    Our host Sabrinna speaks to Angela and Dottie about surviving prostitution in New Zealand, the factors that lead women into the trade, the coping strategies they develop, and the scars they live with after exiting. Their 3 experiences cover the period before, during, and after the transition from prohibition to so-called “full decriminalization” laws, often touted as creating a reasonably safe and humane sex industry but really doing anything but.

  • Our hosts Sabrinna and Elly Arrow interview Ed (aka Crayon Murders) who is an expert on the allegations of human trafficking against Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, currently unfolding before Romanian courts, with further cases pending.

We also touch on the influence of the Tates on boys and young men, the outpouring of support for the brothers by right-wing influencers, and what we can do about this horrible social trajectory that’s underway as a result.
