So I'm probably in the minority of ST'ers that was familiar with August Ames and her seemingly being another victim of Twitter blowback and her subsequent suicide. I'm sad to say that I was what I believe to be part of the majority that believed that it was 'just' a sad story of social media bullying. That was the easy and simple explanation. Then I listened to the Last Days of August
At some point via Audible, I ended up with the compiled version of the podcast: The Last Days of August. I finally got around to listening to it today after selecting it from my library with no memory of what it was. There was a disclaimer about the subject matter that momentarily had me: what is this? Then it had an audio interview with August...
So if you can get past the subject material (and if not your thing, then it's not your thing), I recommend this as one of the best produced audio series I've ever heard as well as I think a good example of journalism, er, audio journalism? Really good podcast?
