So glad this podcast exists

If you want to be informed and moved, do follow this podcast series. I wasn’t able to get to the end of the episode on the stolen children of Bangladesh without crying, but I’m so glad someone is doing this important journalism.

Your Daily Wokery

Super woke & politically it’s a extremely liberal biased “news” podcast.

Some episodes are absolutely brilliant!

Some episodes really are brilliant, but interspersed with some not so interesting ones. I have to congratulate the team on the trafficked 4-part podcast- this type of journalism is absolutely necessary and is why I listen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
