Hello hello hello! Welcome to our very special Christmas episode of Really Good Exposure! We're joined by the absolute badass that is Kaytlin Bailey. Kaytlin is a writer, a comedian, host of 'The Oldest Profession' podcast and founder and CEO of 'Old Pros' - a non profit media organisation that uses storytelling to advocate for sex workers' rights. Kaytlin's phenomenal solo show 'Whore's Eye View' will be on in London from 3rd-7th December and I must insist that everyone reading this get tickets immediately here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whores-eye-view-kaytlin-bailey-tickets-1034970433427 Kaytlin and I get into how we both found our Edinburgh fringe experiences, how we're going to be spending the holidays and we break down the naked, drunken origins of some of our favourite modern day Christmas traditions... We also talk about our best and worst Christmas jobs, why Santa was coined the 'Patron Saint of Sex Workers' and why the strip club is the jolliest place to be on Christmas Eve. Find out more about the Old Pros organisation via their website: https://oldprosonline.org/ Sign up to the Old pros mailing list here: https://oldpros.respond.ontraport.net/ Listen to 'The Oldest Profession' podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oldest-profession-podcast/id1296601569 Old Pro's instagram: @OldProsOnline Kaytlin's Instagram: @KaytlinBailey A lot of the topics we talk about on Really Good Exposure relate to women's rights, worker rights and the sorry state both of these are in right now. I believe that women have the right to choose what they do with their bodies and how they make their money, and I believe that how we choose to use our bodies should never, ever alleviate perpetrators of violence from accountability. I believe all workers deserve basic human rights and protections. And I believe that predators are always responsible for violence, not victims. If you agree, please consider donating to National Ugly Mugs. National Ugly Mugs (NUM) is a pioneering, national organisation that provides greater access to justice and protection for sex workers. Sex workers are targeted by dangerous individuals and face obstacles to reporting, access to services and police protection. Those who harm sex workers offend against all of us!

Read the full transcript here. Why are sex workers treated so badly in the US? What effects do licensing requirements have on sex workers and their customers? How do sex worker rights connect with privacy rights more broadly? In what philosophical principles ought sex worker rights (and their customers' rights) to be grounded? How do sex work laws affect people who aren't sex workers? Is "whore-phobia" the root of all misogyny? Is misogyny built into human nature, or is it learned? How does testicle size affect evolutionary fitness? Must religions necessarily have rules and norms about sexual purity? How do the Abrahamic religions teach sexual purity, and to whom are these lessons taught? Do sex workers have more or fewer STIs than the average "civilian"? If Alice is a sex worker and has had sex with 20 partners, and Bridget is not a sex worker and has also had sex with 20 partners, then which of them is considered to be the more promiscuous of the two? What sorts of tools and processes do sex workers use to screen clients? Are sex workers harmed (psychologically, physically, etc.) more through sex work than the average person is harmed through their work? How common are pimps nowadays? What are the various legal models for sex work around the world? Why does there seem to be a strong connection between sex work and illegal drug use? Why are women more opposed than men to the legalization of sex work? Does legal sex work potentially encourage the objectification of women and thus increase misogyny?Kaytlin Bailey is the founder and Executive Director of Old Pros, a nonprofit focused on changing the status of sex workers in society.

