Ep. 30 - I Spoke Out Against Porn as a Feminist & Got Cancelled | Meghan Murphy & Benjamin Nolot

Meghan Murphy is a freelance writer and journalist, and is the founder and editor of Feminist Current. She is known for going against the grain and was the first to publish a critique of Slutwalk, back in 2011, and was one of the only popular feminist bloggers to publicly articulate a radical feminist position against the sex industry.

Ep. 27 - How to Protect Your Kids from Porn | Kristen Jenson & Benjamin Nolot
This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, we are joined by Defend Young Minds founder Kristen Jenson to discuss protecting children from porn in the digital age. Kristen is the acclaimed author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, a digital safety expert, and the CEO of Glen Cove Press. In 2011, Kristen found out her friend’s oldest son had sexually abused their younger children using pornography. Distraught, Kristen felt compelled to search online for resources to warn her friend’s younger children about the dangers of viewing pornography but could not find anything. She set out to create resources for parents to address pornography exposure and consumption. As she began researching and talking to parents, she realized the need was even greater. Kristen began blogging about all she was learning, and it was out of this that Defend Young Minds was born.

Ep. 25 - I Went Undercover to Investigate Pornhub | Arden Young & Benjamin Nolot
Welcome to the first Exodus Cry Podcast episode of 2024! This week we sit down with Arden Young from Sound Investigations to discuss how the Traffickinghub campaign inspired her to become an investigative journalist aiming to expose the criminal activity within MindGeek/Aylo, Pornhub’s parent company. As a child actor in Hollywood, Arden was exposed to the predatory nature of the industry and witnessed inappropriate behavior involving children. Growing up, her father was a private investigator and lawyer, often including her in investigations to show her the ropes. Arden left Hollywood and her acting career in her early twenties, after which she learned of the Traffickinghub campaign. With investigative journalism in her blood, she sought to further the campaign’s efforts with a goal of getting employees to admit to continuing illegal activity. With their own personal funds, the two-person team at Sound Investigations set their sights on MindGeek in Montreal and spent five months in the field interviewing subjects and gathering information. They released their first video in September 2023. Since then, they have released six more videos with incriminating evidence against Pornhub/Mindgeek/Aylo.

Ep. 24 - I Stop Men from Buying Women and Children | Tom Perez & Benjamin Nolot
In this week’s episode of the Exodus Cry Podcast, we sit down with the founder and CEO of the Epik Project, Tom Perez. Epik Project actively disrupts sex buying, intervening at the point of sale to shed light on the reality of that transaction. Benjamin and Tom discuss the demand side of trafficking, touching on his experiences working with sex buyers and analyzing the culture that has groomed men to feel sexually entitled to another’s body. In 2010, Tom began engaging in the anti-trafficking fight and quickly noticed that while men are the primary drivers behind the demand that fuels sex trafficking, very few were practically involved in effective efforts to abolish it. His vision to create meaningful onramps for men to join this fight has resulted in the training, equipping and support of hundreds of volunteer men across 20 cities in North America.

On this episode of the Exodus Cry Podcast, Benjamin Nolot sits down with Jessica Kay to discuss the intricacies of trafficking and the ways in which the illusion of choice influences a victim’s perspective on their state of abuse. Jessica is a survivor of domestic violence, homelessness and trafficking. She was trafficked by her “boyfriend” after six months of manipulation and love bombing. While in “the life,” Jessica fully believed prostitution was her choice. It wasn’t until she escaped that she recognized the coercion, abuse and manipulation. Now, Jessica is a Clinical Social Work Intern for A Better Tomorrow and is a Survivor Consultant for UNITAS. She is a member of the Nevada Coalition to Prevent the Exploitation of Children and is a member of the Steering Committee for the Nevada Policy Council on Human Trafficking.
