Narrated Stories: weekly organized crime news

With your support, InSight Crime continues to publish a new Narrated Story every single week — brief, impactful audio investigations that shine a light on the daily impact of organized crime across Latin America.

Each of these stories is narrated by our journalists and researchers, drawing directly from their fieldwork. They are available on our website and podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

One recent episode told the story of a small shopkeeper in Ecuador whose business was burned down after refusing to pay extortion. Her case is not unique — it reflects the fear and silence imposed by organized crime in many communities. By sharing her voice, and others like hers, we bring critical attention to stories that are often overlooked.

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to sustain a consistent rhythm of weekly publication and strengthen our in-house audio production capacity. This has allowed us to experiment with new formats and storytelling techniques, broadening the ways we share our original reporting and verified information. Our goal is to reach more people — both in the region and beyond — with accurate, accessible stories that deepen public understanding of organized crime and its impact on everyday lives.
