Hey, listeners, this is Mike Morford, producer of the murder of my family.

While you're waiting for new episodes of the show to come out after the holidays,

I'd like to invite you to listen to this special preview of Silkwood.

In November 1974, her 28-year-old Karen Silkwood was on her way to Oklahoma City from Crescent

to meet a New York Times reporter.

Her mission? To blow the whistle on a billion-dollar nuclear industry company. As Karen drove down a dark and desolate highway,

important documents about safety concerns at the facility where she worked beside her, her car

veered from the road and smashed into the wall of a concrete culvert. Before anyone found her, her car veered from the road and smashed into the wall of a concrete culvert.

Before anyone found her, Karen died at the scene of the single car crash. Silkwood is a multi-part

podcast that intricately examined the life of Karen Silkwood, the nuclear behemoth that she sought to expose,

the government's role in potential wrongdoings, and asked the question,

what actually happened on that cold and winning November night 50 years ago? Did Karen fall asleep

at the wheel? Did she die for what she knew, and she was on her way to expose? Was it an accident

or something far more sinister? I'm about to play a clip from the podcast Silkwood.

While you're listening, subscribe to Silkwood wherever you're listening now or on your

preferred podcast app. Here's the clip. On Wednesday, November 13th, 1974, a breeze rumbled off

James Mullins's red flatbed truck as he made his way up Highway

74, traveling north from Oklahoma City, a town where oil companies extract crude from pools deep beneath

the earth. The wind carried red clay dust that blanketed the road and powdered the truck's windows. This vivid red clay, a product of

Oklahoma's iron-rich soil that covers over one million acres of the state, is a defining feature of the

landscape. Ahead of Mullins lay the tiny town of Crescent, home of the Crescent Tigers, the Hub Cafe, the Ted Sebring Ford

dealership, and the Kerr-Magy plutonium plant, a billion-dollar titan of nuclear energy.
