I had no idea the extent of this in the US. I learned so much and Noor completely changed my perspective

Love it but felt so bad for the victims of trafficking.

You’re inspiration I love u please continue 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Noor is very young and green and not really a journalist, but more of an editorialist, like most of today’s media, making too much of the story about herself. Not sure why her face is on the cover. Seems totally inappropriate unless she herself was sex trafficked. Lovely photo, but it’s not...Read full review »

text for photos of victims is extremely inappropriate and disgusting - who thought that was a good idea?
wild eggg via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/02/22
Really enjoyed the first three episodes. Noor is young, but is also very naive and I’m guessing had a very sheltered upbringing. Because of this there was a failure to connect with some of the contributors which stunted the conversations. A political slant began to creep in unfortunately and I...Read full review »

Tried two episodes, didn’t come close to finishing either.

Show presents the multiple perspectives of the various stakeholders involved in this industry. This makes it easier to challenge one’s own biases but also to better understand the kinds of incentives driving this industry and the level of complexity that makes this social issue so difficult to...Read full review »

This has a good start but from the first episode it’s already so commercial. Too much background music I hate this!! The episodes are big production with a lot of fluff and dramatic pauses. I will keep it in mind but overall after a few episodes I got nothing I didn’t already know

Such a great and informative podcast! Sheds light on a topic that has so many key parts. Will there be another season??
tttt2505 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/21
It’s an interesting podcast about an interesting topic, but the reporter is not objective and doesn’t approach her subjects in a neutral way
elzaberg via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/28/21
I started listening to this podcast and had my mind set in a specific direction. How can sex trafficking be seen for anything other than it is? This podcast, the interviews, and hearing the stories of real-life people brought a new perceptive into focus. Sure, the Team may be young and have a...Read full review »

I am absolutely enamored by this series! Great reporting!!!! By the way.... “ What words were you saying in your prayer that your producer talked about? We couldn’t hear?” And great job at facing your fears!
DoodleSnips via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/21
I’ve been coming back to this podcast for almost 2 years now. While I do think it is excellently done and very well researched, my biggest problem is that it’s evident throughout that Noor has her own prejudices against sex workers. Some episodes left me feeling that she consistently leaned into...Read full review »

Noor has such a gentle and empathetic way of reporting on such a sensitive subject!
MeggFarr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/21
I never knew how sex work worked, and this is such a great walkthrough. But I will say that I have been attempting to text the number to experience it with them, but it isn’t working. I haven’t received any videos or links back.
lili woods via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/21
Because it goes through Nour’s own journey of understanding, it is presented in a way someone who is just beginning to learn about sex work can learn at the pace of their own stance at the beginning. Highly recommend this be a part of someone’s learning about sex work and trafficking.
merrysparkle via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/21
The narrator is young and inexperienced. This could have been better with a more mature team of investigators. The narrator is constantly making herself the topic and drawing attention to herself. Episode 1 is repeating the same mantra over and over.
alhann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/21
The research is poor and nothing I haven’t heard before. Noor acts like a frightened child and not a reporter who wants to immerse herself in the minds or world of the sex workers, traffickers, clients, etc. It’s just not good.
mistressofthesea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/21
The storyline is worthwhile to understand, the reporting style, preparedness, and ability of the lead reporter to express herself are mediocre.
BPBinCH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/20
This podcast sheds light on the injustices to women, men and children across the U.S. We, as Americans, tend to think this only occurs in other countries, but in this eye opening podcast we learn the truths about what is occurring within our own communities. Well done!
LML0606 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/20
Noor is a good talker and easy to understand. Lots of good information and interviews and I think Noor learned a lot during this investigation. Noor like most journalist does have prejudice and they are apparent in this series. If you are a white man be prepared to be labeled white privilege...Read full review »

I cringe when she talks to anyone who is a survivor or sex worker. And why is her face the cover?
caredenuftoreview via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/20
Good story, well researched but with a lot of annoyances. Noor gets a little too dramatic and pauses on the wrong spots. The most annoying thing is the stopping to give a phone number to receive a picture via text. It is worse than commercials. I see what they are trying to do but it is very...Read full review »

