Believed

Senior Producer, Sound Designer

Michigan Radio, distributed by NPR

​

Believed is an 8-part narrative and investigative podcast about the women who brought down Larry Nassar. It’s an inside look at how a team of women — a detective, a prosecutor, and an army of survivors — won justice in one of the largest serial sexual abuse cases in U.S. history. It’s also an unnerving exploration of how even well-meaning adults can fail to believe.
