Our Editor's Take

Sometimes, things in life feel off. In most cases, whatever feels wrong isn't that serious. In others, that feeling of something being “not-right” changes everything. That second feeling? That's what the Something Was Wrong podcast is all about. It tells the true stories and shocking tales of survivors. Each story tells the tale of someone who made it through wild discoveries they never anticipated. Some episodes uncover the secret lives of loved ones. Others dive into the narrow avoidance of historical tragedies. No matter the story, Something Was Wrong reveals what it's like to survive life-changing trauma.

This award-winning docuseries launches listeners into immersive storytelling. The podcast specializes in asking listeners, "Do we really know anybody the way we think we do?" This series features interviews with survivors that guide each story and give context. Top-notch storytelling from host Tiffany Reese ensures a captivating narrative. Something Was Wrong brings listeners to the front and center of each experience. It doesn't only tell a story; it gets the audience up close and personal with real-life shock and survival.

Whichever format listeners prefer, one thing is certain, they have a lot of listening to do. There are over 200 episodes available, and there's nothing wrong with that!
