“The history of gay Toronto mirrors America’s queer history and this podcast is such an important discussion of gay history. My Gen Z children don’t realize how recent the complete erasure of queerness was. How in my own young adulthood complete persecution existed. This podcast mostly ignores the...”Read full review »

“As a gen z/ millennial cusp lesbian it’s wonderful to hear our history. Makes me very thankful for older 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who came before me and fought so I don’t have to go through what they went through.”

“This podcast does not advocate for sex trafficking, it advocates for sex work. These are extremely different. No one who is advocating for the decriminalization of sex work is advocating to make the sale and trade of human beings, ESPECIALLY against their wills, acceptable. In fact, I believe...”Read full review »

“I really want to like this show. The topics that are covered are crucial. But it doesn’t feel cogent. Season 1 was set up like an investigation into the murders and then it wasn’t. Switching fro Aurelia to Cassandra felt really confusing in season 2. I think the host is still green and learning...”Read full review »

“This is such a truly bad take on “sex work” that it’s stunning. Women who are trafficked into the sex trade need the protection of the Nordic Model… not a wild-west style decriminalization. Transwomen need better options than selling sex under pimps and madams.”

“This podcast (season one and the first ep of season two so far) deals with some very disturbing subject matter, but in a way that isn’t sensational and shows nothing but compassion. It incorporates a lot of stories about people’s lives around the crimes, both those of the victims and those who...”Read full review »
