Episode 6: The Survivor
from Shoe Leather Hosted by Columbia Journalism School
It’s been 56 years since the Greenwich Village townhouse exploded. Three people died. The rest vanished. The only one left alive to tell the story is Cathy Wilkerson, now 81—still wrestling with what she did, what she believes, and what, if anything, she truly regrets. Episode 6: The Survivor was reported, written, and produced by Chloe Stein and Eleanor Barzun.
