42. Deviant Ollam
There’s a lot of overlap between hackers and sex workers. The two demographics share obstacles regarding constant misrepresentation and the threat of reactionary government and prosecutorial overreach. Deviant Ollam, a renowned lock-pick in both the digital and physical realms, noticing these areas of shared threat and interest, began freely offering his expertise in physical and digital security basics training for sex workers.
In today's episode, Deviant and I talk about assessing one's personal "threat model", managing the delicate balances between freedom, safety and security, what kinds of crazy gadgets are out there to both compromise and assure your safety, and the perfect way to construct an impenetrable password.

41. Re-Broadcast: Super Bowl Sex Trafficking
Every year, tales of the great and fabled Super Bowl sex trafficking upswing make their rounds online. These rumors instill fear in the upstanding public, and infuse law enforcement and anti-trafficking organization with cash for intervention measures. But this myth has been long-debunked, so why does it remain in such heavy rotation? Join me in talking with Reason.com Senior Editor Elizabeth Nolan Brown about the origin of this moral panic, and check out the Super Bowl Sunday Sex Worker Bail Out Fund, coordinated by SWOP-Behind Bars' Alex Andrews, in partnership with LIPS Tampa.

40. May Jeong
This week I’m joined by Vanity Fair reporter May Jeong. May has an impressive, award-draped body of work that is soon to include a book about sex work. She came into my life due to her incredible loongform reporting on the Robert Kraft Case. Our conversation in this episode centers around her evolution as a writer, how she came to be on the sex work beat, and how her own experiences, many relevant to her identity as a woman of Korean descent have shaped her conception of journalistic ethics and tone in covering sensitive topics.

Her murder alleged he'd punched her when she tried to rob him, and that she left of her own accord. But the coroner's report would tell a very different story.

22. John D
John is a man in his mid-30's who has only ever been with sex workers, and he has complicated feelings about it: on the one hand, keeping sexual intimacy transactional is much simpler for him - it takes a lot of the work out of people-ing, something that is especially draining for him because he has Aspberger Syndrome. On the other hand, the illegality of being a John has led him to some pretty dark and dangerous places. We talk about his first time, the mental health and trauma struggles that keep him from trying to establish more traditional relationships, and how criminalization makes getting one's needs met more dangerous and damaging for all parties involved.

16. Amy Taylor
The arc of Amy Taylor’s journey in the adult industry is wild: She started out as a broke student, achieved incredible success as an independent escort, fell victim to a high-profile industry predator who outed and stalked her before going to prison for attempting to hire someone to kill her, bravely returned to work and has since settled into what she considers to be a pre-retirement routine with some favorite regulars, with whom she’s weathering the world’s current obstacles. Amy’s clientele tends toward the upper crust. She has spent much of her 20 year career jet-setting with captains of industry. It was fascinating to talk with her about the nuances of her target demographics’ needs, as well as how she reconciles her sense of social responsibility with her professional responsibility to “keep sweet”.

13. Nicole Gilliland - Part One
Pandora's Box: Nicole Gilliland filed a Title IX lawsuit against Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) when it became clear she was being run out of the nursing program due to her previous career in porn. Since filing, SWOCC has fought back with the full force of their regional influence in Coos Bay, Oregon to discourage and discredit her. Gilliland was humiliated, exiled, driven to a suicide attempt, her children were taken from her and placed with abusive extended family members. She became homeless, was harassed by law enforcement and eventually had to flee for her life. Today Gilliland joins me to talk about her ongoing case against the school, how she and her family are recovering from their journey to hell-and-back these last two years and why she refuses to quit fighting.

7. Molly Morey
The Courageous Heart of Molly Morey: Molly leaned on dancing to get by after ending the relationship with her oldest child’s father and discovered that she truly loved it. As a young and newly-sober mother, the opportunity to get paid to doll up and socialize was invaluable to her mental health and self esteem. Sadly, a lack of worker protections from predatory male management ran her out of the industry. Today Molly and I talk about her fond memories from that now-former life, her sadness that some scumbag sucked the wind out of her sails, and how she found meaning and joy again in harm reduction, specializing in outreach to street-based sex workers at her hometown syringe echange.
