Description

In their bravest and sincerest episode yet, Asher talks about how challenging they have found the last couple of years and the cost of whistleblowing or "doing the right thing".  Ultimately they find themselves facing an impossible choice.  To remain silent and allow people to harm others, or to speak up and accept the violent consequences. If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon.
