The FRONTLINE Dispatch

An award-winning, original, investigative series made by the team behind the acclaimed PBS documentary show, FRONTLINE. From the long and deadly arm of 9/11, to a police shooting in West Virginia with a startling twist, to what life is really like for children living in a Kenyan refugee camp, each episode follows a different reporter through an investigation that sometimes is years in the making. The FRONTLINE Dispatch – because some stories are meant to be heard.
Produced at FRONTLINE’s headquarters at WGBH in Boston and powered by PRX.
The FRONTLINE Dispatch is made possible by the Abrams Foundation Journalism Initiative.

Hosted on PRX and measured by Podtrac

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion and is insecure

Stats: Statistics are produced by PRX and Podtrac to help The FRONTLINE Dispatch to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. PRX and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: PRX may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. The FRONTLINE Dispatch may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

The FRONTLINE Dispatch is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.

This uses an insecure connection. This podcast uses an HTTP, not HTTPS, address for its RSS feed (as entered in Apple Podcasts or the Podcast Index). It is not encrypted, and may allow people who can see your internet traffic - like your internet service provider, employer or even your government - to know that you listen to this podcast.

Here’s more about insecure links and unique domains.
