A gentle warning that this is one of our darker episodes, and contains some troubling subjects. We are joined this week by Nina Hobson, who is an ex-detective, bodyguard and who now runs a counter sex trafficking organisation. She tells us about how the sex trafficking industry works, about some of the horrific cases of kidnap and violence she has encountered, and the situations she has been in involving pimps, and other members of organised crime groups.

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.

Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.

Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.
