YAS Podcast

Formerly known as "Yes, a Stripper Podcast". Strippers are real people that are capable of amazing things, in and outside of the strip club.  On “YAS Podcast” each week with a different guest, our hosts discuss what strippers are up to, what the climate in and outside of the clubs is like and how social classifications can be harmful to marginalized groups.  Strippers, sex workers, pole dancers and civilians can learn from stripper and sex worker community members and their allies.

YAS Podcast is a part of YAS Work Network, a network of podcasts about sex workers by sex workers.

Daisy Ducati interviews Amberly Rothfield, an expert in how to navigate the internet and social media as a sex worker. These days the internet is, for people who want to sell sex, an increasingly difficult place to exist. With algorithms changing constantly to suppress sex work and sex workers, it’s getting harder and harder to remain visible. Especially if you are also in a position of marginalization. Amberly is giving us the low down on what we need to know to be seen and to stay sane.

You would think by now with strippers in the mainstream media, having been around for centuries, that strippers would be treated equally in society. Strippers are who you turn to for comfort, for entertainment, to celebrate a victory and yes, for lap dances. But the stories of discrimination outside of the strip clubs is very real, especially for those that are responsible for others. Honey and Luna are strippers and mothers. Both dealing with either current events or the aftermath of a judge deciding their children's fate based on the work they do. Parents all around the world who are sex workers, need support and understanding and to remain connected to their children.

Vixen Temple, the obsession of Instagram, with her account being twice deleted for hate speech because of her powerful brain. The points she makes is seen as obscene by insecure men but powerful to those of us who see the world from the same lens. Vixen is a ball of energy, a beacon of light and sheds that light on the every day hypocrisies that we are forced to live with. Breath this one in deep.

Talking with Sonia, we got a much needed earful. Our last UK guest gave us some insight on the issues strippers and sex workers are dealing with over there, and Sonia just backed it all up and then some. AM's mind is completely blown when it comes to light that some stripper workers are paying the club for time off. This is too far and Sonia makes the case for why unionizing SWorkers is the way of the future.
