I've just discovered your podcast and have listened to a couple of them. I appreciate the work that goes into this broadcast.
Your section in this podcast on "revealing clothing" was disturbing. For a moment, I almost shut off your broadcast, thinking "wow, who needs this crap." But part of my recovery program is honoring my voice and opinion enough to share it with others.
I'm formulating a response and will be phoning it in so I can voice my opinion. In the meantime this video by a 13 year old deals with what you've engaged in — "slut shaming" and the pervasive "rape culture/rape supportive culture." I hope all three of you take time to watch it and learn something. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/11/slut-shaming-13-year-old_n_1199013.html
