Beastly Truth: the story of George Howe

Black Sheep - A podcast by RNZ - Thursdays

Categories:

In the 1900s a series of lurid headlines were published in the New Zealand Truth about George Howe, a "Beastly Brothel-keeper". But what Truth found most "beastly" about Howe, is that he was Chinese. Black Sheep looks at the case of George Howe, his exploitation of underage sex workers, and the "editorial hate-crimes" of what was once NZ's most influential newspaper.
