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 narrator sounds like a high 18 year old young woman. It’s incredibly distracting from the content, which is engaging and interesting. I have no idea why a journalist would think this is an appropriate way to narrate.”

“I love this podcast. I love the format, the content, everything. With one exception, at times, not the entire podcast, the host’s vocal fry is too distracting.”
