TRUE CRIME
What does a reporter do when they receive a cold call from one of the most horrific serial killers in Canadian history? The killer: Clifford Olson, who murdered at least eleven children in the 1980s. The reporter: Arlene Bynon, who recorded her jailhouse calls with Olson for years. Alongside legendary journalist Peter Worthington, Arlene spent hundreds of hours on the phone with Olson. It was kept secret from his prison guards; he wasn't allowed to speak to the media. In Calls From a Killer, from CBC’s Uncover, Arlene unearths secrets that have been buried for decades. Secrets about Olson's crimes, about how police failed his young victims and their families — and why law enforcement paid a psychopathic serial killer $100,000. With Nathaniel Frum — Peter's grandson — Arlene exposes hard truths about a forgotten tragedy, a bungled investigation, the loved ones left behind, and the mind of a killer. About UNCOVER: Crime.

TRUE CRIME
Where the law of the land ends, the story begins. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Ian Urbina returns with a new season of his riveting podcast anthology, The Outlaw Ocean, which explores the most lawless place on earth — the vast unpoliceable ocean. New episodes starting June 4, 2025. In season two, Urbina sheds light on the secretive Libyan prisons swallowing up sea-faring migrants; flagrant human rights abuses in China’s massive off-shore fleet; the horrors of a shrimp processing plant in India; and the wild story of a modern-day James Bond — if he were a repo man. Urbina and his team repeatedly risk their safety to tell stories powerful people don’t want you to know. As podcast reviewer Lauren Passell notes, “Ian’s not relying on research, he was there [...] Outlaw Ocean makes you feel like you’re there, too.” This immersive audio documentary series brings together more than eight years of reporting at sea on all seven oceans and more than three dozen countries.

As a gen z/ millennial cusp lesbian it’s wonderful to hear our history. Makes me very thankful for older 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who came before me and fought so I don’t have to go through what they went through.
Sex WORK is NOT the same as sex TRAFFICKING

2022-02-08

Biddank

This podcast does not advocate for sex trafficking, it advocates for sex work. These are extremely different. No one who is advocating for the decriminalization of sex work is advocating to make the sale and trade of human beings, ESPECIALLY against their wills, acceptable. In fact, I believe legalizing sex work is a path to reducing sex trafficking. The fact that sex work is illegal means that a greater proportion of clients are likely to have criminal histories and/or be violent. If you don’t know the difference between sec trafficking and sex work, please educate yourself before judging the views of this podcast.
