Listen "From Gulags to Dirty Dancing: A Story of Snitches"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I explore the uneasy line between whistleblowing and snitching — one celebrated as courageous, the other condemned as betrayal. From mafia codes to gulags, from my own upbringing in a high-control religion, I trace how systems use informants to fracture loyalty, erode intimacy, and keep people afraid. What happens to relationships when trust no longer exists? And why do some who speak up lose everything, while others become heroes?This is a raw, wandering conversation — part history, part personal story, part reflection — on what trust, loyalty, and intimacy really mean in a world that profits from our division.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/charis-alura/donations
