Description

Welcome back, dear listeners!

This week, we'll be doing a deep dive into one of Australia's most prolific (and tiniest) black market imports - ants!

I have an excellent episode in store for you featuring a true professional, the (nearly) PhD-qualified Asser Loutfi, who is talking to us about his experience in the underground trade, featuring tales of professional baby bird killers, tree-climbing licenses, and for the first time ever - crimes are admitted to on the pod!

Strap in for a great time, everyone, and have a fab week!


Emily xoxo
