Sex work has always been around, but it still faces huge taboos and criminalisation. And with more people than ever taking on sex work, we wanted to chat about what that world is REALLY like, especially for people in bigger bodies. So this week we're joined by the FABULOUSLY funny Miranda Kane, who used to work under the name “Melody BBW” and actually might be louder than Lauren?!?!! And we chatted about sex worker rights, our thoughts on ‘BBW', becoming sexually empowered, and some wild stories including Cape Face Dave, and the Bin Man… Plus we had a little catch up about the Bake Off Musical!! P.s. a huge thank you to our Patron Ro for suggesting Miranda as a guest! Today's sponsors:

Raconteuse Miranda shares the bits of writing that didn't quite make it, along with tales of her former life as a sex worker, in a show that's definitely NSFW. Clips performed by Chris Pavlo, Bhavnisha Parmar and Emma Clarke. Warning: This episode contains strong language and explicit material. Miranda Kane is a comedian, writer, and performer who garners inspiration from her previous career as a sex-worker and her more recent work in organising body positive events. She writes and stars in the Audible sitcom SLAVING AWAY, based upon her ‘utterly mundane life as a dominatrix', which reached number one in the Audible charts and has had its third season recently released. She has also written sex blogs and co-hosts the ‘Good Sex/Bad Sex' podcast for Metro. She is a sex-worker rights activist, raising money for charities which support sex-workers. She takes part in debates and public speaking events to promote the decriminalisation of sex-work, and in 2017 she was a TedX speaker where her ‘idea worth spreading' was that comedy and storytelling can help change the public's opinion of sex-workers to allow them to work in safety and without fear of persecution or prosecution. She currently runs Club Indulge – a range of Body Positive events aimed at providing a safe space for plus size people to enjoy being party animals.

In GBA 262 we get better acquainted with Miranda Kane. We recorded this conversation at the Audible studios in London during the recording of her new audio sitcom Slaving Away which is a comedy about a cheerful and happy-go-lucky single girl who just happens to be a dominatrix that will be hitting your earways this August. We talk about making comedy about sex work and sex worker rights, why it took a while for her to realise she could fit into the world of stand-up comedy, not making fat people and sex workers into punchlines and lots more. We also talk about her show Coin Operated Girl which is back again at this year's PBH Free Fringe: https://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/event/602895-the-coin-operated-girl/ For more about sex worker rights, decriminalization and sex worker led activism see: Sex Worker Open University: http://www.sexworkeropenuniversity.com/ Toni Mac: The Laws That Sex Workers Really Want: https://www.ted.com/talks/toni_mac_the_laws_that_sex_workers_really_want GBA 197 - Toni https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-197-toni Miranda Plugs: Slaving Away: https://www.amazon.com/Slaving-Away-Speaking-Audible-Original/dp/B010PRLWLI I plug: The Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefamilytreepodcast What About the Men?
