The unique format of the podcast is just as bold and empowering as the subject.

“I didn’t want anyone who wanted to listen but felt they couldn’t because they were scared of being triggered. So from the get-go I wanted to give people the option because it’s so invaluable to actually hear the voice of someone who understands what it’s like to go through,” adds Morton.

“Also, it’s probably not the kind of podcast that you listen to on the tube in the morning. So people, if they don’t have the time or have busy lives, can just listen to the ‘Now’ episode. They still want to hear about it but perhaps don’t want to have a really intense half an hour.”

The biggest challenge that Morton has faced while creating the podcast is operating around the strict legal systems. “We can’t openly talk about cases where they haven’t been found guilty in court, so we have to be very cautious,” they explain.

This sounds particularly frustrating as a falling number of rape complaints resulted in charge or summons last year, according to data analysis by The Guardian.

According to Home Office, out of 57,600 rapes recorded by police in 2017, only 1.7% of accused perpetrators were convicted. Many charities believe that this number of cases doesn’t represent the true number of assaults, as many victims still do not come forward.

So, despite spaces like After: Surviving Sexual Assault giving victims a platform, many literally can’t use their voice.
