I am SO honoured and happy to have my dear friend Steph Sia (aka Kim Chi) come and join me for the very first episode! You can't talk about pole without talking about stripping. Steph is a pole and exotic dancer with many many side hustles. She joins me to chat about some of the origins of pole dance, which does take roots in strippers and sex workers. We also chat about the stigma behind sex workers, the divide between pole "sport" and "dance" and the various styles of exotic dance. Steph also hosts her own podcast called Stripped by Sia - so if you like what you hear, go join her where she interviews so many wonderful sex workers - this episode only skims the surface!

You can find Steph on Instagram at siasteph, strippedbysia (podcast), siaaroundtheworld (travelling blog), and siaslurps (food). Stripped by Sia is available on all platforms where podcasts can be found.
