The Exodus Cry Podcast

I’ve been a worker in the movement to abolish trafficking and sexual exploitation for 7 years. This podcast has a huge depth of valuable information directly from people who’s lives have been affected by it, or from workers on the frontline (including the knowledge shared by Benji and Laila) that most people would not have access to. I highly recommend this podcast to any abolitionist, newer or older. I work to equip churches to serve in anti-trafficking ministry and I’ll be sharing some of these podcasts as part of our basic training. Some other reviewers have mentioned that Benji speaks too much or almost puts words in the interviewees mouth. For me, Benji and Laila are having a conversation with the interviewee, and their input often recaps or highlights important points that they don’t want the audience to lose sight of. I get the sense that each interviewee has a friendship with Benji and Laila and trusts them. I think that if the interviewee felt uneasy about anything, they would say something. Overall, I think this is a groundbreaking podcast for the movement. Thank you for the efforts to create it!

I have learned so much from listening to this podcast about the commercial sex industry and the fight of abolition. As someone new to abolition, this podcast has been so informative and has really helped me gain a better understanding of the many layers to this issue. I am so encouraged by the dialogue, guest speakers, stories of the history of Exodus Cry, the work of the Lord through this organization and so much more. I cannot thank you enough for this podcast! Keep the episodes coming!!!!

Please tone down your input when you’re interviewing people Ben. Keeping your thoughts and talking to a minimum is important in terms of respect for the women you have on your show. I’m currently listening to your interview with Meghan Murphy and you’ve been talking for an absurd amount of time now. It’s totally off-putting. Otherwise thank you for the work you’re doing to combat pornography and prostitution.

Glad we have people to dive into the stories of those who help provide a insight into addiction and the sex industry, but also can talk about redemption and hope in the midst of it.
