“Victims Vibe” podcast to begin airing April 14 on Next Door Radio

Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD) Victim Advocate Carly Simonton will introduce a new weekly podcast on Next Door Radio (nextdoorradio.com) Friday, April 14, at 10:15 a.m.

“Victims Vibe – Tales of Trials & Triumphs” will explore the domestic violence, sexual assault, and other family-related issues Simonton encounters daily in support of victims and witnesses in her role as Victim Advocate. Her podcast is intended to give the community greater insight into the issues and challenges facing victims and witnesses of crime, as well as the resources available to them.

“I want to offer a voice to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other crimes,” said Simonton. “I also want to offer hope to their families. Our podcast will provide a platform to share their stories while also helping listeners better understand the judicial process.”

Simonton plans to interview a different guest during each week’s 30-minute podcast, including experts in public safety, law enforcement, and criminal justice issues.

As a special feature, she will devote one episode each month to answering questions submitted by area residents. Questions and topics for future episodes may be submitted online at https://bit.ly/WFPDVictimsVibe.

The guest for the April 14 episode will be announced later this month.
