When We Could Touch: Love Stories from the Time of Covid
Lux ATLLove once meant kisses, holding hands. Now love means distance, and hugs are bombs. My name is Lux ATL, and I am a writer, former professor, and lifelong exotic dancer turned head priestess of sensual awakening. From wild nights in the jungles of Bali, to long months locked down at home, these are my stories of heartbreaking desire and degenerate exploits in a socially-distant world.

I haven’t been following Lux ATL for too long on IG, but ever since I have, her content is seriously my daily dose! This podcast is a relief to me as I’m reminded I’m not alone and feel like I’m losing everything including my own mind during this pandemic. I also gave Lux’s other podcast Stripcast, a listen and it’s interesting, deep, dark, and real AF. You won’t regret diving into Lux ATL’s creativity.

Lux does it again, Covid style this time, and brings her intelligence and honesty together in this new podcast series. It’s not one to listen to with your kids around (or sheik I drove around my small town with the windows open and the volume apparently high enough that people could hear...sorry not sorry) but if you need 20 minutes at a time to find a space where all of your feelings and emotions are allowed and accepted, this is the place. From discussing the beauty of togetherness and expl... more

I listened to all Lux’s Stripcast podcasts, and am excited to see where the rest of these ones go, as well. Lux is a brilliant storyteller and tells her stories with such honesty and vulnerability.
