Nikki Pope spent much of 2016 working with Ginger Campbell ’86 on an audiobook version of her book, Pruno, Ramen, and a Side of Hope: Stories of Surviving Wrongful Conviction. Ginger’s company, Snap Productions, was key in securing Whoopi Goldberg and Bill Kurtis as narrators. Spending the afternoon in a recording studio in NYC with Whoopi is not something she ever would have imagined she’d be doing.
