During the 1-900 number craze of the Nineties, one company provided the vastmajority of phone sex. American Telnet was an empire founded by the man whocalled himself “The Telephone Pimp.” He ran the company “like General Motors”and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the callsand delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma againstsex work was always lurking just beneath the surface until it threatened to tearapart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?),OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-levelcorporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technologicalrevolution…and on the front lines of a sexual one.