Sarah McCammon's upbringing was steeped in evangelical culture—raised as a Charismatic Christian in Kansas City, Missouri, she asked God for salvation at just two years old. Soon she was ‘street witnessing', trying to convert strangers to her mega-church; praying at family dinners for the salvation of her atheist grandfather; and crediting Jesus for healing her stubbed toe. As a teen, she followed the expected path: wearing a purity ring, committing to abstinence before marriage, attending a Christian university, getting married, and starting a family. But then, she left it all behind. In this candid conversation with Olly, Sarah—now a national political correspondent for NPR—unpacks the emotional, social, and political forces that shaped her beliefs, and ultimately led her to walk away from the evangelical world. Offering a compelling insider's view of life within the movement, she delves into the personal cost of leaving her faith, and explains the deep connection between white evangelicals and their unwavering support for Donald Trump. Sarah's book, The Exvangelicals, is out now. _______ Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart takes on the challenge of preparing for the Government's infamous ‘Life in the UK' test. Although already a British citizen, Ollie has been swotting up to answer a dozen real-life questions from the extensive pool of questions that aspiring citizens must study. Can he correctly respond to the required 75%? With topics ranging from British history to culture and law—and a £50 fee per attempt—he and Olly soon realise just how tricky and unpredictable these questions can be… _______ Elsewhere, in the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from a surprisingly intimate moment with the Teletubbies - considers the ethics of hiring a sex worker. Is it ever truly possible to ensure prostitutes have not been trafficked by criminal gangs? What distinctions exist between the proposed decriminalization and legalisation of sex work? And even if women choose to enter the field due to poverty and desperation - does that necessarily mean they are victims? With the help of sex worker-turned-author and comedian Kaytlin Bailey and the English Collective of Prostitutes, Alix gives this sticky quandary her very best shot… _______ Finally, the music Making Us Happy this month… is Jason Derulo's Make Me Happy
Kaytlin Bailey is a comedian, performer, former sex worker, and she is the executive director and founder of the Non-Profit, Old Pros Online, an organization dedicated to the decriminalization of sex work. We've both incorporated policy passions into our creative endeavors, her with sex work and me with Digital Rights. Those two issues cross pollinate a good bit. I've known her since we were both starting out in comedy, and have been following her new chapter for awhile now.
This week in Open to Debate a sex worker rights advocate and a human rights attorney have a passionate and vigorous debate about these laws, with the common goal of figuring out what's best for sex workers.

She is also on several national task forces that help educate policymakers on preventing sex trafficking and violence.
Join us this week for a conversation with Kaytlin Bailey, a seasoned activist, comedian, and champion for sex workers' rights.

New York-based comedian and sex worker advocate Kaytlin Bailey is in Wellington with a one-woman show about the world's oldest profession.
In this episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, host Kaytlin Bailey celebrates the life of Pamela Churchill Harriman, a remarkable woman whose journey kept her at the forefront of history through the 20th century. Born in 1920, Pamela came of age on the cusp of WWII, marrying Randolph Churchill days before Hitler began bombing London. After divorcing the prime minister's son she embarked on a career as prominent socialite and companion of the rich and powerful in the high society of Milan, New York and Paris. Pamela's charisma and wit opened doors to powerful circles. However, it was resilience, political acumen, and fundraising ability that truly defined her legacy. In 1990 Bill Clinton asked her to serve as the United States Ambassador to France, which she proudly did. Pamela Churchill Harriman is an iconic figure worthy of exploration in this captivating episode.

In this eye-opening episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, host Kaytlin Bailey dives into the dark history of the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland and the homes for unwed mothers in the United States. These institutions were once touted as charitable organizations for "fallen women" and pregnant teens, but concealed a dark reality of exploitation and abuse.

Through compelling research, this episode sheds light on the pervasive impact of these institutions that exploited and harmed countless lives.

In this episode, I talk with comedian and sex worker rights advocate Kaytlin Bailey about life after the death of her father just over a year ago. Already a performer and activist before her Father Joe developed dementia, and ultimately cancer, Kaytlin helped her father write his memiors about his life and career in the US Army, and spending as much time as she could before it was too late. We talk about how having mutual respect for differing opinions and perspectives can help nurture a solid relationship, and allow us to stand up for ourselves even when going through an emotional time.

In this episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, host Kaytlin Bailey explores the significance of December 17th, which is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This day has been observed by sex worker advocates and allies worldwide since December 17, 2003. Originally conceived as a memorial for the victims of the Green River serial killer in Seattle, this event reignited the sex worker rights movement and has kept the movement alive for the last twenty years. In this episode, Kaytlin Bailey highlights the challenges faced by the sex worker rights movement in the 1990s and early 2000s, including violence, an increase in law and order policing, and the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. She pays tribute to Annie Sprinkle, an accomplished performance artist and sex worker rights advocate and Robin Few, one of the founders of SWOP USA, who both played a pivotal role in organizing the first International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This annual ritual hosted around the world on December 17th allows sex workers and their allies to gather, share their stories, and commemorate those who have lost their lives to violence. These events serve as a powerful reminder that sex workers are real people and deserve dignity, respect, and safety. We at Old Pros encourage listeners to attend or host a December 17th event to support the sex worker rights movement and create awareness about the violence faced by sex workers worldwide.

