| Another delay? |
[JUL (23:12) 20TH] |
Why yes, you've probably noticed another delay in us getting out another podcast. Unfortunately, I've been unvailable to podcast lately. My grandmother has been quite ill. Just this week I received news that her heart is too weak and due to other complications, she may die very soon. I've been dedicating all of my spare time to spend it with her at the hospital. When time presents itself, we'll be back to podcasting. You may be hearing from some guest hosts in the future as well. Talk to you all soon!

| New Website |
[JUL (21:50) 12TH] |
Hi everyone! During the downtime lately, I've been working on setting up a new website for the podcast. It's not completely done yet, but it's definitely functional. Check it out, leave some comments so I know that it works.
We're amazed at the popularity of this podcast. People are talking about it and in turn, talking about sexual abuse. This is excellent. Congratulations to all of you who are breaking that silence!
The popularity of the podcast has been absolutely astounding. With only two podcast episodes released, we already have well over 500 subscribers. I wish I could give you the exact numbers, however the free service I use costs money to get the exact number of subscribers. I've scraped together what I can to register and host this website. Welcome to our new home on the net!
Are you interested in helping to support Forgive the Wait? Do you wonder how you could help? You can help by making a Paypal donation. That donation would help to enhance the podcast. It would help us to cover the cost of this website and the hosting. It would allow us to better track and maintain the podcast itself. Any size donation is a help. Our email address for donations is forgivethewait@gmail.com
If you are unable to help financially, that's perfectly fine. Both of us struggle with finances and understand not having any extra pennies. What we would suggest you do instead is to spread the word about the podcast. Help others to become aware of this taboo subject. Pass it onto other survivors. Pass it onto those who aren't. Send it to your friends, your family, your co-workers or the McDonald's drive-thru lady. It doesn't matter! Let's educate this blind society! Send them to www.forgivethewait.com!
Break the silence! Speak out against sexual abuse and make it known that we won't stand for it anymore!

| Episode 002: Why Abuse Isn't Reported |
[JUL (12:30) 4TH] |
Welcome to our second offical episode! We're happy to be back and podcasting again. In this episode we discuss why abuse isn't reported. It's broken down into two sections. The first part talks about children and the second discusses adults. We also do some comparisons between children and adults, finding the similarities about why they don't report the abuse.
Also touched on are ways to notice the abuse and instructions on how to change the societal cycle of "turning the blind eye" and "victim blaming."
The song played in this show is called "It Angers Me So" by Finniston. You can hear more music by Finniston here: http://www.finniston.com

| Episode 001.5: The Hosts and What They've Lost |
[JUN (19:50) 26TH] |
Hello everyone. We're so sorry that we haven't gotten our next episode out yet. Unfortunately, I lost my aunt last week and I wasn't exactly in the frame of mind to do any recording. This week, Nikki has lost her voice. Although she's feeling pretty good, she sounds like a teenage boy going through puberty. It's actually quite amusing.
It looks like we'll be delaying our recording session until she gets her voice back, hopefully by this weekend.
We're still here so keep checking back for the next REAL update. Thank you all for listening and for your support.

| Strength in Numbers |
[JUN (18:35) 14TH] |
This podcast was released only three days ago and already there are 106 subscribers. That's amazing! Thank you all for your support and for listening. The fact that you're listening says something. It says that you want to break the societal bonds that encompass this topic. With this goal there are strength in numbers. I applaud each and every one of you.
