Why listen

Something Was Wrong is a survivor-centered documentary podcast hosted by Tiffany Reese, built around coercive control, abuse, scams, institutional failure, and the long aftermath of harm. Episodes often unfold as seasonal narratives with firsthand accounts, expert context, and case updates, so listeners get both emotional testimony and practical understanding of how abuse can hide in plain sight. It is a strong fit for true crime listeners who want less spectacle and more attention to survivors, systems, and accountability.

S25 Ep25: WCN Presents: [Danny Cords] An Upstander Unto Yourself

*Content warning: divorce, conversion therapy, reorientation therapy, cyberstalking, stalking, emotional and psychological abuse, death threats, and criminal threats.Danny Cords is an organizational psychologist and victim advocate from Seattle. He began harnessing his voice and speaking out for others after leaving conversion therapy in his late teens. But his advocacy mission only intensified after being subjected to years of cyberstalking. He hopes to bring awareness and healing to victims all over the world, as well as legal change too. His related (and unrelated) work and efforts have been featured on the stage, television, radio, podcasts, and more. We are extremely grateful that Danny was willing to share all that came next in his personal, professional, legal, and media journeys.*Resources:  Danny Cords's website: https://www.dannycords.com/ End Tech-Enabled Abuse: endtab.org Organization for Social Media Safety: https://www.socialmediasafety.org/ *Sources: -Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month-Cybersecurity, RAND Corporation, www.rand.org/topics/cybersecurity.html-Stalking Fact Sheet, The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center, www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdfFor additional resources and a list of non-profit organizations that can help, please visit http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resourcesFollow What Came Next: Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-came-next/id1674051643 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatcamenext_podcast/ SWW S25 E24 BTS and Q & A Part 2 *Content Warning: friendship betrayal, infidelity, stalking, domestic violence, institutional betrayal, institutional trauma, and murder. Free + Confidential Resources + Safety Tips: somethingwaswrong.com/resources   SWW Sticker Shop!</st
