Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual abuse.
The family member most likely to sexually abuse a child is their brother or sister. For years sexual abuse by siblings has been too much of a taboo to discuss but more survivors of abuse come forward to discuss their experiences. We hear from one of them on today’s podcast.

Haiti’s acting prime minster has resigned, bending to pressure from the US. The move leaves a power vacuum into which has apparently stepped Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier.

So with competition for rare resources looking set to intensify…who owns the moon, and could conflict there mean war on earth?

Customer Reviews
Consistently excellent
On the Andes plane crash episode: I do wish the main journalist telling the story knew how to pronounce ‘fuselage’, it’s incredibly jarring as she says it incorrectly throughout!
Great stuff!
I don’t listen to every episode but when I listen, I like Manveen’s crisp, sometimes wry delivery, and the professionalism of the podcast. As a daily, it’s far better than “The Daily” from NYT.
North Country Woman
Trevor Phillips on political alignment and Armistice Marches absolutely sensible, thoughtful and humane. Excellent.
