Sex Work is Work Podcast

Hello and welcome to the “Sex Work is Work” podcast, the show that is about sex work, by sex workers - because there is nothing about us without us.

Once a month we interview guests about their experiences in the sex work world. We also have an additional mini episode every month called “Miss Kitty’s Diary” that talks about mini topics of conversation in the sex work world.

From escorts to constitutional challenges - listen to all the stories behind the profession and learn something along the way too!
