The Keepers: Who Holds Our History?

Welcome to “The Keepers: Who Holds Our History?”—an episode of The Ear exploring the critical and often overlooked role that archivists play in shaping historical memory. In this episode, reporters Ellie Carver-Horner and Shay Stulman interview Olivia Newsome, Barnard’s records coordination and processing archivist and coordinator at the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Join us as we delve into the ethical challenges that influence how history is established, examine who controls the past, and question who gets to tell the stories that define us.​​Credits• Edited by Sophia Cordoba and Lara-Nour Walton• Produced by Eesha Ramanathan• Music by Murat Gulcelik, Matthew Lucia, and Eva Scholz-Carlson• Illustration by Ruth WeaverFollow us on Instagram @SpectatorPodcasts and check out our other episodes!
