UAAF Revisited: Pin Drop

“It wasn’t the only alley I was going down, it was just the alley I couldn’t figure out how to get back to.” - Matt ParkerThis summer, the world is watching the World Cup. Soon, we’ll be releasing a two-part series called The Cost of the Cup, examining two very different stories tied to the tournament: the trafficking myth you’ve heard a thousand times, and the human cost you’ve heard almost nothing about.But first, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes, originally released in July 2020.Seven years before we recorded Pin Drop, co-founder Matt Parker was in a taxi speeding through Bangkok at midnight when he glimpsed an obscure back alley where young girls were being sold. By the time he understood what he’d seen, it was gone, and he couldn’t find his way back to it.Seven years later, a chance encounter on another taxi ride brought him back. Listen to hear the full story, and the operation that was underway to free these trafficked victims.The Cost of the Cup is coming soon.
