The Secret History of Flight 149

I was searching for a podcast to listen to while walking and stumbled upon this series (Flight 149, Estonia and Antarctica). The reporting is gripping and so well done. I’m hoping there will be more investigative journalism by Stephen Davis…I’m looking forward to hearing/reading more of his work! Thank you for the thorough, thoughtful and informative research!

I am so happy I stumbled across this podcast, after reading an article about the Estonia. Very well produced and truly riveting story telling. Highly recommend.

I listened to it all and I hope to save some the time. It’s just a guy saying “we have no facts” and “maybe there was a crime” over and over and over again.

Thanks for sharing this Season 3 and the difficult attempt to solve this mystery and the different laws of the multiple countries involved. It’s hard to fathom the lack of cooperation among the countries. In some ways nothing has changed over the years since it occurred.

Fairly boring podcast, uninteresting stories tepidly told but Holy smokes this host is hilarious So transparent, so bombastic, so self consequential! Such boring reporting, over-directed interviews, such a predictable arc, such gimmicky “podcast” devices! So desperate to be fascinating! Poor little guy is EXACTLY the kind of person you’d HATE to listen to for hours on end. There’s nothing here. Dude spends years (lol) looking for a grand scheme to uncover when all along it’s just simple stupid human oversight and hubris. But the way he artlessly foreshadows and over explains and continually tries to ratchet up the tension as the season progresses is absolutely sidesplitting. Unless you (like me) enjoy a bit of the schadenfreude of watching a huge dork fall flat on his face failing, Save yourself the trouble. Grossly glorifying someone’s worst day. Total pervert behavior
