Yesterday, we heard from former USAID administrator Dr. Atul Gawande about the lives lost because of the gutting of the United States Agency for International Development. On today's show, we focus on people in Nepal and their experiences before and after the cuts to foreign assistance. In Nepal, USAID helped fund organizations whose efforts centered on fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS. And some of those organizations employed transgender aid workers, who are living in a country where existing outside the gender binary is generally forbidden. But after the cuts to USAID, many of these trans women have resorted to sex work – putting themselves at risk for the same disease they worked so hard to stop. To learn more about their stories, we spoke with Kristen Gelineau, a global investigative reporter for the Associated Press who visited Nepal in the spring.And in headlines, hundreds of people have been killed in flash floods that swept through the Nepal-China border, President Donald Trump announced Lake Ontario will now be known as Lake America, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gets ready to leave the White House.Show Notes: Check out Kristen's work – tinyurl.com/ybc78uka Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

What really goes on behind the scenes of sugar babying? In this revealing conversation, Amanda Goff and Kate Kennedy dive deep into the realities of the sugaring industry. Kate discusses landing her first high-paying "whale" client at 20, navigating non-judgmental companionship, setting ironclad personal boundaries, and managing financial dynamic kinks like "pay pigs."She opens up about moving away from secret side hustles to hosting her hit podcast, Make Them Pay, which has racked up over one million downloads. Together, they break down common misconceptions surrounding sex work, exposing why most clients simply seek stress-free companionship over wild fantasies. They also tackle the tough topics: dealing with boundary-pushing clients, handling family reactions, overcoming public stigma, and why traditional dating often pales in comparison to the honesty of a transactional relationship.

Thursday Headlines: Students to stage school walkout over Pauline Hanson One dead and more than 200 rescued after Bali ferry fire News bargaining incentive hits parliament today Victorian authorities prepare for mass vaccine event of little penguins Tooth decay cases soar across Australia as people put off expensive dentist work Deep Dive: When Bension Siebert's role was made redundant, the award-winning journalist found himself staring down a shrinking media industry that no longer seemed willing to invest in the investigations he'd spent his career chasing. A week later, he was walking out of a stranger's apartment with $600 in his pocket, having just taken his first paid in-person sex work booking. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou and Sacha Barbour Gatt welcome their former colleague and co-host back to the mic to unpack an unlikely career move - and the essay about it that's turned his life upside down in a matter of days. Bension explains how five hours of sex work can out-earn a week of journalism, why he sees it less as a last resort than a kind of liberation, and how a media landscape squeezed by redundancies and legal risk pushed him toward telling the stories he says newsrooms won't.

In a locked crypt, sealed with heavy marble and solid stone, the impossible happens: the dead move. Join Elton as he uncovers one of history's most chilling, unexplained phenomena: the Chase Family Crypt. What force could toss massive lead caskets around a room no living soul could enter?In this episode, Elton dives deep into a locked-room enigma that has stumped skeptics and believers for two centuries. When the heavy marble seal of the Chase vault was broken to receive new members of the wealthy planter family, workers found the massive lead caskets inside tossed, upended, and violently slammed against coral walls—all while the external seals remained perfectly intact. From the brutal reputation of Colonel Thomas Chase to Governor Combermere's high-stakes "sand trap" inspection, we explore the architectural, historical, and potentially supernatural forces behind these restless remains.Also, side note: Thanks for helping me avoid sex work...and also helping sex workers avoid me trying to do sex work.

Drawing on Lacan, Baudrillard, and Badiou, we explore fantasy, desire, the gaze, sexual difference, dysphoria, sex work, the commodification of the body, and whether AI can ever truly replace human intimacy.We also get into dating apps, algorithmic matchmaking, the fantasy of the perfect partner, Bonnie Blue, sex positivity, the disappearance of eroticism, and whether AI chatbots could ever function as therapists or psychoanalysts.Listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all podcast platforms.Timestamps:0:00 Why AI Girlfriends Are Happening So Fast2:56 OneDime Radio Intro3:54 Welcome to The Backroom5:00 Lacan, Sex, and Enjoyment11:44 Baudrillard and the Obscene15:14 Does the Female Gaze Exist?19:42 Femininity as Performance21:40 Dysphoria, Gender, and Subjectivity29:47 Motherhood and the Overcoded Body33:26 Bonnie Blue, Sex Bots, and Capitalism42:25 Sex Work and Sex Positivity46:27 AI Girlfriends and Romantic Fantasy54:09 Dating Apps and Algorithmic Arranged Marriage56:59 Badiou: Love as an Event59:08 Can AI Replace Therapy?1:06:40 Isabel's Forthcoming WorkGUEST: Dr. Isabel MillarBook: *The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence*https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-67981-3FOLLOW 1DIME:X: https://x.com/1DimeOfficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeSubstack: https://1dimereview.substack.com/

Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking. Sine Plambech joins Nuala to tell us about her book and how she has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of money and sex across the globe, while introducing us to four women from Thailand and Nigeria at the heart of her research.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson
When someone says ‘sex work' in India, what do you assume? That it is illegal and that everyone involved in it is probably a victim of trafficking? The reality however, is far more nuanced. An adult engaging in voluntary sex work is not a crime in India. Running a brothel, public solicitation, other activities connected to sex work and human trafficking, however, are crimes. About two weeks ago, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgement hinged on this distinction spelling out clearly that a voluntary sex worker could not be treated in the same manner as a trafficked victim. It said that a raid cannot now sweep up all women found in red light area and confines them in protection homes – it must determine if she is a victim of trafficking or a voluntary worker and that the woman's consent must be the primary consideration when it comes to rehabilitation. What does this judgement mean for sex work in India? Do our laws on sex work need to change? Why does rescue and rehabilitation in India invariably mean confinement in a home and how do other countries navigate this?

