b'\\u201cIn The Dark,\\u201d the acclaimed investigative podcast from American Public Media, is joining\\xa0The New Yorker\\xa0and Cond\\xe9 Nast Entertainment. In its first two seasons, \\u201cIn The Dark,\\u201d hosted by the reporter Madeleine Baran, has taken a close look at the criminal-justice system in America. The first season examined the abduction and murder, in 1989, of eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling, and exposed devastating failures on the part of law enforcement. The second season focussed on Curtis Flowers, a Black man from Winona, Mississippi, who was tried six times for the same crime. When the show\\u2019s reporters began looking into the case, Flowers was on death row. After their reporting, the Supreme Court reversed Flowers\\u2019s conviction. Today, he is a free man.\\nA third season of \\u201cIn The Dark,\\u201d which will be the show\\u2019s most ambitious one yet, is on its way. David Remnick recently sat down with Baran and the show\\u2019s managing producer, Samara Freemark, to talk about the remarkable first two seasons of the show, and what to expect in the future.
