On June 8, 2026, veteran correspondent Andrea Canning stepped behind the mic to host a special preview episode of the Dateline: True Crime Weekly podcast. The preview signals a major push for the true-crime giant, keeping Canning at the center of the network's audio expansion.
In a recent episode of Dateline NBC covering the Maya Millete murder trial, Canning demonstrated her trademark directness while interviewing reporter Alexis Rivas about the case's messy interpersonal dynamics. "The affair between Maya and her married coworker, it is kind of at the heart of this case. What do we know about this guy, Jamie Laird?" she asked, steering the conversation toward the critical relationships driving the trial's narrative.
As Canning continues to balance her duties between television broadcasts and the growing slate of Dateline podcasts, her prominence in the true-crime space only grows. Audiences will be watching to see how her investigative style translates to the weekly podcast format as the network rolls out more episodes.
