Life as a Gang Member - Calen Morris (aka Uncle Ling Ling) on Prison, P, Issues with Police & More!

This is a podcast conversation with Calen Morris, a 501 deportee and patched member of one of New Zealand’s most notorious motorcycle clubs.

Warning: This podcast discusses drug use, suicide, violence, self-harm and other sensitive topics. Viewer or listener discretion is advised.

If you need help, a full list of resources is available below.

An offer I extend to all my guests is the option to edit out anything they are not comfortable with before the podcast is released. This is to create a space where they feel totally unguarded and willing to go into subjects they may otherwise avoid. Today’s guest exercised that right and, as I do with all my guests, I respect their wishes. So, if some questions or areas you hoped would be addressed are missing, that may be way.

My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgmental long form conversation.

Thanks for understanding and listening.
