Fans of the Story Collider podcast may notice that recently some names, biographical details, photos, or even stories have been removed from our site. After receiving several requests from storytellers who were concerned about being targeted for various aspects of their identity (whether it’s immigration status or gender/sexuality or something else entirely) under new government policies, we decided to reach out to all podcast storytellers and invite them to request changes to their pages. While we will always be proud to share these stories, we also believe that the safety, well-being, and livelihoods of those who have entrusted us with their stories must come first.
We hope that in the future these storytellers will be comfortable restoring their stories and/or full biographical information to our site. Until then, we hope our listeners will understand.
If you are an alumnus of Story Collider and you would like us to remove any of the above information from our website, please feel free to reach out to us at stories@storycollider.org.
