What it is about

When Stacie Love married her former high school teacher, she thought it was a whirlwind romance. Two decades later, she discovered the truth behind the day their lives unraveled: a federal search, an unseen investigation, and a story far darker than she ever knew. Not Just A Terrible Story is a six-part investigation into one woman’s search for the truth, the scourge of alleged educator sexual misconduct, and a culture of complicity that protected predators for decades. Sydney Gladu is the host. She and Katy Klein are the reporting-and-producing team behind Not Just A Terrible Story. Share your stories or reach out to our team at terriblestorypodcast@gmail.com.
