In the Dark, hosted by Madeleine Baran, is an award-winning investigative-journalism podcast that started in 2016. Its first season looked at the mysterious abduction of Jacob Wetterling in rural Minnesota and the lack of accountability that sheriffs face when they fail to solve cases. Season 2 examined the case of Curtis Flowers, who was tried six times for the same crime. In 2020, In the Dark released a special report on the coronavirus pandemic in the Mississippi Delta. In 2023, In the Dark joined The New Yorker and Condé Nast. “The Runaway Princesses,” In the Dark’s first collaboration with a New Yorker staff writer, is a four-part series that asks why the women in Dubai’s royal family keep trying to run away. Season 3 of In the Dark is currently in production.In the Dark is a two-time Peabody Award winner and, in 2019, became the first podcast to win a George Polk Award, one of the top honors in investigative journalism. The program has also received an Edward R. Murrow Award and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.

"I am awestruck at the amount and detail of research that went into seasons 1 and 2. This podcast is the reason an innocent man finally gets to walk free after SIX trials, all of which have now been overturned or mistrialed. Also, the last season about Dubai's runaway princesses was super interesting. Superb investigative journalism, and I really enjoy Madeline Barins' storytelling style and voice. "

"I haven't done season 2 yet but season one was really really interesting. You get to hear a lot of sides of a story including a man who was falsely accused and the repercussions that had on his life "

"Season two is hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to (and I’ve listened to a lot in this genre). Mind blowing. It reaffirmed my belief in the necessity of good journalism, and particularly the important role of women in journalism. Season one is incredible too. "
