Stop the Killing
Exploring the Darkest Corners of Violence Prevention and Survival: Join Katherine Schweit, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program, and award-winning true-crime producer Sarah Ferris in Stop the Killing, the true-crime podcast that doesn’t just document tragedy but empowers listeners with the tools to prevent it. This series masterfully blends deep dives into infamous mass shootings, high-stakes FBI cases, and real-world survivor stories with expert analysis and practical safety strategies. Schweit—who led the first government study on mass shootings after Sandy Hook—delivers powerful insights, while Ferris transforms each episode into a gripping, unforgettable journey.Together, they equip listeners to recognize warning signs, understand preventative strategies, and become “upstanders” in the face of violence. In Season 5, meet heroes, advocates, and experts whose stories demand action—from Parkland parents who turned grief into advocacy, to Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator - each story a call to action in America’s ongoing fight against gun violence. Stop the Killing isn’t just a podcast; it’s an indispensable guide to saving lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
