Stolen: The Search of Jermin

I listened to the first two episodes of STOLEN: THE SEARCH FOR JERMIN, hosted by journalist Connie Walker, and am eagerly awaiting the release of the rest of the season. I’m recommending this podcast because it is both moving and tragic, but not because it is extraordinary. In fact, just the opposite. I’m recommending this podcast, which chronicles the search for Jermain Charlo, an indigenous woman who went missing in Montana in 2018, because what happened to her is so commonplace. 

So far, this podcast has effectively situated Jermain’s disappearance and the resulting investigation against the broader context of the current epidemic of violence against Native American Women. If you don’t love podcasts, but want to know more about this subject, please find two New York Times articles here and here.
