These two episodes of the ambitious podcast "Believed" – "The Parents" and "What Have You Done?" – focus on Larry Nassar's victims and their families, exploring the complicated, conflicted emotions that can persist when people are victimized by a seemingly known and trusted person. Judges recognized the "enormous trust" the reporters built with everyone they interviewed, allowing the survivors and parents to "reveal their deepest regrets and vulnerabilities," and calling the end result "intimate," "revelatory," and "profound." Originally published by Michigan Radio in January 2018.

They commended the series' "incredible depth" that touched everything from "decisions around anonymity to the scope of interviews, from expert sourcing to the wide range of angles explored." Originally published by the Star Tribune between July and December, 2018.

They underscored the "intimacy" and "narrative force" of the project, calling it "profoundly moving and affecting," and the photography "stunning."
