Elly Arrow and Savannah Severn are joined by screenwriter and director Diana to dive into the first two seasons of the Netflix hit show "Bridgerton" and its treatment of the pseudo-Regency era marriage market, how the female and male characters navigate its perils respectively, and the ideas transported about love, sex(ual exploitation), patriarchy, racism, and class oppression, in due course.

In Part 1 of "Inanna's Journey through the Underworld", we used a 5,000-year-old myth to explore how the sexual exploitation industry strips victim-survivors of all their worldly possessions, leaving us bare - materially, mentally and spiritually - and in a state of living-death.In this part 2, we learn how the Queen of Heaven and Earth, with the help of her loyal friends, is saved from the clutches of Death. But living through trauma is only half the battle. In addition to ridicule and apathy from society's power structures, we carry painful demons from our time in The Great Below. Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow discuss the work that is needed to support victim-survivors as we re-enter society.

Andrea Heinz interviews Céline Manon Martin about the mutual vulnerabilities that led them into the sexual exploitation industry, the impact of entertainment media on entering prostitution, and Céline’s previous pro-industry advocacy. Together, they reflect on how much they’ve changed in their understanding of self-love and self-respect, and how collective liberation should replace self-abandonment and hyperindividualism.

After last week's stream going over serial-killer and pornographer R. C. Hörsch's live trajectory and how law enforcement, the art world and the porn industry kept not seeing what was right in front of them, this conversation between Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow is focused on the women whose lives were cut short by his brutal misogyny, their families quest for a semblance of justice and why we deify literal serial killers and erase their victims.

R.C. Hörsch was a career criminal, pornographer, and prolific misogynist. He is also suspected of committing at least 5 femicides. Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow investigate how and why someone like Hörsch was positively received in parts of the art world and in the porn industry, and why, conversely, he did his best to legitimize filmed and photographed sexual exploitation of women.

The presence of armies makes commercial sexual exploitation spike; however, the attitudes soldiers show toward prostituted women and women in pornography easily and frequently affect their treatment of other women, too, especially those who fight alongside them. In this livestream, Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow go into prominent cases of male military personnel attacking their female colleagues and the ways in which, in some settings, women soldiers are actively offered as a reward to imperialist and revolutionary male combatants alike.

The U.S. military constitutes a prolific sexual exploiter of women, children, and young men across the world. In this livestream, Elly Arrow and Sybil Jo discuss an in-depth report about the U.S. military presence in South Korea and the fall-out for the local community and the women exploited by G.I. Joes, the unplanned children that result, and the utterly destructive male-female occupier-occupied dynamics it creates.

Andrea Heinz speaks to Renze Nauta of Cardus, a non-partisan think-tank in Canada, about his recent report titled "Is 'Sex Work' Actually Work? Human Dignity, Liberty, and Prostitution Policy in Canada". They trace the history of the prostitution debate in Canada, policy results of a Nordic model with only partial implementation, the reality for exploited women and why at its core prostitution is incompatible with dignified labor, genuine economic liberty and human flourishing.
