THE PRISON BIRTH
Chloe had been in and out of the system since she was 14 but this time Chloe turned herself in. She was pregnant and she was going to give birth in prison.
THE TROLL HUNTER
I wanted to find someone that has been on the receiving end of Trolling. Ginger Gorman is a journalist and author. After being horrifically trolled she decided to look into who, what and where are these trolls?
THE ICE ADDICT
Ed opens up to us about his innocent introduction to this deadly drug and how it took hold over every part of his life. His love affair with Ice was deep and he had no intentions of getting clean until something happened.
THE CONSCIOUS SEX WORKER
I have always been fascinated with sex workers. I just hadn't been exposed to many like Indie. Indie isn't your stereotype. She is natural, freckled, curvy with no shame in showing her body hair, self harm scars, cellulite and stretch marks.
THE TRAUMA CLEANER PART 2
Its the work no one wants to do, 3 week old decaying body- call the trauma cleaner, double suicide- call the trauma cleaner, meth lab explosion- call the trauma cleaner, 45 years worth of hoarding you call Sandra.
THE TRAUMA CLEANER PART 1
Sandra grew up as Peter and through his life he was many things: He became a father, a husband, a woman, a drag artist, a prostitute, a drug addict, a law abiding citizen, a married woman, one of Melbourne's high society, a business owner, a widow and a trauma cleaner.
THE TERMINAL PARENT
What would you do if you found out your life partner was doing meth, what if the lies didn't stop? What if after all that trauma and becoming a solo parent you get a terminal cancer diagnosis? No family around to help. No options. What would you do?
WELCOME TO THE DEEP
From terminal parents to sex workers, extremists and drug addicts, The Deep is a place for thought-provoking conversations that help us explore who we are, when no one is looking.

I’m hooked. -
Zoe has an incredible grace in her ability to hold space for people to spill their tenderness and humanness into the microphone. She asks the questions that as a listener you are almost crossing your fingers and begging her to ask. Every episode I get completely lost in.
