Future Rewind by Next Gen Radio

Future Rewind proves that journalism is better when we include each other. Host Sandy Chávez relates formative experiences from her life in Los Angeles to stories on a diverse range of themes produced by NPR’s Next Gen Radio—a program that’s been training journalists for more than twenty years. We hear from reporters about their experiences and learn that the best sources of inspiration are often personal, organic, and heartfelt. Researched, written, edited, engineered and produced by a small but mighty team of program alumnae through Psychic Audio with funding and assistance from LAist Studios. This is the way storytelling is meant to be.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
