Our regular episode of Good Pop will be dropping a little later this week, but in the meantime we\'re excited to share with you the first episode of a new thrilling podcast from our partners at Tenderfoot TV, Dear Alana,

Dear Alana, is a show exploring the life of Alana Chen, a 24-year-old woman who disappeared from Boulder, Colorado in 2019. Alana left behind two dozen journals chronicling a deep faith, love of fashion, and dream of becoming a nun. She also harbored a secret. At 14, she confessed to her priest that she was attracted to women and was instructed not to tell her parents. Over the next seven years, Alana covertly received conversion therapy which her family believes played a role in her fate.
