Our last ep of The Girlfriends was released yesterday. If you’ve come along on this journey, thanks for listening. I hope you can find a quiet place to hear this one and honour these women 🫶🏻

This is such a beautiful piece. Go listen!

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 is the kind of accountability climate reporting I’m hungry for. Well done @jill_english 👏🏻

Jen Powley was a tremendous advocate, educator, and comrade. She gave her presence at so many events, and advocated for many in the community. While she is known for her legendary work on the rights of people with disabilities, she was also an amazing ally jmcgs.blogspot.com/2023/09/jen-po…

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

@mchughsiobhan Thanks so much for listening Siobhan. This means so much coming from you. 🙏🏻

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💔

@jatomic Thanks Julie 🙏🏻
