    Coming Soon: Age on Trial

    Age on Trial is a brand new podcast which asks: What’s age got to do with anything? Join Georgina Lee (54) and Ella Moonan-Howard (28) in our podcast courtroom for their first case: The trial of sex and intimacy versus age. Covering everything from watching porn and using sex toys to getting intimate in care homes, ten expert witnesses will be cross-examined on the stand, before a multi-generational jury reach their verdict.  Research shows that one in two of us hold deeply ageist views, so this really is a “true crime” podcast not to be missed.
