“I really appreciate the way this podcast set up the story of the “event” by showing the historical issues that came to play huge parts in the way the city responded to Freaknik.
I especially appreciated how many views and angles were shown and allowed the listener to make up those own mind. I attended 3 Freakniks and I had disagreements with some of the interviewees but it made for a better podcast.
I still think the severity of the sexual assaults really wasn’t conveyed. In 96, they were super common and in your face. Grabbing behinds and breast were tame compared to the what went down once the sun went down. The story of the girls being pulled off cars and assaulted were not just common but in your face. When we got back to school, a lot of us had multiple stories of witnesses that kind of stuff. It was bad.”
