Minding Your Change 30.06.2023 49:09
A few weeks ago, I mislabeled a different episode, with the title and description I planned on giving this one. I've gone back and fixed that, but I wanted you all to know this is a different episode in case you listened when that last one was similarly titled. This episode is about the importance of changing your mind when presented with new evidence. It's a difficult thing to do but in order for...

Crimeless Victims 02.06.2023 50:16
This episode's title is straight forward, but sounds like it's a fucked up pun or something. Jokes on those who don't read the description. It's about how we often talk about victimless crimes, but never consider the opposite side. In the rush to blame, we often feel like we can't acknowledge victims without perpetrators.
