    Should Drugs Be Legal?

    Our most personal episode yet. Lewis and Laura sit down with Steve Rolles from Transform Drug Policy Foundation to ask the question most politicians won't: should drugs actually be legal? Laura also shares something she's never spoken about publicly, losing her brother Henry in a drugs accident. Expect an honest, uncomfortable, and necessary conversation. The war on drugs has been running for decades. It isn't working. So what comes next?

    Why Do We Keep Talking About Men?

    Who is the modern man? In May’s episode of Found Out we dive deep into the divisive topic of masculinity, and ask what it means for social justice. If you’re curious about the ‘manosphere’, male role models, fatherhood, men’s experience as victims, or just what it means to grow into manhood today - this one is for you! As we like to say, soft is the new hard.

    What Is Pornography Doing To Us? ft. Baroness Bertin

    Pornography is a multi-billion pound industry. A quarter of the UK regularly accesses it. And until legislative changes last week, almost none of online pornography was regulated. In this episode of Found Out, Laura & Lewis sit down with Baroness Bertin, Lead Reviewer of the Independent Pornography Review and Life Peer in the House of Lords, to talk about the landmark legislative changes she is championing, what enforcement actually looks like, and why pornography is a violence against women and girls issue. Content warning: this episode references child sexual abuse, rape, and sexual violence.

    What's The Point Of Government?

    What's the point of government? It's a question that sounds cynical, but it might be the most important question we can pose right now as the world we know changes in front of our eyes. When trust in institutions is at an all-time low, when policy feels disconnected from lived experience, and when the people most affected by decisions are the least likely to be in the room where they're made - we thought it was about time to ask who government is actually for, and what's the point in it at all. In Episode 3 of Found Out, we ask what government is supposed to do, where it's struggling, share juicy scoops from our time inside Westminster, and imagine what government could look like if we dared to think differently. Change starts here.

    Are We Addicted To Prisons? ft. Chris Atkins

    Welcome back! Or hello for the first time! This is Episode 2 of Found Out, your social justice podcast brought to you by The Merrittocracy. In this episode we will be talking all things prisons and why you should care about what goes on behind bars. We have our first very special guest on the pod - Chris Atkins. Chris is a best-selling author (A Bit of A Stretch & Time After Time), a world-renowned documentary-maker and good friend. Chris also spent two-and-a-half years in prison, so who better to give their insight on what prison is really like. We talk about the trial, day one entering HMP Wandsworth as well as the struggles and close connections Chris made. We answer the difficult question, are we addicted to prison?
