When does consent stop being consent? Is age the only factor in grooming? Can offenders ever be forgiven?
In today’s podcast, we unpack the controversial Ian Fang case - where the 34-year-old actor was accused of taking advantage of a 15-year-old girl - to explore the emotional, legal, and societal complexities surrounding consent, grooming, and power. From the victim’s mother calling for public exposure, to whether the law adequately protects minors, and the blurred lines between emotional manipulation and agency - we dive deep into what this case reveals about relationships with significant age gaps, and whether society should offer second chances to offenders.

Is peer pressure more powerful than personal conviction? Has social media normalised drug use more than we realise? Why is it so hard to call out harmful behaviour among friends?
In today’s podcast, we explore the concept of “uninfluencing” - a bold new strategy that empowers individuals to think critically rather than follow the crowd. Our panel discusses how liberal drug cultures, online feedback loops, and social discomfort can cloud judgment, and why reinforcing personal agency might be the key to keeping young people safe. Plus, we share real stories of missed interventions, and offer a practical framework (according to ChatGPT) to help you speak up when it matters most.
