The podcast episodes highlight the journeys of survivors like Evelyn Yang and Marissa Hoechstetter as they advocate for justice and accountability against their abuser, Columbia University OB-GYN Robert Hadden, and the institution that enabled his continued abuse for decades.
The episodes expose how Columbia University failed to act on multiple complaints against Hadden and withheld key evidence during the criminal case against him, demonstrating a pattern of willful blindness that enabled his continued abuse of patients.
The survivors' advocacy is a prominent narrative thread, as they persevere through the legal system and public disclosure to seek justice and hold the university accountable for its institutional failures.
