  • No Kissing, No Bullshit with Chantal Heide

    What do you get when you combine 20 years of stripping, a sober mind, and a fierce passion for truth? Today’s guest: Canada’s #1 Dating Coach Chantal Heide. Onyx Sachi said we had to talk to her— and she was right! Chantal joins AMD to share how she went from collecting raw data in strip clubs to becoming a published author, livestream coach, and the creator of the Evolution Revolution movement. She’s flipping the script on relationships and we’re taking notes.

  • Who Gets to Tell Our Stories with Edie Montana

    Today, AM sits down with Edie Montana, founder of Slvt Riot, the former  “Berlin Strippers Collective”, to hear how a promising documentary turned into a betrayal. What began as a sex worker-led collaboration slowly warped into a sensationalized script, using Edie’s trauma without her consent. We talk about blurred professional boundaries, the red flags she missed, and why sex workers end up exploited by the people who claim to support us. This story matters — and it could happen to anyone.


    *Trigger Warning: There is talk of SA in this episode.

  • Third Time’s the Charm After Three Breast Implant Procedures

    After four episodes guest hosting our series on elective surgeries, Lisa Michelle steps out of the host seat and into the spotlight to share her own story - one shaped by years of dancing, pain, research, and three separate breast surgeries. This candid conversation with Onyx gets into what Lisa wishes she had known before her first augmentation, how pole dancing influenced her surgical decisions, and what finally made her say enough and choose a completely different path for her third and final procedure.

About YAS Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Formerly known as "Yes, a Stripper Podcast". Strippers are real people that are capable of amazing things, in and outside of the strip club.  On “YAS Podcast” each week with a different guest, our hosts discuss what strippers are up to, what the climate in and outside of the clubs is like and how social classifications can be harmful to marginalized groups.  Strippers, sex workers, pole dancers and civilians can learn from stripper and sex worker community members and their allies.
