42. Deviant Ollam
There’s a lot of overlap between hackers and sex workers. The two demographics share obstacles regarding constant misrepresentation and the threat of reactionary government and prosecutorial overreach. Deviant Ollam, a renowned lock-pick in both the digital and physical realms, noticing these areas of shared threat and interest, began freely offering his expertise in physical and digital security basics training for sex workers.
In today's episode, Deviant and I talk about assessing one's personal "threat model", managing the delicate balances between freedom, safety and security, what kinds of crazy gadgets are out there to both compromise and assure your safety, and the perfect way to construct an impenetrable password.

41. Re-Broadcast: Super Bowl Sex Trafficking
Every year, tales of the great and fabled Super Bowl sex trafficking upswing make their rounds online. These rumors instill fear in the upstanding public, and infuse law enforcement and anti-trafficking organization with cash for intervention measures. But this myth has been long-debunked, so why does it remain in such heavy rotation? Join me in talking with Reason.com Senior Editor Elizabeth Nolan Brown about the origin of this moral panic, and check out the Super Bowl Sunday Sex Worker Bail Out Fund, coordinated by SWOP-Behind Bars' Alex Andrews, in partnership with LIPS Tampa.

40. May Jeong
This week I’m joined by Vanity Fair reporter May Jeong. May has an impressive, award-draped body of work that is soon to include a book about sex work. She came into my life due to her incredible loongform reporting on the Robert Kraft Case. Our conversation in this episode centers around her evolution as a writer, how she came to be on the sex work beat, and how her own experiences, many relevant to her identity as a woman of Korean descent have shaped her conception of journalistic ethics and tone in covering sensitive topics.

Customer Reviews
Flame, I definitely recommend
I have nearly finished the series, every episode offers up new information in an incredibly unique way. I’ve learned so much about the sex work industry, and listening to ADSW has really inspired me to take a more active approach to volunteer work related to harm reduction programming in my own community.
Thank you!
The stories in this podcast are all too familiar for so many of us and I believe they help re-humanize sex workers to any listener unfamiliar or those who objectify us. Each one of us has led such roller coaster lives and have all come to this lifestyle in such captivating ways.
Important stories
These are important stories, told in a professional and entertaining way. Listening to these episodes is a fun and deeply thought provoking experience.
