Minnesota Public Radio will deliver MPR Connects! in St. Cloud on
October 18 at the Tuscan Center. The community is welcome to attend
and learn more about _In the Dark
[https://www.apmreports.org/in-the-dark/season-two]_, the Peabody
Award-winning podcast from APM Reports, the investigative and
documentary news team that covered the Jacob Wetterling case in its
first season and returned for a second season to follow the story of
Curtis Flowers [https://www.apmreports.org/in-the-dark/season-two].
Released this spring, _In the Dark_’s second season uncovers holes
in the case against Flowers, a Mississippi man tried six times for the
same crime. Host and award-winning lead reporter Madeleine Baran
[https://www.apmreports.org/madeleine-baran] and APM Reports
editor-in-chief and managing director Chris Worthington
[https://www.apmreports.org/chris-worthington] will lead a discussion
on how the investigative team chooses their stories and how they
pursue them, as well as the work done to make this podcast, and pursue
questions about the case against Flowers. The team’s reporting
involved relocating to Mississippi for a year, talking to hundreds of
people and reading thousands of documents to understand how Flowers
came to be tried multiple times for the same crime and why the same
local prosecutor continues to try him.

[https://www.newyorker.com/culture/podcast-dept/why-in-the-dark-may-be-the-best-podcast-of-the-year]_,
“Its combination of narrative excellence, surprising discoveries,
and ethical rigor result in what may be the best podcast of the
year.”
