In the Dark is a true crime podcast that features one different case each season. Rookie investigators examine crimes and report their findings on the podcast.
“This is my favorite podcast because it takes investigative journalism to the extreme, doing so much in-depth work over 3 years that it was cited in a court of law to help take the case to the Supreme Court,” senior Susan Shobeiri said. “It really highlights the problems with our criminal justice system through a variety of lenses.”

In the past, the show has featured episodes on the future of the Metaverse, a U.S. military failure to report a drone strike that killed civilians in Syria and the Biden administration’s response to inflation.
“They usually go in-depth on one story, which I like because it gives a lot of information on a topic in a short amount of time. I usually don’t have a lot of time throughout the day so having something this short is nice,” AP Government teacher Amanda Williams said.

Hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson, Sad In the City focuses on the struggles of living in New York City whilst adding a humorous twist to each episode.
