In our final episode of season one, we address the realities that these Kairos moments brought to Charleston and what work is still yet to be done not only in our Southern city, but in the nation at large. What invisible lines still tear us apart? How can we fight hate after the shooting at Emanuel AME? Can relationships between communities and police be repaired?

The Thread

S01 Episode 8: This is not the end

The moment of forgiveness offered during the bond hearing of Dylann Roof has been repeated time and time again. But what did that moment tell us, and what really is forgiveness? Who can give it? And how does forgiveness tie back to the AME Church tradition? Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Includes music by Maciej Kulesza.

S01 Episode 7: Forgiveness

In its history, Mother Emanuel AME Church has endured much pain. And on the night of June 17, 2015, it, too, was a victim. We explore the history of this special church in downtown Charleston, and the cultural significance of black churches in the South. Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Music by Maciej Kulesza.

S01 Episode 6: The Church

The internet brought us unprecedented opportunities for connection and commerce. And hate. Hear how Dylann Roof was radicalized through online hate communities and learn how the Southern Poverty Law Center is tracking and fighting the spread of hate online. Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Music by Maciej Kulesza.

S01 Episode 5: The Manifesto

Headlines the past few years have been peppered by news of officer-involved shootings, often of unarmed black men. Headlines like the death of Walter Scott. But his headline was different: there was video. And it's a pretty rare thing, actually. Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Music by Maciej Kulesza.

S01 Episode 4: The video

What do we know about the shooting of Walter Scott? What do we know about the stop that led to the shooting? Who was Walter Scott?

S01 Episode 3: The stop

The grief one goes through after tragedy is something we sometimes share. Other times, it is something we keep to ourselves. And that’s true for a community, too. So, how did the Charleston community respond in the days that followed both the shooting of Walter Scott and the Emanuel AME church shooting? Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Music by Maciej Kulesza.

S01 Episode 2: The days that followed

As two nationally important murder trials descend on a city still tender with loss and wrestling with a complex history, The Post and Courier launches The Thread: a podcast about stories that are inextricably linked. Written and produced by Caitlin Byrd, Erin Gillespie, J. Emory Parker, and Geoff Yost. Music by Maciej Kulesza.
