This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else.
I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

This woman taught me how to listen
How to write
How to see story between facts
How to care
When to fight
She was my boss
My mentor
And I was her hands
Her eyes
Her assistant
She was so funny
And she knew it
I loved her
I love her
Her memory is a blessing
Thank you Jen Powley

Amidst the sludge of salacious & sloppy true crime pods, #TheGirlfriends manages to toggle lively storytelling w responsible reporting of the dark world of intimate partner violence & coercive control. The balance between humour/fun of the exes and the dawning horror of Bob:👌

So many podcasts fizzle the end or duck a resolution. Not #TheGirlfriends It ties the threads – then delivers a killer SEVEN minute rollcall of women missing or murdered in NY since 7 July 1985, when Gail Katz suspiciously disappeared. A choir of female voices swirls in support💔

The greatest lesson I learned from Gail and her story was perfectly summed up by @AnnaSinfield:
Hold your Girlfriends tight.
Drink wine.
Gossip.
These are no frivolous things. It’s what keeps us safe and heard.
