A Stripper's Guide Podcast
A Stripper’s Guide Podcast highlights the ways that sex workers, femmes, queer folks, and women have to contend with systemic oppressors in our daily lives, and how that affects everything from our intimate relationships and our careers to our mental health and our physical safety.
This show does tackle some heady topics in here, but don't worry -- I also know how to keep you entertained. I’m a stripper, after all ;)
A Stripper's Guide is a multimedia support platform for sex workers and femmes, founded in 2020 by Leilah Feinstein.