We criminalize sex work under the guise of protecting people, particularly women and children, from exploitation. But what are the true consequences of law enforcement's efforts to prevent human trafficking? What if the fastest way to trap someone in a life of prostitution is to arrest them for it? Have you considered the broad spectrum of reasons why someone might choose to be a sex worker? Or purchase sexual services? Kaytlin Bailey is Founder and Executive Director at Old Pros, a nonprofit working to decriminalize sex work, and Host of The Oldest Profession Podcast. As a stand-up comic, sex worker rights advocate and writer, Kaytlin is an irreverent expert on the history of sex work and a leader in ending the shame associated with ‘the oldest profession.' On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Kaytlin joins Anjel to explain how her organization helps people release the shame around sexuality and sex work. Kaytlin walks us through the consequences of criminalizing sex work, describing how the same tools we use to censor sex workers are used to deny access to abortion or reproductive sexual health care. Listen in for Kaytlin's vision of a future where sex work is neither illegal or shameful and learn why legislation that criminalizes sex work does more harm than good.

Join us on The Oldest Profession Podcast as we pay tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of Margo St. James. Known as the mother of the contemporary sex worker rights movement in the United States, Margo's impact was immeasurable. In 1973, she founded COYOTE (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics), a pioneering organization that championed the rights of sex workers. She organized the first and second World Whore's Conference bringing sex worker rights advocates from all over the world together. Her dedication to the cause led to the establishment of the St. James Infirmary in 1999, a health clinic established by and for sex workers in San Francisco. Margo inspired countless individuals and played a pivotal role in bringing sex worker issues into the mainstream. Through her media savvy and relentless advocacy, Margo challenged unjust laws, overturned her own conviction, and fought for the rights and dignity of sex workers. Listen in as we celebrate the extraordinary life of this trailblazer, honoring Margo St. James and her enduring contributions to sex worker rights.

We want you to check out another podcast. It's called The Oldest Profession podcast. Host and creator Kaytlin Bailey joins Ms Olivia and Ms Erika.This episode includes a candid conversation about whorephobia, slut shaming, sex work advocacy and life as sex workers.Kaytlin Bailey talks about being drawn to “bad girls” from an early age and then learning about the power of courtesans throughout history. She tells us about becoming a sex worker by choice and from a place of privelege as a way to explore to find her own truth about sex, boundaries, and erotic experiences.Insights into the connection between body autonomy, the ability to negotiate consent and sex work are examples from history and her own life.The ladies talk about the difference between a lover and a client. All three agree that clients often treat us better than some past lovers in terms of respect, kindness and value of the time spent together. This leads to a conversation about the spectrum of choice, circumstance and coercion for those who become sex workers. In the Nevada brothel system there is a push to call ladies courtesans instead of escorts. That discussion leads to a conversation about names that includes the use of the term sugar baby or sugar babies.Kaytlin is also a standup comic. She talks about the historical similarities between court jesters and courtesans. She turned her experiences into a critically acclaimed one woman show called Cuntagious. She is working on the second show called A Whore's Eye View.Kaytlin Bailey: https://oldprosonline.org/about/ https://whoreseyeview.com/Mistress Olivia: https://www.experiencedmistress.com/Mistress Erika: https://intelligentphonefantasy.com/PS: When Kaytlin talked about the link between the military and sacred whores, Ms Olivia tired to explain about seeing a production that used ancient plays to shed light on current issues. She didn't remember the name but looked it up later. Check the the Theater of War: https://theaterofwar.com/projects
In this episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, hosted by Kaytlin Bailey, we go on a journey to uncover the history and lasting legacy of the Mann Act, also known as the White Slave Law. Enacted in 1910, the Mann Act made it illegal to transport women across state lines for “immoral purposes.” Sold to the American people as a way of combating “white slavery” the Mann Act was broadly interpreted to include extra marital affairs, consensual interracial relationships in addition to adult sex workers. We explore the impact of the Mann Act on Americans and its ongoing legacy on sex workers and other marginalized communities. Your host, Kaytlin Bailey, unpacks the law's controversial history and the ways in which it has been used to perpetuate oppression.

In this episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, host Kaytlin Bailey dives into the life of Anthony Comstock who dedicated his life to eradicating “obscenity” and restricting women's reproductive rights.

While WWI was fought overseas, there was another war closer to home—a war on women known as “The American Plan.” Under the American Plan, tens of thousands of women were detained and injected with toxic chemicals based on their perceived ability to spread venereal disease, all in the name of protecting our soldiers. This week, our guest is comedian and sex-worker rights advocate Kaytlin Bailey, host of the Oldest Profession Podcast. We are talking about the history of sex work in America, the Mann Act, the Comstock Act, and the lasting legacy of the American Plan, which can still be felt today.
