  • Stained Glass At Howard University
    Feb 19 2026

    In today’s episode, we meet Regina Blackburn, a talented 18-year-old whose head was full of both idealistic and naive views of the world. She walked on the campus of Howard University in 1977, completely unaware that both those views would soon be shattered.

    Don’t miss this unique event – a sexual assault story that is as uncomfortable as it is inspirational. This is the tremendous arc of a young woman who refused to live in fear. Hear her important lesson she learned at college, not found in textbooks or lectures - Silence doesn’t protect us. Sharing does.

  • Abortion Abroad
    Jul 30 2025

    Today on campus, it’s 1985. Only, we’re not in America, we’re in Tokyo, Japan.

    In this heartfelt true story, a young couple, each from different parts of America, form an intimate relationship while studying overseas. When they suddenly learn she is pregnant, the two must make a life-altering decision 6,000 miles from home.

    We think this episode is unique since the entire experience is told from the man’s point of view. And that’s a voice and perspective about this subject that’s rarely heard.
