Our take on The Binge Crimes: Lady Mafia podcast

What happens when the place we once believed was holy turns out to be a brothel? This is the Phoenix Goddess Temple story that went from a sacred and religious worship place to an undercover investigators hotspot. Everything was going fine for the speak-easy until an outsider exposed the prostitution and wrong-doings.
