Introducing a new investigative true crime series: "Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery." Karen Silkwood’s death 50 years ago this November continues to haunt Oklahoma and the nation. The 28-year-old plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a reporter with The New York Times allegedly to deliver evidence documenting unsafe conditions at the plant. Two reporters who covered the Silkwood story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Fifty years later, hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed conversations and long-awaited interviews reexamining what happened that night. Listen to Ep. 1 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The witness "heard a conversation" and looked out the window, the witness hears "a shot" and doesn't flinch...is gunfire so commonplace in New York that a glance out the window is a hassle? I was frustrated on behalf of the police investigating

This was a very interesting podcast, my only criticism is that the episodes are ridiculously short. This entire podcast could have been done in 3 episodes, 4 at the most. Other than the length of duration, this was a good look inside a police station and how murders are investigated 🔎

I enjoyed it. I listen to all the true crime & unsolved podcasts. I hadn't heard about this case before. It does have a familiar ABC news style about it. It should be solvable... the more people that listen, the more likely that will happen. Peace to the family.

I enjoyed the podcast, but have to agree somewhat with the other comments. It dragged. Easily could have been a great 3 parter.

interesting story but the sound effects and background noise definitely made it harder to follow. it was just very distracting. It is always good to hear from the actual people but probably not necessary to hear a typewriter in the background!

Love this podcast. Awesome true crime podcast. And it's great to hear a podcast like this that takes place in NY... All of the other true crime podcasts take place in Canada or Atlanta.

Maundering, aimless minutes padded out with sound effects. This series is padding, padding, padding. Get on with it! Seven parts ought to be three.

Wonderful presentation but episodes 3 & 4 are nothing but a waste of time with no new indignation. Perhaps a way to prolong the story. I hate to say that because I was really loving this show but sounds like it was a 4 or 5 episode story, not 7.
