Sound of Freedom with Michael Hobbes AND Human Trafficking re-release

Like so many other mostly imaginary topics, human trafficking is in the news again. Michael Hobbes—ever heard of him??—came by so Sarah could tell him about Sound of Freedom, a surprise hit summer movie that promises it can end child slavery, but only if you buy as many tickets as you can. Then, you can hear the episode we released on "human trafficking"—what it isn't, and what it is—back in 2019.  You can find Mike's shows here:<a href='https://www.maintenancephase.com/'>Maintenance Phase</a><a href='https://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPod'>If Books Could Kill</a> Support You're Wrong About:<a href='https://www.patreon.com/yourewrongabout'>Bonus Episodes on Patreon</a><a href='https://www.teepublic.com/stores/youre-wrong-about'>Buy cute merch</a>Where else to find us:Sarah's other show, <a href='https://www.podpage.com/you-are-good/'>You Are Good</a>[YWA co-founder] Mike's other show, <a href='http://maintenancephase.com/'>Maintenance Phase</a>Links:https://www.maintenancephase.comhttps://www.patreon.com/IfBooksPodhttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/youre-wrong-abouthttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourewrongaboutpodhttps://www.podpage.com/you-are-goodhttp://maintenancephase.com [Support the show] (http://patreon.com/yourewrongabout) ...

Debi Thomas with Leslie Gray Streeter

 In 1988, twenty-year-old American figure skater Debi Thomas headed to the Calgary Olympics to face off against East German juggernaut Katarina Witt. In the process, she became the first Black American in history to medal at a Winter Olympics. Then she disappeared from the sport. Where did she go, and who wasn’t there to catch her when she fell? This week, Leslie Gray Streeter tells Sarah about growing up watching Debi skate, where she is now, how her sport and her country failed her, and just how many people are missing from the stories we tell and the dreams we dream.

Trailer: Unreformed

Extry! Extry! New podcast by Josie Duffy Rice!—In 1968, five Black girls escaped from the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children, a so-called “reform school” outside of Montgomery, Alabama. These girls were not the first children to run away from the institution, which everyone called Mt. Meigs. Children tried to escape all the time, desperate to get away from a place described by many as a child’s prison. But this time was different. This time, a girl named Mary Stephens chose to tell someone her story. It was a decision that would change everything.<a href='https://www.iheartmedia.com/press/iheartpodcasts-and-school-humans-announce-unreformed-story-alabama-industrial-school-negro'>Unreformed: The Story of the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children</a>, hosted by Josie Duffy Rice, is an investigative podcast chronicling the history of Mt.
