And I was unfortunately not able to put that on.
the podcast so I really wanted to use this voice memo that Rosie sent me I was driving and I listened to it and I was it was so powerful and I wanted to figure out how to use it so when this opportunity came up it's like yes we get to use this this piece of audio from Rosie
I Rosie was there in the gym.
Yeah.
The students were playing basketball.
This teacher who's pretty well liked turned to Rosie and said this, which I think, you know, right after the death of this of Tom Hudson, I think really made Rosie feel super targeted and like, see, this is what you did.
I mean, I think to me it spoke to just how teachers felt very free blaming students for the death of a teacher, which is absurd.
And it was just this free, totally casual thing, you would say, to someone.
It was just, I think that was what was going on, is these teachers were really, they were hurting, and they blamed us, right?
That's a big part of the podcast.
Do you know how weird that is?
I always thought, for the last 25 years, I thought I set the ball in motion for all this chaos.
Like people spending their 20s in therapy.
I'm not saying I caused any of it, but I like pushed the boulder.

I had it all wrong.
This is like, oh, okay.
After a quick break, we'll hear from the team about why we believed it was important to dive into a story from 25 years ago today and how we went about reporting.
the reason changed throughout production so in the beginning you know curiosity kind of clearing our names i don't know like part of me is like nobody was thinking about us why were we like we're gonna clear our names but i nobody was thinking about us nobody was worried about us at all i think that's right but we were constant i think for us this was like this
Many of whom wouldn't talk to us, which is something I wonder about still.
