À propos de cet audio

Pulse: The Untold Story, an Audible Original from journalist Trevor Aaronson and Western Sound, investigates the Pulse nightclub shooting and raises startling questions about the FBI’s culpability.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11.

But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

Through a relentless and thorough investigation, Aaronson uncovers the volatile relationship between the shooter and his father and how their troubled interactions with the FBI lead to a disturbing final question: Could the FBI have prevented the massacre?

Pulse: The Untold Story is a documentary like no other. It will leave you wondering if anything you’ve heard about this case is true.

Warning: This program contains descriptions of violence and death and includes recordings from 911 calls and police body cameras from the night of the shooting. Listener discretion is advised.

Incredibly well done and informative. However, extremely heartbreaking and very difficult listen at times. This world can be a very dark place.

Very informative

If you want to hear the details of what really happened at Pulse that tragic day, this book is very enlightening and contains details I have not seen elsewhere. We were fed media that lead us to believe this was the result of a man enraged by homophobia, some reports suggesting internalized homophobia even, but the true story is much more nuanced. Abuse, police cover ups, the influence of media and governmental priorities, religious extremist beliefs, etc.

Untold story all right

Investigative reporter Trevor Aaronson tackles conflicting narratives surrounding the Pulse Nightclub shooting - presenting deeper dives into the life of Omar Mateen and his associations with a delusional FBI-Informant father, strained marriage relationships, and almost certainly false claims of homophobia/latent homosexuality.
Aaronson makes a solid case - using interviews and recorded allegations by media/FBI/family desperate to paint him as other than a radicalized Islamist.. implying that the FBI could have prevented the tragedy if they had just kept investigating him for radicalization
.. but I found the most likely conclusion is that the guy was likely just tragically and meaninglessly crazy.

As to presentation: this is a polished recording - edited and sound-mixed beautifully with judicious background music. Aaronson also does a professional job as a narrator - tying together excerpted interview recordings, 911 calls, police bodycam recordings, and numerous other sound-clip sources.

Altogether, 'Pulse: The Untold Story' merits 9.5 stars out of 10. I feel fortunate to have run across this one in the 'Plus' catalog.. because it would rate a Credit.


[Incidentally: one of the most irritating aspects of podcasts is a full set of credits every 20-50 minutes. I appreciate the editing to a single set of credits. More Audiobook producers should do this.. putting multi-episode offerings together into concise packages]

Excellent

I’m really enjoying the detective style description of this case and the sound effects. Feels like I’m immersed in a tv show.

Love how it reads like a tv show

A clear, logical and evidence-based account of the horrific events surrounding the Pulse tragedy. Presented in a factual, but still, emotional way.

Outstanding
