This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, Marcel Van der Watt dismantles the common arguments used to defend “sex work” as a safe and legitimate form of work. As a former criminal investigator with more than 20 years of experience in combating the intersecting criminal economies of organized crime, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation, Marcel speaks to the faulty arguments and “research” frequently held up by the pro-sex work movement.

Macrel is the Director of the Research Institute at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) in Washington, D.C. Marcel has consulted in and provided expert court testimony in several sex trafficking cases, briefed members of the US Congress on issues related to online criminality, and has trained multidisciplinary professionals from more than 30 countries.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