Interesting content but I think the narrator assumes that the listener is naive which comes across a bit condescending at times...
SophieDP via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/09/20
Excellent. Loved interviews and showing multiple views of the sex industry. Very eye opening. Great job Noor!
jloplah798 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/20
This podcast is so interesting. You will learn so much about a subject that is not talk about a lit.
Morvan003 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/28/20
As someone who used to work in sexual assault survivor advocacy and crisis intervention, I am grateful for this podcast. Thank you for humanizing the survivors and educating the public.
Ptop5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/20
I have enjoyed this podcast immensely so far. I’m only on episode 5 but I’m sure I’ll finish the rest by tomorrow because I can’t stop listening. I can feel Noor’s emotions through my speakers and that makes me love this show even more.
~claire?bear~ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/20
This subject needs more attention. Noor does a beautiful job of bringing it into the light.
mcsherry66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/20
I really enjoyed this podcast! Gave me a new perspective for sure!
sh8di via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/20
It is a thought provoking podcast; however, I disagree with the underlying message. Should everything be legalized to “prevent” harm?
BBSANE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/20
While this podcast does reveal some interesting facts about sex workers, trafficking and trade in America, it stops short of truly digging into the issue. The narrator takes a very self-oriented approach, constantly remarking how she had trouble wrapping her mind around what she is learning. She...Read full review »
crystalsprings via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/20
Interesting subject matter. Host lacked gravitas to handle it unfortunately.
jtmacc8 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/12/20
Podcast is well done. I appreciate and support the message it stands for although I would like to share my feedback. Decrease use of the work “like” as a filler word. It makes listening more difficult and almost takes away from the seriousness of the subject of the podcast.
Winston707 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/20
If you want hear constant rationalizations for people’s individual bad choices, then this is the podcast for you (like, for instance, people become sex workers because capitalism is heartless, or something). If you prefer a less naive, reality-based point of view, then I would pass on this...Read full review »
Bens4vcobra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/20
Interesting subject but the host seems naive with a very superficial understanding of “choice” or the psychological impact of sex work . This podcast needs more victim stories, highly skewed reporting.
gras94 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/08/20
Wow exactly what we need. Another woman acting the part of someone who cares. Also further blurring the lines of SW and trafficking. One is a job the other is slavery. Also WHY IS HER FACE THE COVER??
希望此表达我幸福 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
More people should be talking about this! I heard this podcast months ago but have been recommending to all the women in my life. It’s so important to be informed. Power is in knowledge.
EllieCortes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/20
I’m a pretty educated woman on social justice issues. But this podcasts taught me about sex workers and changed my perception on sex trafficking. Thank you.
cdoc81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/20
This is definitely about sex work politics under the guise of being about trafficking.
Rregn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/19
This is more about Prostitution then Sex Trafficking. Sex trafficking they are forced to do this. Kidnapped and drugged This is off base these women were not trafficked they volunteered. Still sad and love the honesty.
Mizzfoxxfire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/19
The stories are compelling but there is far too much input about the reporters personal thoughts and emotions. The lack of objectivity is distracting and becomes more frustrating as the series continues. Greater focus on the subject of the reporting rather that the reporter is needed. Could not...Read full review »
freyavo via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/05/19
I thought this podcast was well done and offered an inside look at the lives of the sex workers who were interviewed. I found the topics covered to be extremely educational and it changed my opinion on sex work. After listening to the podcast, I feel like it’s difficult to write legislation to...Read full review »
Saltandpepperbaby via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/19
I think she’s great at speaking and telling a story. I do think this ended up turning into the legalities of sex worker vs trafficker. And also about changing the laws to allow people to sell sex legally. I did enjoy the podcast as a whole, would have been nice to hear more actual stories from...Read full review »
Wow54328 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/19
I’m learning so much about the complexities of the sex trade. Thank you for your balanced reporting and making diverse perspectives heard.
kggutt via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/30/19
I agree with some of the other reviewer’s that this should be really hard-hitting topic. However I feel like the reporter frequently asked subjects close ended questions that do not elicit robust responses. Additionally I feel like the reporter feels uncomfortable talking about some of the...Read full review »
Mmttbb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/19
Too much discussion on the host own ambitions and reasons for doing it, less about the actual story. Felt as though it was all about her.
koho 2716 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/08/19
This podcast is more about prostitution and making it legal. I’m sorry but I do not believe in prostitution there are other opportunities out there. Every Walmart I know is hiring
Holcomb Carolyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/19
The show was very informative however sometimes I can’t tell if Noon just needs another outlet to talk about herself or if she really wants to hear from survivors. The lines get really really blurred on several episodes. If you can listen past Noon consistently centering everyone else’s story...Read full review »
