The Memory Box
In the Fall of 2018, we followed the Kavanaugh hearings as politicians, journalists, and lawyers publicized allegations of sexual assault. When Christine Blasey-Ford spoke out about a painful teenage experience, women everywhere called, emailed, and texted each other to try to make sense of it all. Producer Eve Austin got one of those messages.
Warning: this story centers around a sexual assault and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
