Babble On

Sex! It’s a short word, but a big topic. And one part of sex that’s getting more and more attention these days are the people who provide sex-related services for others. This is “Babble On,” the podcast that asks “who’s talking about sex workers and why?” Hosted by Vanessa Ontiveros.

Throughout this series, we’ve been hearing about the ways that sex works have seized the means of narration to tell their own stories. Today, we’ll be looking to see if that boon in representation has translated to an increase in political power. And we’ll hear from advocates for sex workers rights about the recent history and hopeful future of the movement.

As long as there has been writing, there have been sex workers writing about their experiences. Like all communication, the advent of the internet made it easier for writers to get their messages out there. That along with shifting attitudes toward sex work have lead to a wave of sex workers writing about their lives, complications included. Today, we’ll be hearing from sex working writers who have shared their experiences and wisdom through blogs, books and magazines.

Sex workers who are looking to tell longer stories about their work and experiences can turn to an accessible platform: podcasts. You know them, you hopefully love them because you’re reading the description of one right now. Today, we’ll be talking to three people who work or have worked in the sex industry about their own podcasts.

Social media is everywhere and everything nowadays. This has blossomed into a rich community of sex workers — some who would identify as activists, some who wouldn’t — all publicly sharing about the things that matter to them. In this episode we’ll talk to some of the sex workers who use social media to educate others.

Sex! It’s a short word but a big topic. And one part of sex that’s getting more and more attention these days are the people who provide sex-related services to others.

But sex workers have been telling their own stories for a long time now. From books to blogs, from zines to tweets, from videos to podcasts, there are a lot of ways to learn about sex work from the experts. And on this show, we’ll dive into them.

Over the next six episodes, we’ll hear about the power of storytelling from sex workers who have seized the means of communication.

This is “Babble On,” the podcast that asks “who’s talking about sex workers and why?” 

Look for Babble On wherever you get your podcasts May 5.
