The Dear Katie Podcast features survivors of sexual assault, rape, and abuse; supporters; authors; celebrities; and agents of change about their survivorship and support. Learn how their journeys can help all survivors and their supporters. Delve into backlash, legal systems, campus reactions, family and friends, mental health, PTSD, substance use, body image, and the journey from hurt to healing and thriving.
After Katie Koestner appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine at age 18 as the first person to speak out nationally and publicly as the victim of “date” rape, she received 100+ letters from others who had never told anyone about their own story. Katie wrote back to all of them, and some of them have now been guests on her Podcast 30+ years later to share their story with the world. The name “Dear Katie” honors all survivors in the power of sharing their story. Silence changes nothing.

Blanca meets a guy at a house party. He's nice enough, but the more she drinks, the more charming he seems. Friends hear about – and see – their hookup, but nobody steps in. The next day, Gossip Central. Blanca is mortified and, worse, memoryless. What does she do now--with the friends who didn't step in when they knew how much she drank? With the secondhand stories?
How can we learn to make peace with our own narrative?
