Jeremy Indika PodcastHow to Talk to Children About Their Bodies, Consent, and Boundaries — with Dr. Angela TanIn this episode, I speak with Dr. Angela Tan about how to talk to children and young people about their bodies, consent, personal boundaries, and safety.

I speak honestly, but gently—because young children deserve to be informed and protected without being overwhelmed.This isn’t just a lesson—it’s the conversation I wish someone had with me at that age.2025-05-1335 min
Jeremy Indika PodcastUnderstanding how a child becomes a target | Interview with Anna SonodaIn this episode, Jeremy speaks with Anna Sonoda, author of Duck Duck Groom, about how grooming works and how adults—not children—must be empowered to recognize and interrupt it.

The conversation focuses on the need for adult education, strong communication with children, and community-wide action to prevent abuse before it happens.Anna's bio.Anna Sonoda, an Emory University graduate with degrees in Anthropo...2025-04-101h 05

It’s about a power dynamic and if someone gets aroused, or gets a thrill out of exploiting someone more vulnerable than them, then that is what they will do - it doesn’t matter what a...2024-11-041h 00

Jeremy Indika PodcastREACTION: Has teen porn taken it too far?Girls are making a lot of money starring in scenarios where they behave underage (speaking with high pitched voices, in colourful bedrooms, whilst holding teddy bears and having sex).There are no laws against this, so no one is breaking any rules. The girls are over 18 and the directors say, the younger they can make them look, the better, because the men love it and the views are going through the roof, which means everyone’s making a lot of money and no one’s getting hurt, so what’s the problem? If...2023-12-201h 12
Jeremy Indika PodcastINTERVIEW: Siblings inappropriately touching each otherI know this is something that we never want to think about. But with children being naturally curious, and learning behaviours from what they are see on TV and online, they do things that they don't fully understand - this is more common than you think. I've interviewed Dr. Sophie King-Hill onto this podcast, who's a leading researcher on this topic to help us understand more. Sophie's bioSophie is an Associate Professor in the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham. She specialises in sexual behaviours and...2023-12-0655 min

Jeremy Indika PodcastINTERVIEW: Charity that helps 3-year olds recover from sexual abuse.When you think of 3-year olds, 5-year old, 7-year olds etc, you think why would anyone sexual abuse something so kind and innocent? And another question is, how could anyone even get aroused by doing such a thing? But whilst we’re asking those questions, it’s actually happening in real life, so I’ve brought a charity called Brave Futures onto my podcast who work with these children to give them a better life.Caroline speaks about the techniques they use with children as young as 3-years old, the challenges of doing a job like this a...2023-11-0750 min

Jeremy Indika PodcastDISCUSSION: Is porn turning teenage boys aggressive?Alcohol, cigarettes and films have age restrictions on them, but when it comes to pornography, everything changes. We’ve now got 13-year old boys watching hours of extreme content, like girls being gagged so forcefully during oral that they can hardly breathe.

Jeremy Indika PodcastDISCUSSION: Sexual abuse can feel niceThis is shocking I know. But I want to speak more on this. There are many situations where force and violence are not used. It can be gentle, considered as caring, making the child feel like they are doing a good thing by letting the adult touch them in between their legs.Think about 5-years olds, 7-year olds etc, still so vulnerable, and I know this is uncomfortable, but if we don’t start unpacking the reality of this, we stand no chance.

Jeremy Indika PodcastINTERVIEW: Teenagers having sex whilst still confused on consentIf your hooking up with someone for the first time - maybe at a party or a night out - how would you get consent? Pull out a contract and ask them to sign it? Ask every 5-minutes ‘is it still a yes’?Confusing right? And we’re the adults here, now imagine what it’s like to be a teenager, with the added pressure of schools telling you one thing, the law saying something else and the reality of the situation being completely different from both of these.

Jeremy Indika PodcastINTERVIEW: Is paedophilia in the brain from birth?I’ve interviewed Dr. James Cantor, an internationally recognised sex researcher, neuroscientist and psychologist. He discussed his findings with paedophilia (when someone’s arousal comes from children) and how we stand the best chance, as a society, of ensuring the crime never happens in the first place. And before anyone says ‘just kill em’, I’m not talking about our options AFTER the crime’s been committed, I’m talking about BEFORE. Can we reach that person when they’re a teenager, or even as soon as they start thinking about hurting a child for the first time.2023-08-111h 02
Jeremy Indika PodcastREACTION: Paedophile's speak out in new documentaryPaedophile’s ask why we only get involved once they’ve offended.

How are you feeling as you read this? Whatever your emotions are, I urge you to go check out my new podcast episode where I review a documentary that questions, if as a society, we are serious about the safety of children, why the hell are...2023-07-271h 41

Jeremy Indika PodcastDISCUSSION: Liam's touching his cousins private parts.We all know that kids love to play together, and it's great for their self-esteem. Being active and using their imagination helps them grow. We watch them play and think everything's fine, right? They seem very active and happy!But here's something to think about: imagine a 7-year-old named Liam and his cousin. They came up with a game that wasn't appropriate, and they kept it a secret from the grown-ups for years. This short story makes us wonder about what children may be exposed to without us knowing and how it can affect them as...2023-06-1902 min

Jeremy Indika PodcastREACTION: Young and vulnerable teenage girlsWhen you reflect on how you were as a teenager, eager to impress and looking for attention, you start to remember how vulnerable that stage of your life was. In fact, it’s quite scary to think, you honestly believed that you knew everything at that age.I’ve now learnt how that attitude leaves a teenager open. Open to manipulation by adults who want to take advantage of them, especially online.

After seeing how things have played out since the video clip of him asking the boy to suck his tongue went hugely viral all over the internet, I wanted to see if I could present both sides of the discussion so that we could talk about it together.

Jeremy Indika PodcastREACTION: Should paedophile's spend their life in prison? - GMBObviously, our answer to this is YES. But this lawyer comes onto national TV to explain why it's not possible. There are 100,000 convicted sex offenders currently on the register (walking our streets), and to put them all in prison for life would come at an astronomical cost that no one is prepared to pay for. Alongside the fact that our prison capacity is 85,000 and it’s already full with other criminals.
