"Sorry About The Kid" is an intimate four-part narrative documentary series that explores grief, memory, and family trauma through the personal lens of host Alex McKinnon, who revisits the sudden death of his brother Paul—killed by a speeding police car 30 years earlier. Blending investigative journalism with therapeutic exploration, Alex works alongside family members, friends, and the grief counselor who witnessed the tragedy to reconstruct lost memories and understand how trauma reshapes recollection. The show's tone is emotionally raw yet reflective, combining documentary-style storytelling with deeply personal audio diary elements. Produced with acclaimed audio producer Mira Burt-Wintonick (known for WireTap and Love Me), the series appeals to listeners drawn to memoir-driven true stories, psychological insight into memory and loss, and candid family narratives. Fans of emotionally driven, character-rich non-fiction audio storytelling—such as those who enjoy shows exploring real-life mysteries, personal histories, and the long shadow of childhood loss—will find this series both moving and thought-provoking. Its collaboration with the show "Personally" also signals a broader interest in deeply human, first-person storytelling across the network.
