New Podcast "Believed" Asks How Larry Nassar Got Away For So Long

In early 2018, more than 150 women tentisifed at the sentencing of Dr. Larry Nassar, a former USA Gymnastics team physician who abused patients for more than 20 years. 

How did he get away with it for so long? And when did adults start taking his victims seriously? The new podcast "Believed" from Michigan Radio and NPR asks these very questions.

During this River to River interview, host Ben Kieffer talks with Kate Wells, co-host and producer of the podcast. Wells has been following Nassar's legal proceedings and the crimes he committed since 2016.
