Content Warning: Discussions of sexual assault, drugging and suicidal ideation Strap in for this week's episode where we make disgusted noises about the life *choices* of Hugh Hefner and the history of Playboy magazine. From its dodgy origins and exploitation of women across the ages in the name of the sexual liberation, we look at the legacy and the sad man at the centre of it all who tried to control the lives of every woman he came across. We talk Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Steinem and Holly Madison's explosive book about her life as one of the last remaining girlfriends! We now have a Patreon with TWO bonus episodes released each month!
