Just episodes please!

Thirdbluemeadow

I love dateline, but I really, really wish you would focus on just releasing episodes, not repeating episodes, and not adding in all of the extra stuff. Your show has been on for so long, there must be so many stories you could put into podcast form. That's why people are listening. You're spreading your focus onto too many different things now. Return to your roots!
Stop the fluff please

I LOVE Dateline…but it is so painful to be a subscriber now…Talking Dateline and True Crime Updates are below the standard of the Dateline that was hard-earned from years of experience. Please stop the fluff content and focus on what you do best.
I love dateline.

MiMi…..$

But there is one host I cannot listen too. Andrea does not know how to narrate. Everytime she reads a sentence and gets to the end, she makes her voice higher. On Deadly Obsession, she literally didn’t let people answer her questions but would butt in to the point of annoyance. Not to mention the stupid comments she makes “oh you’re gonna make me cry!”. Not to mention thinking she’s an investigator with the detectives. Everyone else on this show is great.

New content is few and far between. There is so much rehashing and repeated stories too. The “Talking Dateline” is garbage. I never listen to them. Don’t subscribe, it’s worthless and you’re throwing away money. I wish they’d just tell new stories.
Please make a channel just for dateline episodes

matilda956

I love the podcast content, but I rated it “3/5” because of all the filler content episodes (talking dateline, after the verdict etc) I usually listen in my car and it makes it hard when I have to go back to the main page every time to play the next dateline episode. If it was just dateline episodes, the next episode would play automatically which is much easier Please go back to just posting dateline!!
