Citizen Hope
At Citizen Hope Podcast, we believe that humans are awesome. We believe that celebrating this awesomeness should be mandatory, and we believe that telling the stories of everyday heroes will uplift our spirits, engage our higher minds, and remind us to dream big and work hard to realize those dreams. There are no limits to human goodness and strength. There are no boundaries to love. There is always… hope.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
