Listen Later

It's the Sex and Self Worth Episode; and for this instalment of The Polyester Podcast we're taking a deep dive into the world of dating, relationships, sex, and loving yourself.

For ask an expert, we're talking to trans-activist Charlie Craggs; who will be dishing out all her best boy advice. From dating while transitioning, to how she's learnt to treat men differently after being socialised as one growing up — Charlie will tell us how to find your own self worth even when it feels impossible to like yourself. 


In this weeks obsession section, we speak to the wonderful Melbourne based artist Jordyn McGeachin.  After building a cult following on Instagram for her honest artistic interpretations of the realities of dating; we fell in love with Jordyn's work for dousing the grim reality of dating apps in a saccharine sweet aesthetic, representing non skinny women as gorgeous and their surroundings decadent and romantic.


Jordyn chats with us about the loneliness of intimacy, the lack of hyper-romance in our modern world, why our bedrooms are sacred spaces, and much more.


The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham. Thank you to our assistant Jemima Skala. This weeks artwork has been created by episode guest Jordyn McGeachin. The Polyester podcast is supported by Depop, with new episodes released every other week.
