Browse era →This episode features a conversation between Trix and a 44-year-old guest who reflects on how their real-life connections are largely people who ended up in prison due to past involvement with drugs and gangs. The guest contrasts this with their online friendships, which span globally and provide genuine connection. The discussion evolves into deeper territory about the human need for belonging and identity, with the guest mentioning their involvement in 'Bea's gang' and having their own 'set to claim.'
