Sluts Unite!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PODCAST


On Saturday, July 14th I dedicated The Lair of Lady Monster to the 5th Biennial Sex Worker Film Festival.

Please note that the first thing you hear on the podcast is for the show prior to mine, Lilycat. Her broadcast lasted longer than 2 hours, so the podcast contains her final song, rather than beginning right away with my show.

I played a pre-recorded interview with Scarlot Harlot, the Unrepentant Whore - the founder and co-producer of the festival. Please click here for a transcript of the interview and here on IndyBay. I deeply apologize for not knowing how long the interview was and not allowing enough time in the broadcast to play the entire interview.

Much to my displeasure, the cassette player at the studio does not work, and according to the station manager will NEVER work NOR will it EVER be replaced as he says, "Tapes are obsolete". Well, my music collection and methods of interviewing beg to differ. So, I had to move the microphone down to my handheld cassette player and play it that way. Scarlot was unable to provide a live interview as the festival kicked-off on the 14th with the School for Johns, and was happening right during my broadcast. It was great spending so much time with Scarlot, and talking about the festival.

I hope you enjoy this podcast and learn a little more about sex workers. The festival is all about "creating a cultural institution"(Scarlot Harlot), providing awareness, education and creating a creative community and outlet for sex workers and those that love them.

Thank you Scarlot and all the producers of the event for all of your hard work! I can't wait to take part in some of the festivities.
