Global News What Happened To...?

76

You've heard the stories. You’ve felt for the people involved. But what happens after the cameras shut off and the reporters walk away? Just because a story disappears from the news doesn’t mean it’s gone. So what happened to the nuclear disaster at Fukushima? or the trapped Chilean Miners? And did anything actually come out of the Ice Bucket Challenge? Join Global News reporter, Erica Vella on this unique history podcast as she takes you inside these stories and talks to the people at the heart of each one to find out exactly what’s happened since.

    Exactly what I was hoping it would be!!
    I was searching for a podcast to bring forth some new knowledge on the Pulse NightClub shootings, & this pod is everything I was hoping it would be!! I’m super excited to check out all the other episodes & am so glad I found it. I wanted a “dateline”, meets “something was wrong” of sorts. With first hand accounts & the perfect amount of narrative from the narrator. Literally the first time I have q’ued up a pod to try it out & the layout, if you will, is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks so much! Having someone to tell the story, & then being able to get a follow up, is absolutely perfect! I often wonder about the news stories we see, with an incident being reported, but no name, & there is never any follow up info!! This podcast is exactly what the world needs today!! 🥹

    Canada’s justice system
    I can’t continue to listen to your podcast. When a murderer kills 11 people, injures 16 and gets “ life in prison “ , but could get parole after 25 years , that tells me Canada’s justice system is a JOKE !! I can’t listen to any more stories where a killer doesn’t get the true justice they deserve ! PARose

    Amazing Podcast
    This podcast is fascinating. Stories are told here that you’ve never heard. Deeper dives are taken into important and extremely interesting details. You may as well put your scuba gear on you’re going so deep. They do a great job of going to the sources, people who were actually there when these things happened, and getting the full story from those unique perspectives. Way, way better than just listening to the news cycle on this stuff. Great job to the journalism team!!! I have downloaded every episode and plan to listen to all of them. I hope they keep this one going!!

    Not the best voice for this presenter
    I was looking forward to listening to some of these, but the ladies voice is not pleasant on the ear. This is not meant in a mean spirited way, it’s just the way it is. Sorry about that.
  • Mister Pigster
    Great find
    I happened upon a new podcast at the end of 2021. And I’m very grateful that I did. “Global news what happened to… “ By Curious cast. It is wonderful synopsis of news breaking stories with a follow up. It is so interesting to have the perspective of time to look back up on the news events and see the mark on history and understand it. Keep up the great work!

    Good journalist
    Nice podcast. I like that the show is not spotlighting the journalist but the total focus is on the subject. I was actually riveted and that is rare these days. Thanks. I am a fan.
  • tammac17
    Excellent
    Very well researched and often presented with stories from the people involved and what happened after the “news cycle” moved on. Excellent writing and presentation.

    Need more research
    This is an enjoyable listen but if you’re looking for facts, the host can do us all a favor and research more. In the case of Haiti, the host mentions Bill Clinton under her breath and only once when we all know that the Clinton foundation received millions and millions and millions of donations for Haiti and did nothing for the people or the country (Their daughter though got herself a million dollar wedding). I won’t even mention how Laura Silsby trafficked children from Haiti after the earthquake and released fro prison by Hillary. You can delve into that one...

  • Best. Mom. Ever.
    Well worth your time
    There are so many podcasts clamoring for attention it’s hard to know what to listen to. Which one gets those few precious free minutes of your day? I love “follow up” shows so that’s what attracted me but it’s the in-depth, thorough reporting which kept me giving my time to this podcast. And it’s the relatable content, the human connection, which hooked me. The Pulse Nightclub episode touched my very soul and made a fundamental shift in me. This podcast should be in everyone’s library.