Jas Rawlinson is a fearless journalist, author and advocate. But before she was any of those things, she was a girl trying to survive in a home filled with domestic violence and coercive control. Jas grew up watching her father abuse her mother. She carried that shame into her first relationship, where love bombing turned into sexual abuse. But Jas didn't stay silent. She reclaimed her story and her power. And now, she's on a mission to expose the systems that exploit vulnerable women. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Jas explains the difference between physical and emotional abuse, and why the latter is so often dismissed, why she went undercover to expose Brisbane’s illegal massage parlour industry, and why she refuses to believe all men are the problem. This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault and men's violence against women. If you or anyone you know is impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence, contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for counselling, information and support services anytime.

On Saturday night, more than 100 people who live around Aurora Avenue North in Seattle marched to protest gun violence in their neighborhood. It was organized to call attention to the escalating number of shootings neighbors and law enforcement say are related to sex trafficking in the Aurora corridor. In desperation, some neighbors recently took matters into their own hands and put up makeshift street barriers to try to stop people from driving through neighborhoods. The city council has begun working on legislation that would allow the city to close off streets at the discretion of the chief of police. The hope is that this would help curb violence. But on Saturday, neighbors expressed anger that the city isn’t doing more to stop shootings and to help the victims of sex trafficking. So what’s happening on Aurora? And what is being done to fix it? Guests: Alex Voorhees, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for King County. Audrey Baedke, executive director of SAFE in Washington. Amber with Green Light Project.

Season 6, Episode 747: The Raw Truth about Sex Work, Shame, and Autonomy with Ex-Webcam Girl and Author Breezie Axelrod. What happens when a woman loses everything — her financial stability, her family support, even access to her own bank accounts — and the only thing left is her body and her will to survive? The Webcam Girl Next-Door is Breezie Axelrod's raw, unapologetic memoir detailing how she went from full-time caregiver to webcam performer after her father's sudden abduction and a devastating family betrayal left her financially stranded. No ID. No recent work history. No safety net. What followed wasn't fantasy — it was survival. Told through her real, unfiltered journal entries, Breezie documents the emotional, sexual, and psychological realities of entering the webcam world out of desperation. The book pulls back the curtain on digital intimacy, power dynamics, shame, empowerment, and the complicated truth behind subscription-based adult platforms. This isn't a glamorized "sex work success" story. It's messy. Vulnerable. Sometimes dark. Sometimes funny. And fiercely honest about what it means to monetize desire when the alternative is losing everything. Get the book "The Webcam Girl Next-Door" (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/4utjCPh Topics: – The raw realities of webcam performance – What people get wrong about online sex work – Survival sex vs. empowerment narratives – Digital intimacy and the illusion of control – Family betrayal and rebuilding from nothing Emotional connection is often more valuable than explicit content, men who wanted to participate often just wanted a genuine human connection.

Max Morris's Not Sex Work: Queer Intimacy, Post-identity, and Incidental Encounters in the Digital Era (Routledge, 2025) brings together feminist theory, media studies, and queer research methodologies to offer new, compelling insight the relationships between money, digital platforms, and sex. Through longstanding engagement with gay, queer, and bisexual men who do not describe themselves as sex workers and who exchange sex or sexual services for money through digital platforms, Morris highlights how ‘incidental sex work' problematizes commonly-held assumptions of both work and intimacy. By starting from the position of unsettling what sex work might be, Morris holds space for ambivalences about labour, risk, and sex itself—destabilizing binaries found within both research and policy work. Not Sex Work's attention to how economics and intimacy shapes identity offers important analyses of not only what we might understand sex work to be, but also how digital platforms shape and reshape understandings of gender and sexuality. Max Morris is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology at Oxford Brookes University. Using creative and feminist methodologies, their research focuses on gender, sexuality, HIV, digital platforms, and sex work. Rine Vieth is an FRQ Postdoctoral Fellow at Université Laval. They are currently studying how anti-gender mobilization shapes migration policy, particularly in regards to asylum determinations in the UK and Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS ON PATREON! www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dopey Episode Summary This Week on Dopey! We open the show in full single-dad chaos mode—juggling pickups, tutoring, dance class, concerts, naps gone wrong, and trying to make it home in time for the Knicks game. He announces the upcoming Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival, then reads an extremely heavy anonymous listener email about sexual compulsion, addiction, shame, and finding support through SLAA. The episode then shifts into classic Dopey mode with a wild voicemail involving cocaine psychosis, being naked with a fork, a pheasant-feather hat, and a guy selling condoms on campus. We dives into Spotify and Patreon comments from the Andy Dick episode, reading praise, criticism, jokes, sobriety milestones, and fan reactions. Then the show turns into the main event: a long, gritty, hilarious and vulnerable interview with Zoe Hansen. Zoe talks about growing up in wealthy but emotionally barren Chelsea, London, getting kicked out of school, discovering punk rock, heroin at 15, and moving to New York at 17. She describes working in hair and nightlife before entering the sex industry to support her habit, eventually becoming a seasoned brothel worker and heroin addict in late-80s Manhattan. She tells incredible stories about brothel life, clients, police raids, methadone stash strategies, Lower East Side heroin stamps, speedballing in Hell's Kitchen, dying briefly after a cocaine overdose in the Chelsea Hotel, waking blind, and living in the room where Nancy Spungen died. Zoe also reflects on spirituality, trauma, recovery, old New York, and writing her memoir Going Down in Gotham. A true Dopey legend episode.
