The Untold Story

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.

Pulse - what you don’t know.

I loved the podcast format of this Audible original. I remember when the Pulse shooting happened. I had friends in Orlando, and I was very worried for their safety. Thankfully they were all safe. This was an eye-opening piece on what the media did not report about one of the worst mass shootings in American history.

informative and interesting

Definitely learned something new. In fact, a lot of things new. Such a tragedy

This was tough to here

very interesting..... very emotional and sad. who would a father ( informat) and son ( trying to please dad smh)

good book ..very insightful but

the book made a lot of claims and i didn't think it backed all of that up but it was very insightful about that jerk that did the shooting. it really brought out a bunch of info that i had no idea of before.

Gut Wrenching

Hardest thing I've ever listened to, but listen I must. Thank you for your work to bring this to the public. What happened on that tragic night should never be forgotten.

not what I anticipated!

never would have thought it wasn't actually a gay hate crime. still dunno why there's a word minimum

Gets right to it

Packaged the story in episodes which made for an interesting and binge listen. The facts were given for all sides.

Great

It was an interesting and sad listen. I appreciated the well researched information. Great job on the podcast.

Interesting read for sure!

I thought this perspective shed a lot of light on the incident, but it also opened up my eyes to how the media and government tell a narrative that is often made to look different from reality.
