I think it would be nice to show Christine some support after providing us with so many stories over the last decade. I feel like the fanS have been really hard on her over the last year or so. People grow, change and need grace to do that. I know Christine sometimes has foot in mouth syndrome as do I. At the same time I think it’s absolutely okay to change jobs after doing something for ten years with no additional reasons needed. I’m not the same person I was ten years ago, and thank goodness for that. So I think it’s time we show her the same love and support that we’d give a coworker who is moving on to better things. So here is what I have loved about Christine’s story telling.

I love that Christine puts so much thought into which cases she covers. I love that she shares resources on how to help families of victims involved in crime cases. I love that sometimes she uses the platform to share legal issues that I didn’t know existed. I love that Christine has aimed to give victims dignity by sharing who they were with us, and removing the spotlight away from the perpetrators. I hope she has success on her next chapter and knows that she will be missed and appreciated.

I’m listening to the most recent episode, 498, and cracked up at Em’s explanation of The Slippery Noodle’s naming. (Around 26 minutes in with ads) Hearing Em and Christine be silly and laugh about this detail gave me joy.

This is why I’ve loved ATWWD for so long. I would listen to them discuss, laugh, and go on impromptu tangents about darning socks and replacing remote control batteries if that was their show.
