OnlyFans is giving the Treasury what it wants – but should we be concerned?‘OnlyFans,' writes Louise Perry, ‘is the most profitable content subscription service in the world.' Yet ‘the vast majority of its content creators make very little from it'. So why are around 4 per cent of young British women selling their wares on the site? ‘Imitating Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips – currently locked in a competition to have sex with the most men in a day – isn't pleasant.' OnlyFans gives women ‘the sexual attention and money of hundreds and even thousands of men'. The result is ‘a cascade of depravity' that Perry wouldn't wish on her worst enemy.In business terms, however, OnlyFans is a ‘staggering success', according to economics editor Michael Simmons. ‘Britain's sex industry brings in far more to the economy than politicians are comfortable admitting'; OnlyFans might just be Britain's most profitable tech start-up. ‘If we are going to wage a moral war on porn,' Simmons argues, ‘we should at least be honest about what we're sacrificing.' Louise and Michael joined the podcast to discuss further (1:21).Next: could Xi Jinping's time be up?Historian Francis Pike writes about the unusual absence of China's President Xi. China-watchers have detected some subtle differences from the norm in Chinese media, from fewer official references to Xi to changes in routine politburo meetings. So, could Xi Jinping be forced to step down? And if so, who is on manoeuvres and why?Francis joined the podcast alongside former diplomat Kerry Brown, professor of China Studies at King's College London (22:31).And finally: is the era of the lonely hearts ad coming to an end?Tony Whitehead provides his notes on lonely hearts columns this week, writing about how, 330 years after they first appeared in print in Britain, they may soon disappear. Francesca Beauman – who literally wrote the book on the subject, Shapely Ankle Preferr'd – and Mark Mason join the podcast to provide their favourite examples, from the serious to the humorous (35:13).Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Janet suggested I speak to Tony. He's been busy all his life, whether that was with traveling around the world or working on important queer issues. He worked on Switchboard, he was the first chairperson on the Terrence Higgins Trust and he was fired from his first job for taking part in a documentary about gay life in Brighton. This sparked protest across the country. Tony's lived with HIV for many years and has been left almost blind due to complications to do with the virus. Tony's life is fascinating and he's achieved so much, so it was a huge pleasure to talk to him.
Meditation, a celebration, a warning, the marking of a solemn occasion, music: bells are a public sound that changes according to the landscape. And bell-ringing in Devon is unique: it all sounds a bit trance, according to Mary Ward-Lowery. She hears other mind-bending sounds in this programme, including the noisy tramping of ants' feet and the peaceful fusion of bells and birdsong. With artist Marcus Vergette, sound recordist Tony Whitehead, an award-winning band of Devon call-change ringers, oh, and a steeplejack who spends his life mending church towers rocked by centuries of bells swinging the mortar loose.
Tony Whitehead works for the RSPB and runs regular dawn chorus walks. He is also a sound recordist, specialising in recording nature, particularly bird song. After a dawn chorus walk as part of Soundcamp 2017 on the Dartington Estate, we sat under a tree to talk bird song, imagination and the need for quiet.
On the weekend of International Dawn Chorus Day, I attended Soundcamp on the Dartington Estate. After listening to a stunning dawn chorus, I talked to Tony Whitehead, ornithologist and sound engineer, who led the walk, and also to Shelley, Robert and Laura who joined me on the walk.
