Guardians Of Innocence Guardians Of Innocence Guardians of Innocence is a powerful and informative podcast designed to equip parents, teachers, and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to protect children from the growing threat of trafficking. Each episode dives deep into the tactics traffickers use to target vulnerable children—both online and in real life—and provides actionable advice on how to recognize the warning signs.Through expert interviews with cyber safety professionals, law enforcement, and survivors, we uncover the latest grooming methods, share real-world stories, and empower listeners to become vigilant guardians of innocence in their own families and communities.Guardians of Innocence is more than just a podcast; it’s a call to action to safeguard our children, raise awareness, and foster a united front against trafficking.Listen. Learn. Protect. Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Tim May on Ohio State Football Lettermen Row Tim May brings decades of experience to his work covering Ohio State football.
