Episode Details

In early 2023 I was told that there was a woman who wanted to be interviewed about the death of her husband.I was a bit weary then, and because I didn’t have a studio, I recorded her story on a park bench in St Kilda.

But soon after I pressed record, I realised that I was recording the testimony of a murder.A murder that would never be investigated, never go to trial or result in a prosecution. Why?Because it was a state sanctioned murder.Glenn was killed by the hospital protocols that insisted he be medically-paralysed before being placed on a ventilator, where he lasted for 72 hours.I think the most upsetting part of this interview is when Kerry recalls how Glenn was crying as they prepared him for the ventilator. He felt that it would kill him. He was right.

Six years on, we’re still here — and reaching between five and six million people a month. That number isn’t just interviews. It includes the rants, the posts, the conversations, and everything else that happens in this space.

In a purely commercial sense, the smart move would be to lock everything behind a paywall. Why do all this work and give it away for free?Because we’re not a normal podcast. We’re closer to an online community — and a lot of people in this community are doing it really hard. Some of us are living in tents.We simply can’t, in good conscience, cut those people off because they can’t afford a subscription.So instead of going fully paid, we want to say this:To everyone who already supports the work — thank you. You are the only reason we’re still able to keep going.And if you regularly take something from what we put out, and you can comfortably afford to chip in, we’d be genuinely grateful if you did.Your support doesn’t just keep the lights on. It keeps this space open for the people who need it most.Thank you for being here.Kelli and MichaelCafe Locked Outhttps://cafelockedout.com/donate/
