This week, we’re introducing you to a podcast that was written by playwright and film & television writer Pia Wilson, If I Go Missing the Witches Did It. Listen to If I Go Missing the Witches Did It wherever you get your podcasts, or visit Realm.fm  Starring Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe: when a Black writer goes missing, a white podcast host with a savior complex takes up the cause of finding her—and collides with a coven of influencers she suspects are responsible.  After a summer in Westchester soaking up how the other half lives, Jenna Clayton has vanished without a trace. The only clue: a set of voice memos detailing an investigation into a group of influencers she suspected were using magic to achieve their means.  Elise Edgerton is outraged that no one has found Jenna yet, and decides to take up the cause. But despite believing she is using her platform for good, Elise’s mission threatens to turn her into an even worse villain than a witch: a white savior.  If I Go Missing the Witches Did It is a Realm production.
