Apply Topically Podcast: Consent Matters No Matter What

Howdy 2018! We are back with everybody’s favorite infrequently appearing but always entertaining and thoughtful podcast! Today’s topic is all about consent in light of recent sexual abuse and rape news that has been pouring out of Hollywood. We know there isn’t much else to add that hasn’t been said, but we decided a couple more voices can’t hurt, especially given that the topic of consent has been sort of buried in the conversation.

Trigger warning: a very harrowing story of abuse is discussed at about the 20 minute mark and ends about 6 minutes later, which is marked by my stunned silence and attempts to comprehend everything.
