Best Hard-News Podcast

In just a few short episodes of the podcast Deadly Force, WPLN lays out the conflict following the killing of Daniel Hambrick, a Black Nashvillian, by Metro Nashville police Officer Andrew Delke. The local NPR affiliate started gathering tape for the podcast when the shooting death happened in 2018, and its makers plan to continue as the case progresses through Delke’s trial. Many folks at the station had a hand in the podcast — and as with everything WPLN does, the podcast is meticulously fact-checked and stylistically impressive. Give it a listen. AMANDA HAGGARD
