The Ecole Polytechnique Massacre

Episode 22  The Ecole Polytechnique Massacre Quebec experienced intensive social upheaval over the course of the 20th century, affecting everything from university structures to social commentary. In 1989, Quebec women were gaining more and more footholds in previously male dominated careers. And while the Ecole Polytechnique was at the forefront of female academic empowerment, one disgruntled young man was on a mission to eradicate feminism. In the span of twenty minutes, the enraged killer murdered ten women and injured several others for the crime of trying to graduate with degrees in engineering. In the aftermath of his violence, Quebec was forced to reckon with its national views on feminism, as well as its policies on firearms.   To listen to every episode of Campus Killings ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.  For news, information, and updates about Campus Killings, or to contact the show, visit our website Follow Campus Killings on Social Media; Twitter & Facebook  Campus Killings is hosted by Dr. Meghan Sacks and Dr. Amy Shlosberg.

Introducing Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University from Wondery

  Introducing Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University from Wondery Dr. Robert Hadden was a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University. Friendly, caring, unassuming… and behind the closed door of exam rooms, one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City. During his 25-year career, he assaulted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients, under the guise of medical exams. Those who tried to warn Columbia were ignored or not believed. When it appeared that no one — not Hadden, not Columbia — would be held to account, it was the survivors who undertook a decade-long fight for justice.   From Wondery, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University is a story about power: who has it, who loses it, and what it takes to get it back.   Follow Exposed on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app.   Listen to Exposed

Cheri Jo Bates

Episode 18 Cheri Jo Bates In 1966, Riverside City College student Cheri Jo Bates was viciously stabbed 42 times and nearly decapitated in an alley after leaving the school library. Police discovered that her car had been deliberately disabled, and concluded that her attacker had deliberately sabotaged it in order to get to her. The case was thoroughly investigated, but had started to cool when an anonymous confession letter arrived – claiming responsibility for the murder in great detail. Additional letters added to the mystery. And then, another killer dominated the headlines in California – a killer who also sent anonymous letters that bore marked similarities to the confession letter. Was Cheri Jo Bates the first victim of the serial killer who terrorized California in the late 1960s, who has never been identified – the Zodiac?   To support this show, and network, and listen to every episode of Campus Killings AD-FREE, plus get early-access to episodes and bonus content, consider subscribing with an AbJack Insider subscription from Apple Podcasts.
