I'll Take A Shot At That

Hilo Coffee founder and sustainability manager Martín Rojas Arboleda joins Matthew in the studio to discuss a radical new approach to sustainability by re-envisioning an industry very close to many of our hearts, COFFEE!

The coffee industry is precarious. In the conventional coffee trading system, the middleman makes money, while coffee farmers fear for their existence all year round. They have to work long and hard every day and are most directly affected by factors such as economic instability, exploitation and the unpredictable effects of climate change. In addition, they have no choice but to live on loans and credits as they are paid only once a year after the harvest.

Hilo is an alternative system to the conventional coffee trade. By establishing a direct connection to small coffee farmers, we enable coffee lovers like you to make a difference and actively participate in a change towards sustainability.

Lila is a multi-disciplinary sex worker and a representative of Hydra. Originally from England, she has found a welcome home in Berlin where she focuses her time between creating events and art, and being an activist for feminist, Sex Worker and environmental issues....With some hedonism thrown in just for fun.

She joins us to discuss the upcoming event Huren Hören which will feature a curated line-up of storytellers from across the spectrum of Berlin sex workers, from pro-dommes to full-service escorts and more. Hosted by Smut Slam founder Cameryn Moore (herself a former phone sex operator), this intimate, enthralling evening of true-life tales offers its audiences both entertainment and insight, art and activism, and a chance to really understand what we mean when we say, “Sex Work is Work.”
