"The Coldest Case in Laramie" starts off as straight true crime but reveals itself to be an exploration of the fallibility of memory, the stories we tell ourselves, and how this all intersects with the criminal justice system. Amazing work by @Kim_Barker. nytimes.com/2023/02/16/podca…

What started out as a passion project is out in the world. Please listen to our show on what happened to Shelli Wiley. I’m hopeful it will hold the police to some account, and that it may shake something loose.
Our new show is here: In "The Coldest Case in Laramie," @Kim_Barker revisits an unsolved murder that took place while she was in high school, nearly 40 years ago. Hear the eight-part series today. nyti.ms/3XV1Q6j

This week’s Experiment is months in the making from @AMelathe + me. It tackles a rule at the heart of the Derek Chauvin trial that you might not have heard of. We ask: Can a historically unjust rule be used to get justice? #TheExperimentPodcast theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

This week’s episode of “The Experiment” is by yours truly, and it’s about the Rock Doc, a nurse practitioner in Tennessee who is accused of overprescribing opioids and exchanging prescriptions for sex and money (which he denies). He was also Very Online. theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

This week's 'Experiment' is about VACCINES! Amid the most ambitious vax effort *ever*, when our ability to get out of the hell we've been living in is dependent on how many ppl will get the shot, we asked: Where did fear of vaccines even start? THREAD theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

Good morning! I have a new episode of THE EXPERIMENT out today. I talked to @Ty_Seidule about his book "Robert E. Lee and Me," the seductive, racist lie of the Lost Cause and how finally confronting it can save our democracy. smarturl.it/theexperimentpod…

The Experiment is my can't wait, refresh-the-feed podcast these days. @hooliwho is a rockstar. The whole team is preposterously good. And the latest from @TracieHunte is phenomenal. (Also partial to the casual Miami-ness of this show. Makes me so happy.) wnycstudios.org/podcasts/exp…

Good morning! @gabrielleberbey and I have a new show out today about the Filipino-American nurses who’ve been on the frontlines of our battle against COVID. Please listen when you get a chance.
This week on #TheExperimentPodcast, @TracieHunte and @gabrielleberbey report on a group of nurses who came to the U.S. for new opportunities—and who decades later found themselves at the center of the coronavirus crisis. Listen now: on.theatln.tc/CXOPdQx

This episode by @TracieHunte on Radio Lab was so damn good. Kind of thing you wish you found first but glad you didn’t cuz you wouldn’t have done it as well as Tracie does here. open.spotify.com/episode/1C9…

There’s a very fine line between spectacular writing that inspires me and writing that is so spectacular that it’s demoralizing.

Floodlines—the story of an unnatural disaster—is here, and it feels incredibly urgent. A triumph from Vann, @katlwells, @AMelathe, and team. theatlantic.com/podcasts/flo…
