How many episodes are there?
There are 100+ episodes at the time of writing, some interviewing guests on specific topics, some discussing wider issues within the sex workers industry in Ireland, all of them very educational.
Kind, thoughtful, and so very informative ♥
The host is a true superhost, she’s always prepared for each one of her guests, she is tuned in the topic and the cultural differences (her guests are often international) and she’s just so thorough with her questions. The podcast is educational, informative, and provides a new perspective.
I strongly recommend a listen, particularly if you are interested in learning more about sex work, there are quite a few episodes on the topic.
