WHat I wORE to Work, an interview with Jo Weldon, part II (Dressed Classic)


Listen Later

Based on her one-woman show, WHat I wORE to Work, Jo Weldon joins us for the second half of our Dressed Classic episode from 2024 to explore the "intersection of fashion, culture and sex work." In part II, we hear about the laws governing what strippers can and cannot wear, what Jo herself wore in her many roles within the sex industry and her ongoing work as a sex worker activist.
