About What They Don't Say: Sexual Assault and Everything in Between
What They Don’t Say is a survivor-led podcast hosted by Shannon Porter, originally co-created with Lauren King. The show takes an unfiltered look at sexual assault, trauma, and the justice process, while making these conversations more honest and approachable. Sexual assault is an epidemic we silence instead of solve. Through lived experience, expert insight, and the topics people avoid, the podcast challenges shame, breaks isolation, and moves the conversation forward. Got questions or an episode idea?
