Season 2 Episode One Trailer: "The Oldest Profession"

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS REAL-LIFE DESCRIPTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Retired full-service Sex Worker Betty James (pseudonym) shares her story of five years as a successful and highly sought-out escort. Our candid discussion covers James' own motivations for entering the profession, as well as questions many are afraid to publicly ask due to the burden of stigmatization placed on sex work. James articulately breaks down everything from the nuanced issue of consent to her views on decriminalization. In between, there is levity and laughs, and even some salacious bits, as the interview aims to make transparent a service labor that is both ancient and ubiquitous, yet often shrouded in repressive societal moral codes.
