Exploring the Darkest Corners of Violence Prevention and Survival: Join Katherine Schweit, former head of the FBI's Active Shooter Program, and award-winning true-crime producer Sarah Ferris in Stop the Killing, the true-crime podcast that doesn’t just document tragedy but empowers listeners with the tools to prevent it. This series masterfully blends deep dives into infamous mass shootings, high-stakes FBI cases, and real-world survivor stories with expert analysis and practical safety strategies. Schweit—who led the first government study on mass shootings after Sandy Hook—delivers powerful insights, while Ferris transforms each episode into a gripping, unforgettable journey. Together, they equip listeners to recognize warning signs, understand preventative strategies, and become "upstanders" in the face of violence. In Season 5, meet heroes, advocates, and experts whose stories demand action—from Parkland parents who turned grief into advocacy, to Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator - each story a call to action in America's ongoing fight against gun violence. Stop the Killing isn’t just a podcast; it’s an indispensable guide to saving lives.

Call it arrogance, call it innocence: Exhibitionistas is tailored for everyone, from the art specialist to the art-curious with co-host conversations about exhibitions, art theory, feelings and context around solo exhibitions, guest interviews, and special episodes based on a particular topic. It's like an art-channel! I’m an independent writer and curator with a two-decade career in contemporary art, from commercial galleries to art fairs, from art history & research to curating. I was told so many times "I don't know anything about contemporary art" that I decided to do something about it.
