Off Air with Jane & Fi

Welcome to a Friday special! This week's bonus episode features an interview with Vicky Ward, an investigative journalist who has spent decades reporting on Jeffrey Epstein. Vicky wrote a profile of Epstein for Vanity Fair back in 2003. It was due to include allegations of abuse from Maria and Annie Farmer - who filed the earliest known complaints against him - but those allegations were later redacted.
