Freeway Phantom podcast on D.C.'s first serial killer to be released on May 17
Between 1971 and 1972, six Black girls ages 12 to 18 went missing in the Washington D.C. area: Their names are Carol Spinks; Darlenia Johnson; Brenda Crockett; Nenomoshia Yates; Brenda Woodard; and Diane Williams.
Each girl was found murdered and discarded alongside D.C. highways; local media began to call the killer The Freeway Phantom.
The “Phantom,” Washington D.C.’s first serial killer, taunted police with a chilling note claiming responsibility, and terrorized victims’ families with calls to their homes. Five decades later, their killer has never been brought to justice. From iHeartPodcasts, Tenderfoot TV, and Black Bar Mitzvah, Freeway Phantom will share the stories of the six victims and explore new evidence which could crack these cold cases wide open.
The ten-episode series is hosted by journalist and public radio veteran Celeste Headlee (NPR, PBS, TEDx), who’s spent the past two years sifting through boxes of documents and interviewing investigators and family members who are still haunted by these murders. One of Headlee’s most notable contributors throughout the podcast is retired D.C. police detective Romaine Jenkins, who spent a great deal of her career working on the Freeway Phantom murders.
The series also explores racial disparities, how strategies for solving murders have evolved over time, the lack of trust between law enforcement and local communities — a theme that persists today — and the role of community action in bringing forth justice.
From the creators of Atlanta Monster, Monster: D.C. Sniper, and The MLK Tapes, Freeway Phantom premieres on May 17.
Blackballed Podcast examines the "reintegration" of pro football in 1946
The Ringer Podcast Network—a Spotify Studio— has launched Blackballed, a new four-part narrative podcast hosted by Chelsea Stark-Jones examining the “Forgotten Four” Black players who reintegrated professional football in 1946.
Kenny
Washington, Woody Strode, Bill Willis, and Marion Motley reintegrated
professional football in 1946. They are known as the Forgotten Four. The
burying of their story, and the secret ban on Black players that came
before, is a critical piece of the history of the NFL’s complicated
relationship with race.
Episode One, featuring commentary from Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Bennett, and
Ringer Staff Writer Lex Pryor, examines the early days of football in
America, leading up to a "Gentlemen's Agreement" among white NFL owners
to exclude all Black players from the league. This is later contrasted
with Colin Kaepernick protesting the murders of Black men by police
during the national anthem before NFL games in 2016 and as a result
being effectively blackballed from the league.
Episode Two will be released on Thursday, March 23rd, Episode Three on Tuesday, March 28th, and the series will conclude with Episode Four on Thursday, March 30th.
