J Hemphill episodes and the wrap up episodes were handled. I feel that there is a good chance that Hemphill...Read full review »

This podcast is one of the best I’ve heard. Storytelling at its best. I highly recommended it.
Xbon94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/24
Well done, In the Dark team! What a sad story.

Great content and delivery! Must listen
Jim3485 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/24
I never know what to say in a review. Really enjoyed this podcast. Madeline and Heidi are excellent storytellers
herladyshp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/24
The narrator simply reads from the New Yorker article with a little back and forth with a side kick to make it seem more natural.
adfgheyr via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 02/23/24
All three seasons of In the Dark are intriguing, captivating and wonderfully told. I’m excited for what comes next.
Zacy888 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/22/24
I’ve listened to endless podcasts over the years and this is one of, if not the, best I’ve ever listened to. So well done, so interesting. #FreeLatifa
LindsSavage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
What an incredible story! It feels like the plot of so many Hollywood movies. But if it’s all true, then Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktou is one of the most dangerous men in the world.
FireVaney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
Thank you for this podcast. It was very eye opening. I had heard of (former) Queen Haya and her work but had not realized her “royal” relationship with Shamsa & Latifa. Ivanka Trump was only a woman supporter in word only , and the media the world stage provided her — she did Nothing for...Read full review »

I love this podcast - such great stories, reporting and narration.
lmcallis6 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/21/24
These Dubai Folks are just abusive. End of story. Stay away.
Glacier1975 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/24
A true tale so haunting, I couldn’t put it out of mind. So compelling, I had new episode drop dates on my calendar so I could listen as soon as possible. The narration is straightforward and clear. I wish Latifa was free, but I don’t believe she is.
heudhevr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/24
I’m only on the first season, but I’m ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS PODCAST!! It’s so interesting and gives me the chills. If you like mystery and horror, THIS PODCAST IS FOR YOU!!!!!
foundlover0987654321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/24
One of the worst stories I’ve ever heard told in a very articulate and direct way. This is so wrong! How is this even able to happen? Great podcast but I wish it was a story that didn’t need to be told. Prayers for this man and his family.
shay9374 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/24
Just listened to season 1. Very biased and 1 sided. Has a whole episode sympathizing with sex offenders and even interviewing a man that tried to meet up with underage girls and portrays him as a victim of the system. If this is what The New Yorker is like then I’m not surprised it’s failing.
IzebuI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
This podcast made my cry, angry, happy, just all the emotions. I listen to so many true crime podcasts and this is INCREDIBLE journalism. The best I’ve ever listened to
ama475 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/13/24
I’ve listened to this podcast from the very beginning. I wanted to say that as a conservative, I still believe the state got it wrong AND that the investigative journalism here is top notch. I do hate that some people given a mic make all conservatives look so narrow minded— I promise I’m right...Read full review »

Perfect example of turning compassion into proactive passion. Such a tragedy as this needed proactive passion. Fantastic work everyone!
Yàtmá via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
I just finished listening to Season 2. it would’ve been so much easier to listen to if it had been without the obvious prejudice against whites, Republicans and the South. The work that was done was good. The production was good. The prejudice is very offputting.
SociallyLiberal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to. Madeleine Baran and her team of researchers brought this true story to life. The content we have heard over and over unfortunately, but in this case it has a justified ending. But the time and events in between, makes you boil with rage and...Read full review »
TidypantryNOW via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/09/24
Just finished series 2 and it was epic. Impartial, extremely well researched and most importantly does not talk down to the listeners so you really get the nitty gritty of the legal system which is riveting. Madeleine and her team should get all the awards for their effort, prowess and...Read full review »

This podcast is compelling and very moving! Great work team.
KingTiras via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Very well done. Perfectly structured, easy to follow, very interesting back up stories and history information on the side. Perfectly researched, to an extent no one else could probably ever (because expensive). Investigative Journalism at its best :) thank you!!!
Frank1in-123455 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 02/06/24
I was a fan of the original In the Dark podcast. I was unsure about the Runaway Princess crossover. I have to say, I love the all the seasons. The reporting on the princesses was really well done.
Recycle Freak5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
And I LOVE Madeline Baran!
Nasusr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
As a fan of true crime, and a child safety advocate I am appalled and disgusted by the host of this show. It was not her blatant distaste for law enforcement over all that made this a hard listen but rather her support of sexual predators. Instead of focusing on the disgusting criminal that...Read full review »

Unbelievably detailed and fantastic investigative journalism, explained in an easy to understand manner. Compelling cases that keep the listener engaged. Just brilliant.
Lunavyre via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/02/24
I’ve just spent 10 minutes listening about a horrible awful man with no reason why I should listen to your podcast. what’s your point?
FUMAGA!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
The new season “Runaway Princesses” is fantastic. But the incessant hyping up of The New Yorker and the irritating push to make us listen in The New Yorker app are really tiresome. I get it. The New Yorker is great. I am already a subscriber. So I don’t need to listen to a host gush about how...Read full review »

CHRISSYB1234567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
Interesting story and great reporting. I love Madeleine and all past seasons but her presence in The Runaway Princess is unnecessary and distracting. Trust your listeners enough to connect the dots without having her randomly ask obvious questions to lead us there - it messes with the flow of the...Read full review »

Hanging on every word of this reporting. Clear that partnership with New Yorker has been a win. So excited In the Dark is back! Thank you thank you and keep up the amazing work!
