Author Chris Zeischegg joins us to talk about his newest book, Creation: On Art and Becoming. Chris' work is semi-autobiographical and heavily influenced by his years working in the sex industry. Longtime collaborator, Luka Fisher, serves as a muse and a thread that weaves Chris' newest collection of short stories and essays together. We discuss the book, Luka's role in both the book and Chris' life, the impact of toxic masculinity on everyone in the sex trade regardless of gender, and the shadow side of porn - all of which appear in Chris' transgressive and visceral writings. Content warning: we discuss the impact of sex work including self harm and suicidal ideation. We encourage you to take care of yourself while listening or ,skipping this week if you need to.

December 17th is recognized as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers and this week author and advocate, Chanelle Gallant, joins us to break down how violence is amplified through criminalization and how migrant sex workers are most at risk. We cover the moral panic surrounding human trafficking, Chanelle shares the abolitionist perspective on sex work, and we dive into her new book Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant Sex Workers Fighting for Justice, which she co-authored with Elene Lam. We explore the unique ways that oppressive systems intersect to criminalize migrant sex workers and the strange solidarity between progressives and conservatives on the criminalization of sexuality. You can learn more about the book at notyourrescueprojectbook.com [https://notyourrescueprojectbook.com] Chanelle Gallant has been fighting the criminalization of sexuality for 25 years, from organizing queer sex parties that were raided by the police to advocating for sex workers internationally. She is the co-author of the book Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant Sex Workers Fighting for Justice, the co-founder of the Migrant Sex Workers Project, SURJ-Toronto and other grassroots racial justice and sex worker organizations. Chanelle sits on the national board for Showing Up for Racial Justice and Catalyst Project and has helped to move millions into frontline organizing through grassroots fundraising.

From which toys are best for newbies, when it's appropriate to gift a toy to a friend and even what your kinky bestie needs in their kit, we are covering the gamut of giftable sex toys. At the top of our list... Magic Wand. Even Sarah, the lover of low key vibrators, has been converted to the powerful classic toy that started it all! We also pay tribute to our friend who sadly passed last week, the founder of the best lube company on the planet Sliquid, Dean Elliott.
