We Were Three is a deeply personal and investigative limited series from Serial Productions and The New York Times that explores the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a single family. Hosted by Nancy Updike, the podcast follows the story of Rachel McKibbens, who loses her father and brother to the virus within weeks of each other, only to uncover a complex web of secrets, misinformation, and fractured relationships that predated the pandemic. The show is characterized by its intimate, narrative-driven storytelling and its unflinching examination of how political polarization and personal trauma intersect. It is an essential listen for audiences interested in human-interest journalism, social commentary, and the profound, often hidden, costs of the global health crisis.
