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.

AMD sits down with three women who participated with S-Factor and Sheila Kelley in more than one way.
