Episode notes

Evidence of kink can be found throughout history. It isn’t new - but portrayals of it can lead to a cultural misunderstanding. With the help of experts and those in the kink community, Ruby explores the different ways kink can look and be practised, as well as the ways that shame and judgement is dealt with and combatted through community.

In Touch was hosted by Ruby Rare. It was produced by Bea Duncan, with executive producer Hana Walker-Brown. The production assistants were Rory Boyle and Mars West. This is a Broccoli Production.
