Unscrupulous

Episode 14 - Mercy Smugglers + Princess Caraboo


Listen Later

This week Adam (he/him) dives right in and tells us all about the brave Mercy Smugglers. People who are unscrupulous in the good way! They risk everything to bring people life saving medicine, crossing borders and engaging in truly dangerous activities all out of the goodness of their hearts.

Then Bec (they/them) who is so exhausted they barely remember recording this at all, tell you the tale of Princess Caraboo. A young woman lost, claiming to be a princess from a far off land, but is there a chance this newcomer is too good to be true?
