Our Editor's Take

Losing a loved one is tragic, no matter the circumstances. When that tragedy has no resolution, the impact on the family, friends, and loved ones is even more profound. This podcast explores these scenarios by discussing missing-person cases in the US. Disappeared aims to give those missing persons the attention they deserve. This podcast is an extension of the Disappeared TV series, expanding the reach of this vital quest for answers. The true crime-obsessed fans will enjoy this podcast.

True crime is a compelling genre. It tells stories from reality, many of which are relatable. The people in the stories are real. They have families and lived full lives. Chances are, they even had experiences that listeners can relate to on a personal level. Disappeared combines these compelling elements with superb storytelling. It doesn't glorify or exaggerate; instead, it respects the missing persons. The result is a podcast that is both intriguing and emotional. The details are chilling, and the stories are often unbelievable. Listeners will hear about the disappearance of Lynn Messer. They'll discover the details of the disappearance of Robert Hoagland. And they'll hear about the surprises of the disappearance of Macin Smith. Every episode is a new and different experience.

New episodes drop every week. Most episodes last around 40 minutes. Listeners can listen for jaw-dropping stories. They'll stay for the painfully human moments and pertinent questions. There's power in words, and Disappeared proves it. With enough people interested and invested, this podcast could make a difference. Some mysteries might even unravel with the details provided in these stories. If listeners consider themselves true crime obsessed, this podcast is very entertaining.
