The Kids of Rutherford County
From Serial Productions and The New York Times in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South.
For over a decade, one Tennessee county arrested and illegally jailed hundreds, maybe thousands, of children. A four-part narrative series reveals how this came to be, the adults responsible for it, and the two lawyers, former juvenile delinquents themselves, who try to do something about it.

“The topic is compelling and interesting. However, the way the narrator draws out her last word is extremely distracting. She speaks ‘normally’ in other areas, so hopefully she can correct this. It would be an amazing podcast.”

“The vocal fry and the inflection at the end of each sentence is maddening. By ep 3 I resorted to read the transcript for each episode so I could find out what happened with this topic.”

“So interested in the story but I cannot get through the delivery.
Trailing inflection with so much affected vocal fry… it makes the narrator seem superior or uninterested or both.”
