Abby is back for another true crime episode. We delve into the troubling case of Ruby Franke, a family vlogger whose parenting methods led to severe child abuse. We discuss the ethical implications of family vlogging, the influence of a cult-like therapist, and the legal changes aimed at protecting children in online content. The conversation emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, community support, and awareness of manipulative dynamics in relationships.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
