E13: Unbuyable: Scotland's Consultation on the Nordic Model30 Aug 202401:06:15

Send us a text

In this episode, we dive into the current consultation in Scotland, where a pivotal decision is being made about the future of sex work in the country. The Scottish government is considering whether to introduce the Nordic Model, a controversial approach that criminalizes the purchase of sex but not the selling. We explore what this could mean for sex workers' rights, public safety, and the broader implications for society.

We feel that true justice lies in the full decriminalization of sex work—where the focus shifts to protecting the rights and dignity of workers, rather than criminalizing their livelihood. We discuss why the Nordic Model may not be the solution Scotland needs and examine alternative approaches that prioritize harm reduction, human rights, and empowerment.

Tune in as we unpack the complexities of this critical issue and advocate for a future where sex workers are supported, not punished.

Finally, we explore the cultural intersections between geek, neurodivergent, and kink communities, emphasizing how online spaces have fostered these connections.

Fire and Thunder: The Legacy of John Brown
 

“His body lies a-mouldering in the grave, but his soul goes marching on.”

Before the first shot of the Civil War, one man launched a private war against slavery and changed the course of American history. Fire and Thunder is a gripping, immersive, four-hour deep dive into the life, mission, and legacy of John Brown, the radical abolitionist who believed that slavery could only be destroyed by blood and fire.

From his violent stand in Bleeding Kansas to the audacious raid on Harpers Ferry, and finally to the gallows where he died a martyr, this podcast brings Brown’s story to life with rich historical detail, dramatic pacing, and hard questions that still echo today.

Was he a terrorist or a freedom fighter? Prophet or fanatic? What does it mean to fight for justice, and how far is too far?

Featuring expert narration, immersive sound design, and the voices of historians and abolitionists past and present, Fire and Thunder unpacks not just the man but the revolution he sparked.

E38:The Night the Nazis Burned Knowledge: The Destruction of the Institute of Sexology10 Mar 202500:37:08

Send us a text

Welcome to Behindthepaddlepodcast hosted by Porcelain Victoria. In this compelling episode, we delve into the harrowing events of May 6, 1933, when the Nazis raided the Institute of Sexology in Berlin, a groundbreaking institution founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. This episode explores the vibrant landscape of 1930s Berlin, where progressive ideas about sexuality and gender flourished, and highlights Hirschfeld’s pioneering work in LGBTQ+ rights and sexual research.

We examine the political climate that allowed the Nazis to rise to power and their obsession with “racial purity,” which led to a brutal crackdown on anything they deemed “degenerate.” Listeners will hear a vivid recounting of the night the SA stormtroopers stormed the Institute, destroying invaluable research and leading to the symbolic book burnings that would follow just days later.

The discussion extends to the devastating aftermath of this destruction, including the broader Nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ individuals and the lasting legacy of Hirschfeld’s work, which continued to inspire future generations of activists.

As we draw parallels to today’s world, we confront the ongoing struggles against book bans, attacks on LGBTQ+ education, and the resurgence of authoritarianism. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving knowledge and protecting the rights of marginalized communities in the face of oppression.

Join us as we reflect on the past and discuss why understanding this history matters now more than ever in our fight for justice and equality.

E48:Adolescence: A Mirror to Misogyny14 Apr 202500:49:33

Send us a text

In this powerful episode of Behindthepaddle, we dive deep into Netflix’s gripping one-shot crime drama Adolescence. Through a female lens, we explore the show’s portrayal of youth violence, toxic masculinity, and the psychological unravelling of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder.

But the story doesn’t end on screen. We connect fiction to reality by examining real-life cases of women in the UK killed by partners, exes, and stalkers in just the last few months. We also speak with cast members, mental health experts, and campaigners tackling violence against women and girls.

From media influence to misogyny in the justice system, this episode challenges the narratives that shape young men and the deadly consequences they can have for women.

E46: Faith, Freedom, and the Frontline: Abortion Protests in Scotland07 Apr 202500:54:56

Send us a text

Welcome to Behind the Paddle podcast. Today, we are speaking about “Faith, Freedom, and the Frontline: Abortion Protests in Scotland.”

In this episode, we dive deep into the ongoing conflict between anti-abortion protests and reproductive rights in Scotland. With a specific focus on the 40 Days for Life protests that have been staged outside Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, we explore the intersections of faith, freedom of speech, and the fight for bodily autonomy.

We’ll examine the history of 40 Days for Life, a US-based group that organizes prayer vigils and protests outside abortion clinics, and how their presence has sparked significant controversy in a nation that recently passed buffer zone laws to protect patients and healthcare workers. These laws, designed to create safe spaces around clinics, have sparked heated debates about free speech, religious rights, and the emotional and psychological toll on those seeking reproductive healthcare.

As tensions rise between the desire for personal freedoms and the need for privacy and safety, this episode aims to give voice to those on all sides of the debate. Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most contentious issues of our time.
