On this episode of The Popaganda Podcast Shannon and Tashmica discuss how we failed Amber Heard. Despite decades of work to disrupt the stigma and myths surrounding domestic violence, the Depp v. Heard trial gave us all a look at how the court of public opinion continues to demonize survivors seeking justice.

Tune in for a conversation about what went wrong and what you need to know to support loved ones experiencing violence within their most intimate relationships.

Come for the pop culture. Stay for the abolition.
