Description

In 1999 at Garfield High School, two seniors heard a rumor that a popular teacher had abused a student. After they told authorities, some teachers and students turned on them. But those rumors turned out to be true. KUOW’s Managing Editor Isolde Raftery is one of those students. We talk with her about new narrative podcast “Adults in the Room".
