Years of work went into this project! First, an idea. Then an investigation. Then a written series (@IRE_NICAR award-winning!). Then a master's thesis, and now a @WWNO/@WRKF official podcast. Excited for it to come into being! @LSUColdCase
Join us next week for the premiere of MMC alum Drew Hawkins' podcast series on the 1972 shooting at Southern University. The series will soon air on @WRKF and @WWNO

Last night was an amazing experience. Real live people listened to a project I’ve been working on by myself in my spare time for so long — and it couldn’t have been better received. Can’t wait for the series to live in the real world as an official podcast early next year!
