Except for people who were abroad for work, everyone here has made really bad decisions.

started strong but these stories get less believable as it goes from episode to episode. Entertaining to a point

Horrible what he went through but he was a willing trafficker, knowing fully what the risk was 🤷🏻‍♂️

I call absolute BULLSHIT on this! My "stepmother" has been in Australia for about 22 years, her accent is 20 times stronger/thicker than this woman's. My "stepmother" Eyeroll.. . was pregnant with another man's kid too! They didn't have an ounce of trouble.

I don't think this episode works well as a podcast - too many characters involved and too much rapid switching between them.

whoever the main narrator is should be a writer or at least write a book about this situation. The vivid details and honest self assessments and walking us through each moment, feeling every feeling and thinking every thought right along with the storyteller
