New Podcast Series Examines Disappearance of Journalist Austin Tice in Syria
A Guardian culture roundup highlights a suspenseful investigative podcast revisiting the 14-year-old case of missing US marine turned journalist Austin Tice, alongside other notable audio releases.
A new podcast series is drawing attention to the unresolved disappearance of Austin Tice, a US marine turned journalist who went missing in Syria 14 years ago, according to a roundup of the best podcasts of the week published by The Guardian.
The series, hosted by Josh Baker and Sara Obeidat, is described by The Guardian as uncovering "crucial new evidence," some of which has reportedly already generated headlines. Guardian writer Hannah J Davies characterized the show as "sensitive and highly suspenseful."
The Guardian noted that much has changed in Syria since Tice's disappearance, including the end of Bashar al-Assad's regime, but that Tice himself has yet to be found. The podcast is described as being widely available, with new episodes released weekly.
The same Guardian roundup also mentioned another audio production featuring actor Julie Andrews narrating a rendition of Jane Austen's novel Emma, though details on that production were limited in the source material.
