Aline thinks back to their childhood and teenage years and remembers how their lack of interest in boys and sex made them an outcast. With the help of Megan Carroll, a sociology professor, and Angela Chen, author of "Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex,” Aline reflects on “compulsory sexuality" and why it’s so prevalent in society.


“This compelling personal story has lessons and insights for anyone with a body”, Tribeca Festival

"Though Free From Desire provides plenty of answers, its success isn’t rooted in being educational—accompanying Aline as they pursue agency and happiness, regardless of who understands it, fuels the show’s magic", The Atlantic

Free from Desire is a podcast originally published in France, where it made the cover of magazines.

It has been Tribeca Festival's best Audio Storytelling and Signal Awards' best Diversity, Equity & Inclusion podcast in 2023, and was one of the 25 best podcasts of 2023 for The Atlantic.
