About this listen
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.

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

Untold story all right
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.

Was hoping for a book
I was expecting a book but it’s a podcast. I think it could have been more in depth. Not sure if I buy some of it.
