  • A must-listen for all feminists!

    This podcast has taught me so much! Things I thought I knew or understood have been absolutely blown wide open for me with this podcast and shown me that including and supporting sex workers is NECESSARY as they are the ones really challenging the patriarchy and other power structures. So thankful to hear these stories and be better educated by these amazing humans.

  • Pronouns

    Honestly asking people to state their personal pronouns as you start this podcast made me not want to listen any further. You complain about society going mental but then you take part in the mental. Counter productive and short sighted.

  • Great listen!

    As a civilian pole dancer myself, this podcast provides a way for me to hear about the experiences of strippers and sex workers that I might not otherwise learn about. Especially during the pandemic. So thankful for the people who share their stories and for AMD for providing a platform. Oh and it’s a great podcast to add to a list for intersectional feminism!
