  • August 2025: Sex Worker Pregnancy & Parenting, Debut Novel Vectors & The People's Letters
    Welcome to our (very, very, very late) August episode of Radio AvA! A little audio memory of summer to tantalise you as we head firmly into autumn.Jack Parker & Sapphire (as well as gorgeous baby Amber) joined us in the studio to discuss everything from sperm donors to transition and pregnancy to how and if to talk to your child about your sex work status. It's a gripping conversation that addresses pregnancy and parenthood from the unique perspective of sex workers. Babylon Bonnybunz also joined us in studio to give us the premier of their new forthcoming novel Vectors, an apocalyptic steampunk ride through hooking at the end of the world. We are so honoured to have the first look at that fascinating piece of writing and even enjoyed a brief Q&A. Finally, Jack gave us a brief update on the future of The People's Letters, which has of course changed drastically since the recording of this episode. Ahhh time is non linear and it's all historic. Don't worry, we didn't forget about the Wankers Corner either. Enjoy! And as always let ue know what you think <3

  • April 25: Emergency Episode on the Supreme Court Ruling of the "definition of a woman".

    Due to the terrible Supreme Court ruling on the "definition of a woman" Lolly saw fit to call the besties from THORN in for an emergency episode to discuss what exactly this means for our community, how we can support transwomen & transfemmes & what support is out there. Julian & Alexandra joined Lolly in studio to rage, grieve and most importantly look towards the future. It's a must listen for the community and all of our allies who want to do better.

  • January 2025: Racialised Sex Work

    This episode is co-facilitated by our comrade Julian along with our co-host and Radio AvA regular Grey. Race and sex are perpetually intertwined realms of human life. We wish we could talk about everything today but the items we will be discussing now are the things we feel impact our current work. Being: a promiscuity associated with POC workers, age perceptions in different races, the racialisation of clients and critical whiteness studies.
